Are there buy buttons on the side of the page? If so, you've caught this pattern on one of the handful of days every year when it's available! If not, read on for details of where it went and what to do if you want to be notified the next time it's available.




A few years ago I got overwhelmed by my back catalog, retired most of my earlier work, and launched Tiny Nonsense. That gave me space to make Cool New Stuff! But some people missed the earlier things, so I make many of the retired patterns available for a few days once or twice a year.

  • If you see the buy buttons on this page, you’ve caught it on one of the days it’s available! You can buy it just like usual.

  • If you don’t see the buy buttons on this page, then it’s not currently available. It will probably be available the week after Thanksgiving and for a few days in June or July.

  • If you want to hear when the retired patterns come back, subscribe to the mailing list or patreon, or keep an eye on my instagram.




Curls are marvelously flexible, wearable wraps that work with any weight of yarn, can be knit at any gauge, and look beautiful at any size.

Knit them small and wear them as a cowl. Keep going to make a scarf. Do a bit more, and you’ve got a shawl. They form a wonderfully curved shape that drapes beautifully around your neck and shoulders and can be worn in lots of different ways.

You can see several Curls laid out flat in the picture at the left (though please note the picture shows several of the patterns in the book, and the precise shape of the pieces differs slightly from pattern to pattern). And you can see some of the variety of ways to wear your Curl in the collage picture of all the patterns in the book. They really are marvelously versatile!
