Shawlidarity is a top-down triangle shawl, with wings worked in short rows. Pattern as written works for DK or worsted weight, although it includes a tip for making your shawl larger or smaller if you decide to use a different weight. Don’t sweat the gauge!

“Lighthouse is a C2C crocheted throw blanket inspired by a painting seen in HBO Max’s piratical rom-com Our Flag Means Death. The lighthouse is a symbol of a guiding light, but also a warning against self-destruction.

This is a crochet copycat version of a hat worn by Oluwande (portrayed by Samson Kayo) in the fantastic HBO (a)historical romcom “Our Flag Means Death.” It features a rolled brim, a geometric tapestry design, and a negative-ease-fit. For a more traditionally-fitting beanie (or if you’re like me and have a big noggin), increase your starting cha...

When I want to experiment with a new stitch pattern or technique, I grab some scrap yarn and make a bow tie. That’s what happened when I wanted to learn the herringbone stitch. I loved how it turned out so much, I had to write it all down.

If you’ve ever seen me in the shop I work in, or at a trade show, you’ll be familiar with my love of bowties. Especially during those muggy summer months when I really want to wear knits, but just can’t survive a shawl or sweater.
