The Adelia collection is the perfect cowl and mitts set to keep you warm and cozy on cool days. The pattern includes three variations on one lovely floral and heart motif; a cowl, fingerless mitts and full mitts. I love how soft and delicate the pattern looks when worked in subtly contrasting tones, and then how it turns into something completely fun and funky when done in brighter, bolder shades. Just because the weather is turning cooler doesn’t mean we can’t still have fun with flowers!

An e-book with four patterns, each featuring the gradient chevron rainbow that inspired me so much that I just couldn’t stop working with it! The colourwork portion of these designs is deceptively simple, it’s all worked with slipped stitches, so you’re never knitting with more than one colourway at a time. The collection features a ladies cardigan and hat as well as a baby cardigan and hat. Something for everyone!

I designed the Lucky penny Baby Collection for my son throughout the first year of his life. I designed and knit the Keyfit Baby Blanket while I was expecting him. When he was born and we met our little boy I designed his first hoodie! When the weather turned cooler and he needed a hat the Frosted Alpine hat was born. And finally, as a new mom to a baby boy I had no idea I would become such a huge fan of the knit vest! It’s the perfect layering piece for my smart little man.

The 2015 TFA Year In Colour Club has a “Patterns Only” membership option! Every second month (January, March, May, July, September and November) this eBook will be updated with a new exclusive pattern designed to feature a different TFA yarn base. 6 designs ranging from lace weight through worsted weight - single skein projects - fun galore!

The slouchy hat is not only a super versatile and flattering style, but it’s also the perfect canvas on which to experiment and play with colour and pattern. The Four Seasons is a collection of designs, each inspired by a season. All 4 hats follow the same set of instructions, it’s just the charts that are different. I’ve chosen to show them all in a colour palette evoked by the season they represent, but feel free to play with colour and mix it up!

A collection of four shawl designs, each featuring a different Tanis Fiber Arts fingering weight yarn base. The shawls are all unique, like each star in the sky. Stella is Latin for ‘star’, two shawls are inspired by stars in constellations, and two are inspired by the biggest star of all - the sun!

Thick stripes, thin stripes, horizontal, vertical. These socks have it all for my fellow stripe lovers! Heck, why not throw a sweet cable down the heel too for a little fun. These were a really rewarding “design as you go” project for me. I just started knitting a comfy ribbed sock and decided to see where the stripes would take me. My original...

I am not over Granny squares. My love for them is still full blown. It’s so deeply rooted that granny squares have become my new sock project. The project that is always sitting in a basket beside my knitting nook ready to be grabbed at any moment for a few quick stitches. This cardigan is my ode to my favourite colour palette done up in my cur...

I have had the idea for this sweater in my mind (and in my heart!) for years but I was too daunted by the unknowns of combining crochet with knitting to tackle it. Well, now that I’ve done it, I don’t know what I was afraid of! These sister crafts were meant to work together and I am beyond thrilled with the results. This sweater combines just ...

When I designed my original worsted weight City Limits sweater pattern I had no idea what a staple it would become in my pattern collection. It quickly became my go-to pattern for gift knits. It’s such a versatile shape and lends itself so well to any number of simple modifications (stripes anyone?) and I knew that I needed to add a fingering w...

I can’t be the only person squirrelling away single skeins of special yarn for a rainy day, am I? I designed this cowl to use exactly one such skein. I am very particular about my cowls, I need them to be sturdy and seductive! I need my cowls to hold their shape and stand up to really do the hard work of keeping the wind off my neck and chin. T...

If I had a dollar for every time I described one of my summer knits as easy breezy I could retire! But, how else can I describe how it feels to wear a drapey silk/linen tee with a pretty peekaboo cable side detail? It’s literally the definition of easy breezy and I stand by it. The Quayside tee is exactly what I want to be wearing during the su...

The Flip Side Tee combines two of my all time favourite things: a knitted tee and STRIPES! Of course this simple crew neck tee looks just as fabulous in a solid, but if you present me with a panel of stockinette stitch I will be compelled to add stripes! It’s just in my nature. Featuring a lovely a graphic eyelet detail that flows gracefully fr...

The name of the game for this sweater design is simple, comfortable, easy to wear, flattering shape elevated with a touch of elegance through simple details. The cables start at the neckline and travel down the raglan all the way to the hem. The knitted on cable edgings all around the pretty boatneck and cuffs are such a neat alternative to rib...

This sock pattern really speaks to my soul! I think that I’ve avoided designing socks with too much leg detail because I thought that they would always be covered by the bottom of my pants. How wrong was I!? A beautiful sock peaking out from between your shoes and pant cuff is such a sweet detail. Or layer these socks over tights or leggings. T...

I designed this scarf to highlight a very special skein of DK weight yarn that I had been saving for a worthy project. I decided that my first brioche design was worthy indeed! This pattern is a great introduction to 2 colour brioche. You will master increases as well as right and left leaning decreases and will be ready to tackle something mor...

Cozier - the name says it all! This sweater will make you feel cozier and look cozier than ever before! Be aware that people will be drawn to you in this cozy knit. Be prepared to hug! It’s a super quick knit at a chunky gauge of 3 stitches per inch. Easy to knit, easy to throw on with anything, Cozier is the cold weather staple I’ll be living ...

