This bag came about after playing around with a pile of previously completed Granny Squares. I wanted to make a bag that was different from the patterns I could already find, while still maintaining a simple construction.

This is NOT your Granny’s granny square bag! Modern, with an ode to a very classic crochet pattern, made from 3 basic granny squares, you can make it any size you like by continuing to work rounds, but I have given instructions for the bag in 2

Like the rest of the world, our family absolutely fell in love with Wednesday!

Winterfell is part of my Game of Thrones inspired pattern collection (other patterns so far include Arya Wrap, Weirwood Wrap and Wolfswood Throw).

Sparrow is an easy to wear top, with extra wide ‘sleeves’. Knit in a summery cotton yarn, on oversized needles, this will give you that bit of coverage without being too warm.

Inspired by the gloomy, cold rooms of House Stark, and named for the fictional forest that lies North of Winterfell, the gorgeous ornate cables in the Wolfswood throw will transport you to another time.

This easy-breezy summer knit will be your go-to shawl for the hot summer months ahead.

Meant to mimic chain mail used in knight’s armor, this beautiful two-color brioche stitch perfectly emulates the intricacy and depth of the layers of metal linked together to form a protective barrier for the wearer. Once you get the rhythm of the 2 color brioche down, it becomes quite the relaxing knit.

I am often inspired by the knits that I see in period pieces. I find myself trying to figure out what methods were used to create these warm and beautiful pieces. Once I am drawn into a particular show or movie, I then find myself searching for inspiration in less obvious places as well.

Arya is a simple knit with a big wow factor.

There’s an IMPOSTER among us, but who could it be?

The Schädel Slouch is a unisex slouch hat (Toque) inspired by the Punisher Skull logo. As with my Phantom Skull Scarf pattern, this hat was designed as a Christmas gift for my husband, who loves the Punisher, and uses the likeness on his car and work gear.

Named for the area in Colorado where my family lives called the ‘Palmer Divide’ - these mittens are designed for life here, where it might be 60 degrees one day, snowing the next and everywhere in between from hour to hour in the fall and spring.

Inspired by the beautiful cables of a traditional Fisherman’s sweater, the Seafarer throw will keep you cozy and warm all winter long!

This winter, keep the whole family cozy and warm with handknit mukluks slipper socks using just one pattern!

The Dandelion is my youngest daughter’s favorite flower, and through her eyes I see them as wild and beautiful. Traditional cable knits evoke the same sense of wildness to me, and conjure up images of desolate moors or cold grey waters in far away places that remain untamed

Introducing Hydrotropism!

This pattern is written as ‘One size fits many’ but there are helpful hints for adjusting the coverage of the poncho

‘Rigge’ is Old English for ‘Ridge’, which perfectly describes this scarf. Ridge after ridge in varying sizes, created with only knit and purl stitches make up this bulky, yet scrumptiously squishable scarf. This is the perfect TV knit. Once you have the ridge pattern established, you just knit the knits and purl the purls until your scarf is th...

This year I was determined to come up with a Christmas gift for my husband that he would really love and want to wear – enter my ‘Phantom Skull’ (AKA ‘Punisher’) scarf. He loves the ‘Punisher’ and uses the likeness on much of his work equipment. I created this pattern as a subtle nod and homage to that character.

This hat pattern was inspired by Princess Poppy and Branch (okay, it was really inspired by my desire to not dye my daughter’s hair hot pink and gel it straight up so she could look like Poppy…), but you can really use this pattern to make any old kind of Troll hat you want! (I have visions of rainbow hair…)

Introducing my STARFLOWER SUPER SCARF pattern!!

I finally finished this pattern! It feels like it has been in the thinking/tinkering stages FOREVER.

The look of the herringbone stitch is so timeless and traditional, as well as suitable for men AND women! I wanted to make a cowl with a stitch that was reminiscent of a tweedy, beautiful Herringbone fabric, but not super complicated to make. I found a few patterns online, but they were all too difficult (even with years of knitting experience ...

Dress up your home this Fall and Winter with a beautiful but easy knitted pillow cover! The cable pattern that I chose is so simple to execute, you’ll want to make these for every room in your house :-)

Who doesn’t think of Fall when they see an Aran knit? Whip up these boot cuffs and add a touch of style and warmth to any outfit!

Made from the same super bulky yarn that I use for most of my ‘Katniss’ (Catching Fire) inspired cowls, these mittens are a great coordinating item. You can either use the same color yarn, or even mix it up (as shown in the first photo) for a great look.

This vest showcases the same style herringbone stitch that I used for my original version of the Katniss Cowl (inspired by the one seen on the character of ‘Katniss’ in Catching Fire)

The PANEM Wrap is probably my closest version of the cowl worn in ‘Catching Fire’. As much as I need/want to have my neck covered (hence my first two versions) I just couldn’t get away from the chunky, funky coolness of the ropes on the cowl worn by Katniss in the movie.

Pattern ERRATA - On page 7, the instructions following row 47 and row 48 are incorrect and should read to REPEAT ROWS 47-48

Pattern errata: Pattern says you can use size 17 straight or circular needles, but it has been brought to my attention that the straight will not work on the change-over from knitting in the round to back and forth due to the number of stitches.

I love the unexpected funky look of the elbow slit mittens that I found on one of the large yarn company websites. What I didn’t like is that so often those companies underestimate a knitters desire to challenge themselves, try something different or to want a finished product that doesn’t look like it was handmade.

I was inspired to write this pattern by a beautiful scarf that I found online. As someone who knits, I totally stand behind the cost of the online beauty (in the hundreds), but, as someone who knits, I often would just rather knit it myself and have the loveliness for a fraction of the cost :-)

Simple. Chic. Lovely.

Get ready for the cooler weather with my Nora cowl!

These mittens measure about 15” long with the cuff unrolled, and about 3” wide (measured flat) at the narrowest portion of the wrist where the smocked cuff pattern is.
