I grew up in in Fredericton, New Brunswick and still call it home today. There are a number of local nicknames for certain parts of town and one of my favourites is Rabbit Town. Thought to be named for the practice of blue collar workers snaring rabbits and even breeding rabbits in the area for food or you can read more about the history at the...

Wolastoq (pronounced “woolastook”) is a word used by the Maliseet First Nations people which means beautiful river. The eagle, fish and traditional Salish motifs comb...

The Tamarack Cowl is a richly textured and cabled cowl using popular fisherman knit cable and texture panels. Knit in the round with DK weight yarn, this cowl pattern has both charted and written directions.

A simple cowl with columns of cables and flying geese motifs inspired by BBC’s Sherlock. Knit in the round, the cowl begins with an i-cord cast on, and finishes with an i-cord bind off for neat and tidy edges.

I made a few scrunchies for my daughter with some sock yarn scraps I had, and I thought I would share my method for making scrunchies with the world. Knitting these in public, made me realize how polarizing scrunchies are…some people really hate them!

Envy Checked Mittens is a stranded mitten pattern available in 3 sizes. Chart reading skills are essential. Two cuff options are provided: a 2 colour cuff, and a regular ribbed cuff. These mittens are made using worsted weight wool knit at a tighter gauge to create a thick and warm mitten.

I love mittens made with worsted weight wool knit at a tight gauge. Add a graphic check and I’m in mitten heaven!

This pattern includes instructions for 2 dishcloths. One is smaller and more rectangular than the other, which is more squarish. The smaller cloth shows the silhouette of a wiener dog/dachshund with a small heart over its back, the larger cloth says I Heart My and then has the dog silhouette below. The pattern includes line by line instructions...

This is a free pattern for toe-up ankle socks or footies, written specifically for Cascade fixation, or a comparable yarn (Cascade is a DK weight yarn). It is written for knitters familiar with sock construction, and knitting on one long circular needle (I do 2 at a time), but you may choose double points if you prefer. This basic pattern inclu...

My son has been asking for replacement wiener dog hat since he was a toddler (someone had given him a factory made one with a wiener dog on the front). I finally charted one up and stretched the body around the hat and knit a few prototypes. From one side, it’s a striped hat, from the other - a wiener dog. You can choose to wear your wiener to ...

I adore knitting socks, especially 2 at a time and toe-up. My kids love them and I can’t make them fast enough! My answer is Kroy sock yarn. I personally find it to be thicker than fingering weight, more like a sport weight yarn. Using 3 mm needles, I can whip off socks for my appreciative kids (and even me) in no time flat. Add to that fact th...