Iggy Peck, Architect by Andrea Beaty is one of our favourite kids books. The story is great but the thing that grabbed my attention from the very first time I laid eyes on it was the illustration by David Roberts. I became obsessed with Iggy’s sweater and immediately hatched a plan to recreate his iconic look in a sweater design that my whole f...

I looked up synonyms for the word “diamond” since diamonds feature prominently in these sock patterns and the word jager popped up. Jager is apparently an old word whch means the very best of quality within the colour grading of colourless diamonds and “buying these diamonds is a good investment.” So, I think it’s fair to say that knitting this...

Tell me, is there anything cozier than a generously cabled hat? I certainly can’t think of anything. This all-over cabled beauty has the addition of tiny polkadot like bobbles interspersed between the staggered ribbons of 6 stitch rope cables. The bobbles add a nice little bit of extra texture to this classic beanie but are easily omitted and w...

A version of The Ceej Hat is the only hat that Chris has worn for the past decade or so. It’s a classic 1x1 ribbed beanie that is very versatile in both fit and style. Every time I post a picture of Chris on social media there is a very high likelihood that he is wearing one of his signature watchcaps - regardless of the weather, he’s a hat guy...

So much yummy, squishy texture packed into a simple sock! This beautiful basketweave pattern is easily memorized and makes for a fun and relaxing knit. This pattern is graphic enough to stand out against your most speckled sock yarns. Grab your favourite skein and cast on!

How many hearts is too many hearts for one hat? That’s a trick question because obviously the answer is: “There’s no such thing as too many hearts!” This simple fair isle hat is taken up a notch with the addition of heart shaped earflaps. Though absolutely adorable they add a double layer of warmth over the ears making them a practical

You know those gorgeous, rainbow speckled, dynamic, super fun skeins of yarn that you just can’t resist? Well, sometimes picking a pattern to highlight the yarn can be a bit of a struggle since it can be hard to predict how they will knit up. I designed the Ostrica hat pattern to showcase those special skeins in a simple design with plenty of i...

We’ve had a really beautiful fall in my neck of the woods and I was inspired to design a foliage motif hat to celebrate the little things that spark joy. Because now, more than ever, I find it helpful to focus on the little moments of beauty in the everyday. A glowing skein of yarn, a pretty leafy pattern, a red lipstick that makes me feel aliv...

I wore my light and airy fingering weight Rock It Tee so much this summer and as soon as the cool fall breezes started coming around I knew that I needed a cooler weather version to tide me over until the warm weather eventually returns. The Rock It Tee DK features all of the same details that I love about the fingering weight version, includin...

Can a sweater be light and drapey while at the same time being cozy and chunky? I think this sweater design proves that the answer to that question is a resounding YES! I really went for it with the design details, combining lace, cables, nupps, a wide neckline, an oversized fit and of course those statement puff sleeves! Knit at a loose gauge ...

I used to think that summer knits weren’t for me, boy was I wrong! There is nothing more comfortable than an easy breezy knit top. Over the past few years I’ve been working steadily towards building up my summer knits wardrobe. I’ve got a few summer knits in my closet now but what I realize was missing is a staple, go-to, v-neck tee. I’ve chose...

For me, creativity is a fluid thing. It ebbs and flows and though it can be hard to stay positive during the low points, I’ve learnt over the years that it’s important to be patient. I lean into the quiet times and prepare myself to ride the waves of creativity as they come. This shawl design came out of one such wave. After a long winter I fin...

Is there anything better than a pretty lacy sock? I think not. Wearing these lovely socks puts that extra pep in my step on dull winter days.

Last July I became obsessed with knitting with every colour of the rainbow!

The design process was...

Sometimes a special skein of sock yarn calls out for a special sock pattern.

The texture and motion ac...

The Aubade shawl is knit in the round from the center out. It’s a classic Pi Shawl with a few cleverly placed increase rounds and lots of simple knitting in between.

The Bract hat makes the most of a single skein of worsted or aran weight yarn.

I designed this hat to celebrate our cold Canadian winters that allow us to sport lots of gorgeous hand knits. This beanie-style hat features lush, all-over cables that make for a warm and cushy fabric. The decreases are integrated into the cabled motif to create a lovely flower shape at the crown.

The sock features a moss stitch panel that is flanked by two cables running down either side with a twisted stitch detail flowing out of the cuff ribbing.

I originally designed this simple triangular shawl to use a special skein of handspun, then modified the size to use a full skein of multicoloured fingering weight yarn. The pattern is very simple, I combined a few of my favorite shawl construction elements, added some texture, a graphic border and voila! A shawl was born.

A perfect one skein project, this cowl knits up with one skein of Green Label Aran weight yarn, has a really cute bobbly all over texture, and is the perfect way to display some precious pearly buttons (or whatever kind of buttons you fancy, they don’t have to be pearly!)

I designed this baby blanket to show off a wide range of tonal yarns. It’s knit in 1 piece with 1 seam to sew at the end. As it is a blanket, gauge is not crucial. At a DK weight, the finished blanket is 34” square. It would look lovely in an endless amount of colour combinations. I used 8 colours for my version, but I think that it would look ...
