My New Years’ resolution for 2013 is to actually publish the back log of patterns I’ve been dreaming up for years now.

Meander is a geometric cowl, modeled after the Greek Key pattern. With small ribbing at either edge and a bold colorwork pattern in the middle, Meander is the perfect accessory for professional and casual wardrobes alike. The sample is worked in Berroco Vintage in Ruby and Mellow.

Capelo is a simple toque with knotwork cables emerging from the brim ribbing. Decreases are worked to pull the knotwork cables inward to the crown and finish with a symmetrical twist. Capelo is easily adapted for children by working one less pattern repeat. Capelo (adult size) in pictures made with Cascade 220 Heathers in Indigo Frost.

Pinna is a cowl/infinity scarf worked in a simple variation of feather-and-fan stitches. Worked in super bulky yarn on large needles, Pinna is easy to memorize, quick to knit, and deliciously warm to wear. The strong structure and hint of lace make Pinna well-suited for wearers of both genders and all ages. Cowl in pictures is made with one ske...

Mellifera is a pair of fingerless gloves with a delicate lace cuff transitioning to a honeybee lace insert on the hand. Mellifera is a quick knit, perfect for a weekend or road trip project; ideal for an impressive last minute gift! Gloves in pictures were made with Manos del Uruguay Maxima in Oxygen (M2349).

Epona is a simple, slightly slouchy lace hat, and my first exploration in beaded knitting. Single-ply yarn brings a soft definition to the columns of lace. Model hat is in Madeline Tosh Merino Light in Briar.

Trellis is a simple yet elegant stole meant to wrap the shoulders on late summer nights and into early fall. The straight knit columns are divided by slanting lacework, reminiscent of the trellis of sweet peas my mother keeps each year. The lace pattern is a 4 stitch repeat, quick to memorize, and easy to knit during a delightfully busy summer....

Pluvia is named for the delicate, beautiful, shower stitch that makes up the lace section of this versatile bolero. Worked in DK yarn, Pluvia provides just the right amount of warmth for Spring and Summer, the perfect accent to a strapless summer dress. A rectangle of lace is grafted at the ends to make sleeves, then the collar is picked up fro...

Julia is an infinity scarf, worked in the round from the bottom up. Garter stitch stripes are pulled into an undulating wave by section of long, criss-crossed slipped stitches. It showcases variegated colorways and yarns with varied thickness particularly well. Julia can be worn in one loop, falling to mid-torso, wrapped around the neck twice f...

Leigh is a gently spiraling shawl worked sideways, alternating stockinette and lace sections in a simple yet elegant design. Increases on every row and decreases on alternate rows give this shawl a slow spiral shape. Worked sideways from one tip, Leigh is infinitely resizable and can be made with as little or as much yarn as desired.

Nimue is a set of fingerless gloves featuring intricately worked twisted stitch cables, reminiscent of delicate Celtic knotworks. Rows of twisted stitches run up the inner arm and onto the palm of the gloves, providing visual interest and flexible shaping through the wrist and hand. The cable is a deceptively simple 6 row repeat, accessible to ...

Mountain is a simple take on the classic beanie. An overall stitch pattern is a variation on basket weave stitches, with a purl background lending some softness to the structure and intermittent knit stitches providing direction and tiny pockets of air underneath to hold in warmth. The crown decreases are worked in a no slant double decrease, p...

Freya is a simple lacework scarf designed to showcase beautiful bulky yarn in a dramatic presentation. She can be grafted into an infinity scarf, finished with buttons for versatility or cast off as a simple scarf. She knits up quickly on size 10 needles, and is wonderfully warm. If finishing with buttons, you will need 3 buttons, I found 3/4” ...

Designed for the beautiful Merrilee, these fingerless gloves feature woven panels and a lace accent on the back of each hand.

mitts thick enough to keep out the chill of autumn in Oregon….

just enough gloves were designed for my friend and coworker, Kat. She types all day by floor-to-ceiling windows and needs gloves that keep her warm without getting in the way: just enough gloves!

My friend Maile is a transplant from her native Hawaii to the Pacific Northwest. The shawl named in her honor is inspired by her namesake, the Maile vine. This beautiful and fragrant vine features prominently in Hawaiian leis.

I designed these gloves to match the Masala hat by Meera Kothari Cho I knit my youngest sister for our xmas exchange. She saw her hat and asked, “but where are my fingerless gloves”?
