Auvergne is a beautiful cuff-down sock knit with gorgeous multi-colored yarn by Indie Dyer, Casual Fashion Queen. Pattern is a lace pattern that gives an air of cabled work though there are no cables at all. Promise!

This leafy lace pattern has easy-to-follow written instructions, and is the perfect compliment to luxurious cashmere blend Queen of Hearts.

ERRATA: The repeats in rounds 41, 43, 45, 47 are all 1 stitch short. They should each end with an additional knit stitch making them a 12-stitch repeat, NOT an 11-stitch repeat.

HINT: This is not the mathematician of Game #1! (I didn’t know Oxley was a mathematician. NOT a math major!) Keep looking!

Railroaded is a long and narrow scarf with a pair of cables running down the entire length of the scarf. The cables look like a long set of railroad tracks offset by a just a hint of lace. This makes for a great portable project for when you’re on the go.

Enjoy this pattern for free with purchase of Napolitain Hat. Just place both in your cart. Discount is automatic. Thanks and Happy Knitting!

Neptune Mittens are a fun variation of a basic mitten. A cable is added up the back of each hand to add a little bit of texture. These will definitely keep you warm this winter!

Final dimensions are approximately 9” x 61”

Holy Cowl! This cowl is knit in the round with larger needles using a repeated basic lace pattern. Fear not, your finished project will be wide and long enough to keep you plenty warm during cooler months.

This simple, yet elegant lace shawl is just right for a little extra warmth in the fall. Doubling as well as a lightweight, decorative scarf, the design itself has a nice symmetrical look with each side being a mirror image of the other. If you’re already a lace knitter, this is something that can easily be knit up within a few days for a quick...

Filled with the color of nature, the windy and wobbly cables of these cuff-down socks remind me of the wildflowers growing around the monastery in Samokov, near Borovets in western Bulgaria. I don’t know if they’re as soft and squishy as the yarn itself, but they were definitely beautiful!

These cuff-down socks use a combination of basic cables to add a bit of texture to this wonderful yarn, giving the colors an opportunity to speak for themselves in these quick-moving socks.

Combining a bit of lace with a bit of cabling makes for a nice and snug fit to this versatile hat that can be worn both with the edge rolled up or as a beanie. The silk in this yarn adds a luxurious touch and the gorgeous colors remind me of Herefordshire, England in full bloom!

Reminiscent of any woodsy area - especially from this past year’s winter - this small, yet lovely shawl incorporates a simple lace pattern as a scarf but is finished off with picot edge giving it a more feminine, ruffled look as an evening wrap.

Fingerless mitts option being added and will be available as an updated version to this pattern later this spring.

This loose, airy pattern is reminiscent of fish nets used by fishermen throughout the ages. And when I think of fishermen, I think of Gloucester, Massachusetts.

This fun cable pattern for some reason looks a bit wonky thanks to the way the repeated sections come together. It’s fun to work though and has a great look.

Needle size is US 1, 2.25 mm. (Pattern inadvertently shows 2.75.)

As perfect for colder days up in central Ontario as it is right here in Ohio, these fun, striped cowls can each crochet up in less than an evening. An Anchored Triple Crochet stitch is thrown in for good measure to link the colors together.

Revised Summer 2018

Winter is beginning to make itself known here in central Ohio. Whether we’re busy baking pies or watching a football game, we can’t help but notice a certain chill in the air. What better way to keep our hands warm on a cool day raking leaves, or while heading to our favorite cafe in the city, than by wearing these lovely and oh-so-soft fingerl...

Please visit my newest sock design, Auvergne!

I charted out this design for my young nephew, Ben (7), who told me he wanted an OSU sweater for Christmas with a big Block O on it. “But,” he said, “it can’t just be a boring Block O, Aunt Heather. It has to be the kind with the leaf in it.” Well Ben – here you go!

A revised version of this shawl is now available - September Redux. It has it’s own pattern link, but is available here as well. Enjoy!

This is a nice project with a simple yet elegant striped pattern that can be made using leftover yarn from larger lace projects. It’s a relatively simple and a quick knit for last-minute gifts.
