Knitting: Mittens
Here’s a simple mitten pattern that creates cloud-soft, luxurious mittens that make the best gifts.
Knitting: Cowl
A squishy, reversible brioche cowl that hugs the neck in the perfect way to fit inside a coat collar without bulk, the Kanata cowl can be worn scrunched down or folded but is also long enough to pull up over the nose on a cold winter’s day.
Knitting: Gloves
I love wearing handknit gloves. They’re perfect for driving, for cool fall days, and for wearing underneath knit mittens in the cold of winter. The extra layer of my gloves keeps my hands happy and comfy; then I can toss my wet mittens, snowy from clearing off the windshield, onto the seat beside me while I leave my gloves on to drive.
Knitting: Cardigan

Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
Fireglow socks are toasty, squishy, quick-knitting socks for the whole family!
Knitting: Mittens
The Tiny Santas sprang into existence as a Christmas present for my stepdad. He collects Santas, and I suddenly realized that as a knitter, I could get a little carried away with that theme. These mittens are where I started. I fully confess that I chortled with glee during their design process as I watched the little bellies and beards take sh...
Knitting: Cowl
Wintermist is a cozy, hazy, reversible cowl made from plain brioche rib in the round, then topped with a pop of colour and the simplest of brioche rib patterning.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Get your knitting fix with this blend of chevron techniques and gorgeously speckled, subtle yarns. Snug and comfy ribbing fades into a small band of stranded colourwork and emerges as cables and seed-stitch chevrons on the other side. This hat is all about texture and colour!
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This textured, crescent-shaped wrap is a quick knit in cozy worsted-weight yarn. It drapes and wraps easily around the shoulders, and the I-cord edge gives it a little pop of colour and great lines.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
The Fade & Flip shawl is the last in a series of fully reversible, inverse, asymmetrical triangular shawls. You can buy this pattern on its own, OR you can buy the entire Inverse Reverse ebook and get all four shawls for the low, low price of 14.99 CAD.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Two is the second shawl in the Inverse Reverse Collection, a growing ebook that takes the basic nature of One and runs away wild with it. Featuring completely reversible, inverse fabrics in asymmetrical shapes, these shawls play with colours, gradients, cables, and vertical and diagonal stripes. They are graphic and stylish, suitable to be knit...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
One is a simple, wearable, easy-yet-entrancing-to-knit shawl. It features graphic lines that run down both sides of the fabric in inverse colours.
Knitting: Cardigan
At first glance you’ll love the modern styling of this pullover, until you see the unique back opening and subtle A-line shape. Then you’ll fall head over heels for the Chilla pullover! Worked from the bottom up, the sweater is shown here with ¾ sleeves, but the pattern can easily adjust to full sleeves or a sleeveless version.
Knitting: Pullover
You’ll love layering with Alize! This tunic-length pullover features drop shoulders, a roomy neckline, and a very over-sized fit. Knit in pieces from the bottom up, Alize is perfect over a camisole and skinny jeans, or a summer sundress, or a cute skirt, or… well, you get the idea.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
I love the textural subtlety of gansey patterns, simple knit and purl stitches combined in an infinite array of beauty. Pixa combines classic garter ridges with chevrons, swirls, and X’s and O’s.
Knitting: Mittens
The XOX OXO Mittens are squishy and cozy cabled mitts, featuring offset thumb gussets so the cables will run perfectly down the backs of your hands when worn, instead of being pulled off-centre towards your thumbs.
Knitting: Mittens
I’ve been experimenting for years with knitted mittens for my kids. We live near Ottawa, Canada, and playing outside here is serious business. This year, I’ve reluctantly admitted to myself that plain old knitted mittens are great for moving from the house to the cold van, but they just don’t suffice for serious playing in the snow. The snow se...
Knitting: Cuffs
This pattern is available as part of a bundle. When you put it in your cart along with the Beaded Wristers Collection, you’ll automatically save 10% off both.
Knitting: Cowl
This gorgeous snowflake motif is a traditional Scandinavian design. As soon as I saw it, visions of cowls danced in my head. It’s delightful and comforting, like venturing out into a fresh snow fall dressed in warm woolies, then retiring inside to watch nature’s show from a cozy chair with a cup of coffee, a good book, and knitting close by.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This pattern will be available as an individual download and as part of the upcoming Snowed In hats & cowls collection.
Knitting: Earflap Hat
Merry is the Merrick hat’s fun, crazy sibling. I’ve modified it to give it earflaps with I-cord strings and some big, fluffy pompoms. You can choose from 3 sizes and work either from the charts OR the written instructions according to your preference.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Obla is a stranded slouchy hat with a simple, repeating, all-over Fair Isle motif. The longest you’ll have to carry a colour is 3 sts, so there is no need to worry about weaving in the strands to prevent long floats because there aren’t any. The majority of the rows are my favourite, alternating colours every other stitch.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
The Scintillate shawl is elegant and simple, perfect for wearing as a cozy wrap or a small neckerchief. You choose your size and your border pattern.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Need a breezy, interesting project for summertime? The Sea Glass Shawl features some relaxing stockinette stripes and some fun lace -- both charted AND written. Knitting it from the bottom up means the cast off is almost nonexistent. And the lovely, drapey CotLin creates a shawl that’s perfect wear for summer evenings, breezy adventures, and si...
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This is a really basic, simple hat construction. You can certainly follow the fun, stashbusting stripe instructions, or you can just use this pattern as a basic structure for a slouch hat made with any fingering-weight yarn.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
The Scrunchy Ombre Arm Warmers combine two of any knitter’s favorite things: using those up tiny ball balls of leftover sock yarn and stripes. By creating a stripe patterning that repeats and overlaps, there are not only less ends to weave in but it also opens the possibilities for endless color gradients. These simple-yet-addictive arm warmers...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
I saw these colours everywhere this year, and I needed them. But I needed them knitted.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque

This is an adaptation of the Cheery Scrap Cap by Kate Oates, which I LOVE knitting in all sorts of variations, and you can find my notes on what I did at the link below.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
A simple pattern that puts lovely hand-painted yarns to good use. Preemie hats are great for using up leftovers from sock yarn, and you can make 2-4 of these hats from a ball of 50g yarn.
Knitting: Baby Blanket, Throw
This is a simple, yet interesting knitting project, perfect for beginners and accomplished knitters alike.
Knitting: Hats - Other
This mighty Viking Preemie Hat features a garter stitch border, moss stitch detailing, and fiberfill-stuffed horns for added impact. It’s the perfect talisman to lovingly make for a tiny preemie who needs as much strength as he can get.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
These adorable little preemie hats are simple and elegant, with special picot detailing and a hemmed edge. They will impress everyone who sees them, and we knitters won’t tell them how easy they are to make!
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Yay! The pdf of this pattern has just been updated, and the pesky errata is no longer necessary!
