The Big Hats collection is a group of quick hats knitted out of thicker weight yarns.

Mzansi means south or down in Zulu and Xhosa, as in the South in South Africa.

I wanted to make an easy-to-wear summer top that had enough detail to make it interesting but was classic and simple so it could be a wardrobe staple. Knit from the top down in one piece with no seams this drop shoulder pattern is simple but will suit many different body shapes. There is the option to add more to the sleeves if you want more ar...

A perfect sock pattern for knitting your festive socks, whether they are in a Candy Cane colour way or not. The design works really well on solid, semi-solid or self-striping yarn. The pattern is a rib with a twist, the twisted stitch cable runs up the rib to mimic the swirl on the candy canes. It is a very easy to remember repeat meaning you c...

Wrapdown as you count down to the festive season, or not. While this pattern is designed so you can use a 24 mini skein countdown calendar you by no means have to, there are lots of options (see variations). Or make a cowl if you prefer.

This is the perfect sock pattern to get you into the mood for autumn and all things cosy and warm. The subtle design works really well on solid, semi-solid or self-striping yarn. It is created entirely with knits and purls, no special stitches necessary.

A nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust. The mohair in this sweater made me think of clouds and the pictures of nebulas are such beautiful colours you could make yours any colour that makes your heart happy

The Winter Wonder Wrap is a long wrap knit on the bias. It is knitted in 24 sections so that you can use a mini skein countdown/advent calendar or your own 24 mini skeins. It can also be made out of one colour for the 24 sections and a contract for the bands in-between.

At the start of 2020 I don’t think anyone expected quite what we got from this year. Such lovely double numbers seemed to hold the promise of something great. Many of us had plans to make it a great year. What we imagined and what we got were 2 very different things! My Parallel Universe Socks are my representation of what we dreamed versus wha...

I was helping my daughter to do some natural dyeing for her Textiles GCSE and there was left over onion skin dye. I had a skein of undyed yarn in my stash, so I decided to experiment with the dye, it seemed a pity to waste it.

Perfect light cardigan for those Spring, and Autumn days when the weather is changing, and you need to keep the chill at bay. Lace weight might be daunting, but the gauge is the same as a fingering weight cardigan, so you are knitting the same number of stitches over the same area. This cardigan is knitted in a looser gauge. It is light and air...

I designed the baby version of the Little Nutbrown Hare hat many years ago and it is still my go-to hat for friends are having a baby. But over the years I have had many requests to make the pattern for older children and even adults. Finally, that is now a reality and the Big Nutbrown Hare Hat is available. Same cute hat and cables now for old...

As the name suggests this is a sweater you get to make entirely As You Like It. I don’t have a big yarn budget so I used 2 ombre stacks that I was given as a gift to make this design. You can make this sweater out of anything you like that fits your budget and style.

This hat compliments the Be Brave Wrap as it incorporates one of the stitches. Make the set or just enjoy the hat.

Be Brave - even if you’re not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference

This Geeky hat is inspired by the Schrodinger’s cat thought experiment. The textured pattern is made up of squares that are half garter stitch and half stocking stitch, representing the cat in the box that could be both dead and alive.

This is the Grande or Large version of the first pattern I ever designed on Ravelry, my Winter is Coming Shawl. Lots of people have been waiting for this larger version and here it is at last.

Are they knit-worthy?**

What are the chances that your best friend, no, your bestest best friend has the same name as you? I met Sally through the fibre world and while we live with thousands of km between us we spend our whole day together through the power of the interwebs.

This pattern forms part of the Friendship across the Oceans collection with Clare Devine

It’s a brand new day!

Burst Is an asymmetrical triangular shawl knit from the bottom up. The top ends with a little picot edge. The lace is added by picking up along the sides after the body is finished.

My brave friend I designed this pattern for has lost her battle with cancer. She was only 32.

I was walking along the beach with my kids and I spotted a pea-green boat. It immediately made me think of the poem about the Owl and The Pussy Cat. I thought it would make a really cute baby hat.
