For my son’s preschool Teacher Appreciation Week, I wanted to knit a few cowls and scarves for the ladies who manage his class. This is named “Miss Brittany” after one of the supporting teachers in his class. I couldn’t stop burying my face in this one when it was done and I just love the “Anthropologie” look of the piece. This gal is FAST and ...

For my son’s preschool Teacher Appreciation Week, I wanted to knit a few infinity scarves for the ladies who manage his class. This is the “Miss Maia,” named for the second-in-command teacher. A slip-stitch pattern worked in garter stitch was just what the doctor ordered and I’m in LOVE with the graphic look of this one. This fiery colorway fro...

Hedron is a garter and mosaic stitch shawl, knit flat and seamed to create a cowl. You can choose to continue the chart and make it a large shawl or keep it smaller for the cowl length! It’s got an edgy, geometric look for any gender to wear and makes accessorizing a snap. Wear the triangle in the front for a dramatic plunge of color OR turn it...

Spirula is a lovely lace crescent shawl that can be used as either a flat shawl or creatively seamed to create a beautiful, easy-to-wear cowl.

A coordinating ban...

Sometimes, you feel like a badass. Annnnnd sometimes you don’t. But you want to! Put on MotoMama, a cropped “motorcycle jacket,” and boldly take on the wild frontier that is your day. As with my pattern, Tristania, this was created with the style and functional needs of maternity and nursing mamas in mind, but it can be worn by anyone! I mean, ...

This sweater’s concept comes from two pop-culture mainstays: the “Harry Potter” book series and subsequent movie adaptations, and the long-running BBC television series, “Doctor Who.” Both have their own distinctive knit scarf designs and fans around the world love to sport copycat scarves in support of their favorite characters.

This scarf was designed as a gift for a friend of mine who is very active in progressive politics, usually on behalf of Democratic candidates. We took a trip to Nevada in 2008 for door-to-door campaign work and froze our butts off, so I really wish I could go back in time and pack this in my suitcase! In any event, it’s not too late to be warm ...

This one-skein-wonder was created to be hugged and to hold love notes. It is a plain stockinette shape with an optional cabled pocket on the front and stuffed with fiberfill like a pillow. The name “heartypants” is a very schmoopy nickname that my fiance and I exchange on a daily basis. Yeah, yeah…I know, barf.
