Fall is my favorite season. I love the colors and how everything seems to change so quickly. A green hillside can be a blaze of color the next day, and bare a week later. Fields go from green and lush to brown and empty seemingly overnight. And of course the weather is changeable too.

There’s a wide river near my home. Many bridges cross this river, all with varying degrees of beauty. My favorite though isn’t really a bridge. It’s the remnants of a bridge that was burned down in the Civil War to prevent the advancement of troops. All that remains is a row of pilings, marching across the river.

This reusable bag goes with me every week the farmers market. I love that it doesn’t stretch out, that it goes into the washing machine, and that it carries a ton!

This project is a result of a “what if I?” thought I had one evening. I love moebius cowls, and I love brioche cowls, and I wanted to know what would happen if I combined them. The result? Squishy, soft, stripy goodness!

Living in the Pacific Northwest means meaning lightweight layers for all seasons, and I find myself reaching for linen cowls throughout the spring and summer. This one has found a permanent place in my wardrobe.

Living in the Pacific Northwest, a good pair of socks is always important, even at the beach. My favorite beach, at Elliot Point, is wonderful at all times of the year, both in the summer sitting by a fire or in the winter watching the waves roll in.

One of my favorite things about living in Western Washington is spending time outside. I love hiking through the woods, surrounded by ferns. I love hiking down to a rocky, driftwood covered beach. I especially love hiking in the winter. And what’s better than a squishy brioche cowl for wintertime hiking? Starting with a two color i-cord cast on...

As a spinner, I have so many beautiful and unique single skeins of yarn. It’s always a challenge to find ways to use them that will highlight their beauty. Finding some commercially spun yarn in a similar weight and structure made the answer perfectly clear! A fun, textured, highly wearable cowl that can be knit until the yarn runs out. If you ...

Nothing says winter quite like a fair isle snowflake hat. This hat is the perfect accessory for all winter time activities, and with options for a full hat or a messy bun hat, it’s perfect for everyone!

Nothing says wintertime like a pom pom beanie with a big snowflake motif. This hat is sure to keep your ears warm and be a fun knit. Choose a warm yarn with a good amount of stretch, and pay close attention to your floats.

Brioche is such a warm and cozy stitch, and it makes really lovely cuffs on a pair of mitts. A reverse stockinette panel on the back of the hand adds visual interest.

This cowl is a fun knit, with lace, brioche, mosaic knitting, and cables! It is written in one size, but could easily be made larger. Choose bouncy yarns with good stitch definition, and choose two colors that have good contrast. Gauge isn’t important to this project, and you could easily adapt this pattern to different weights of yarn

These fingerless arm warmers are knit from the bottom up with a woven cable pattern on the back. Knit out of worsted weight yarn, they work up quickly and keep your arms nice and cozy.
