Knitting: Collar, Cowl
To celebrate Fabulous Yarns’ new Tivoli Bubble, and make the most of the cushy softness, I set to work on this knitted version of a super-cozy and stylish collar. Knitted in a couple of easy stitches and a change up in needle sizes, creates the perfect collar shape to add warmth, colour, and style to your Winter wardrobe.

Knitting: Beanie, Toque
I love bold and simple shapes, and this big, red heart sends out a sweet message of love! Worked in duplicate stitch, after the hat has been knitted, in soft and fluffy Belangor Angora, it’s a great contrast to the smooth alpaca of the main yarn.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
The simplest way to add a bit of texture to a piece of plain knitting is to include stripes of fancy yarn.

Cozy up in a warm cocoon of soft, bulky wool. The Dyne Poncho is a quick and easy knit - a great weekend project!

Named for Dita Von Teese, the Glamour Girl extrodinaire, this sexy sweater was designed using Malabrigo Caracol, which I described as, “looking like Rasta wearing fishnet stockings”, hence, its namesake!
Knitting: Cowl
I love Moebius Cowls! I usually wear mine wrapped twice around my neck for extra warmth, but they also look great hanging loosely around the neck, adding effortless chic to any out t. This recycled cashmere yarn feels wonderful and is great for showing off stitch patterns. I chose a simple textured stitch which works beautifully with this yarn.
Knitting: Beret, Tam, Beanie, Toque
Two hat styles in one pattern! Choose either a close-fitting Beanie, or vintage-style Beret. Both hats use just one skein of beautiful, recycled, cashmere yarn, and feature an easy to knit textured stitch, which shows off the yarn’s wonderful stitch definition. There will be enough yarn left over to top your hat with a fun Pompom, if you wish.
Knitting: Scarf
This scarf feels sooo luxurious! Knitted using the softest, fluffiest cashmere I have ever had the pleasure to meet!
Knitting: Cowl
What can I say about this yarn apart from, “Oooh!” Maybe that is how it got its name? When I held this yarn for the first time, I knew it had to be made into something that would be worn next to the skin, and where do we like to snuggle soft things? Our necks and cheeks! So a cowl it had to become! To get the maximum snuggly surface area out of...

The idea for this dress started at around 3:30am, 2 days before the start of TNNA in June 2013. I had wanted something LOUD to wear so I mentally scanned my stash to find the perfect yarn.

My collection was finished, as far as I was concerned. The photographer and model were already booked when I got a message from Judy at Fabulous Yarns.

The two of these yarns sitting together in this cozy cowl just makes my heart so happy! I love the way the colours almost match but not quite.

All that and it looks mighty fine around the neck too – you have to knit this RIGHT NOW...

Knitted top-down and in the round, these cabled legwarmers are both stylish and cozy. I love the way they look peeping out from the tops of my boots.
