“Code 2319” is the alert shouted when a monster is contaminated by a human child’s sock in the movie Monsters Inc. The orange and yellow monster is captured and the offending sock is removed and destroyed. Then he is shaved and showered. Poor monster. The peachy orange and sunny yellow of this design look as though they could have been spun fro...

Sometimes a yarn finds you. This is what happened with Yarn Carnival’s Sci-Fi colorway. I saw the yarn and knew that it was destiny. This yarn would make a stunning pair of socks. Ana, the dyer, says that combination of such bright colors set out against a silvery neutral background was inspired by vintage dramatic science fiction movie posters.

A Rainbow Bridge is a magical connection between this life and what’s beyond. It can be a connection between friends that transcends distance and time. It can be the path to enlightenment.

Many of us are drawn to nature for inspiration. The life energy created by the floral and natural beauty can recharge the soul. This small shawl captures that connection through a variety of floral textures and webby lace.

This summer, I visited Graceland, Elvis’s massive estate in Tennessee. We toured the mansion, the gravesite, the airplanes and 5 small museums. It was 95 degrees and quite humid. We found the little ice cream onsite called Shake Split and Dip. I ate Banana and Peanut Butter ice cream, in honor of The King’s favorite treat.

Best. Grandmother. Ever.

The Pattern:

HR Giger is a stunning visual artist who has inspired me for decades. His fine detail and subtle use of color are truly amazing. When I saw photos of Witch Candy’s Oil Slick colorway, I was instantly hit with the same sense of awe. The subtle richness of that colorway was like staring into a Giger.

Named for the largest body of liquid on Titan.

When I’m feeling under the weather, I always make myself a simple tea using fresh ginger, honey and lemon. The ingredients mix to make a tasty and soothing treat that can ease a sore throat and tame a troubled tummy. Even if I’m completely healthy, I love making ginger tea and curling up with a good book on a cold day.

I lived in Asia for quite some time and found so many great flavors. I fell in love with the spicy food and amazing fruit drinks. Bubble Tea is extremely popular with its sweet taste and entertaining tapioca pearls. A delight for the mouth and the eye! The twisted stitches in this design form little bubble shapes that remind me of warm afternoo...

Shiny scales reflecting the moonlight. The gorgeous optic colors created by Witch Candy Yarn’s “Bustin’ Outta Bushwick” colorway create a snakeskin effect when worked in a simple broken seed stitch. The pattern enhances this effect with a snaking eyelet border.

Dimensions:

Mix the stunning simplicity of horizontally striping garter stitch with the bold playfulness of 2-color brioche false cables to make a truly wearable hat. By pairing dynamic colors of yarn, both the cowl and hat have an interesting reversible fabric.

This design is inspired by my travels in the autumn of 2015. I first visited Santa Fe and fell in love with the Navajo woven fabric designs. The dramatic colors and simple motifs adorned rugs, pillows and clothing.

I have always loved ponchos, even when they weren’t particularly fashionable. They are pretty much like wearing a hug. When I set out to design this poncho, I wanted to make a garment that is suitable for layering, that was trendy and most of all, and that was not like wearing a blanket! I hope you agree that this modular garter stitch top achi...

I designed this ear warmer while working and touring around the USA. We had been chasing the endless summer until our arrival in Bloomington. The wind was chilly and the leaves brilliant. I needed a quick fix to keep my ears warm so I could explore the gorgeous hiking trails and admire the foliage. Dreaming of the outdoors and thinking forward ...

I’ve visited New Orleans several times and always been drawn in by its unique charm. I’m not necessarily interested in the on-the-street party of Mardi Gras, but love the bright colors and beads that decorate the city. While visiting the French Quarter last fall, I found a great yarn store called The Quarter Stitch. Their assortment of gorgeous...

My wonderful, whale-loving boyfriend asked me to make him beluga socks for his birthday in April. I said yes. In my mind, I didn’t mean that I would actually finish them by April. Well, after an additional 4 months of working (and not working) on them, they are finished. I promise it won’t take you 4 months to make them yourself. Worked in 3 co...

Ubud is an artist community on the island of Bali. Locals and expats create wooden carvings, and vibrant batik fabrics. The linen stitch and color mixing reminds me of the colorful scenery in Ubud.

I love making i-cord. It’s easy and it’s fun. And you can use it in so many colorful ways. Besides the traditional use for bind-offs and drawstrings, you can use an i-cord countless ways around the house and even in aspects of your wardrobe. Make dozens and have little bits of color everywhere.

Why settle for normal boring plain light switch plates? Use up leftover sock yarn and brighten your life with a fun knitted light switch plate cover. Knit in the round on dpns or using the magic loop. It’s the perfect stash buster for leftover stripey or variegated yarns.

Any parent or grandparent knows their baby is the cutest in the world. They might be biased, just like this blanket.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t see straight before my first cup of coffee. I walk crooked, I talk crooked and I even think crooked. The crooked cable lines on the reusable cozy remind me of that feeling.

Find inspiration in neat stripes and twisting cables. Worked in rich jewel tones and vibrant neutrals, Cleopatra will make you feel like a queen. This hat will push your knitting to a whole new level by working a two-color cable without a cable needle. Because there’s only one cable, it’s easier than ever to learn a new technique and try out un...

Last year, I designed a pattern for an adorable 6-legged octopus (a HEXAPUS). The legs were crocheted separately from the body and then sewn on. After making about a dozen of these cute creatures, I adapted the pattern to make the legs as I go and eliminate all the tedious sewing. I also decided to make this version with 8 legs (though I do inc...

I created this pattern at the request of my friend Sara. The Capybara is the world’s largest rodent and is native to South America. Sara and I are fond of them due to the Japanese obsession with the rodent.

I first created this design while living in Singapore. Because it is always so hot, the air-conditioning is very strong and my neck would get so chilly indoors. I like to think of this scarf as the perfect “bus scarf.” Small enough to fit into your shoulder bag when not needed and the perfect size to wrap around your neck when the air condition...

Several years ago, I was inspired to alter my traditional “Backdoor Monkey” design and make an amigurumi monkey with two heads.

Skoopy Hat is a fully customizable slouchy beanie that will keep your head and ears warm on windy days. I’ve made dozens of them for many people. It is a very popular hat!

This is a double pattern for the retro style fuzzy dice that people sometimes hang in their cars. One version is for fuzzy/ novelty yarns and the other version is for smoother yarns.

While visiting a friend in NYC earlier this year, she showed me a cute amigurumi octopus named Chutney. I tried, unsuccessfully to steal him from her by hiding him in my luggage. When I returned to Singapore, I decided to make my own cute octopus using some scrap yarn that my friend had given me. My octopus had similar construction to hers exce...

After making dozens of amigurumi monkeys with a special backdoor feature, I have finally published a pattern.
