A Sock in Time is a collection of socks inspired by some of my favorite childhood memories. Each sock design comes from a memory spent with family members who had the greatest impact on my creative life. While some of them are no longer here, they are still with me in spirit. I hope you enjoy my walk down memory lane! A new sock design will be published each week in May 2025:

A Sock in Time II is a collection of socks inspired by some of my memories growing up as a teenager in the 1980s. Inspiration for each sock design comes from a moment in time during my high school years with memories of the decade of big hair, colorful clothes and listening to the Top 40 for the #1 song of the week to be announced by Casey Kasem. I hope you enjoy knitting my sock collection! A new sock design will be published each week in August 2026.

The Material Girl Socks is the first of four sock designs released in A Sock in Time II Collection! Each week for four weeks, in the month of August, I will be releasing a new sock design. Enjoy a 50% discount on a single sock design or purchase the e-book for a discounted price of $7.00.

The Tuacahn shawl was inspired by a special time in my life. My mom and I had a shared love of going to the theater. We went to many performances but the most memorable was at the Tuacahn Center of the Arts located in an outdoor amphitheater just outside St. George, Utah. Together we saw Aladdin, Tarzan and Peter Pan over the years with the ama...

Reminiscent of the lapping ocean waves flowing over the velvety sand, Shells by the Seashore, with its lace panels contrasted against a reverse stockinette background, is a top down sock with a heel flap construction that maintains the back leg lace pattern until the turn of the heel. The top of the foot continues with the lace panels while the...

Strolling the Pier is a toe up, short row heel sock. Its simple slip stitch cable and stockinette stitch background reminds me of my childhood vacations to Pismo Beach walking the pier while watching the fisherman catching fish, with the cool ocean breeze stinging my face in the early morning. The slip stitch cable starts after the toe increase...

One of my favorite childhood memories is our family camping trips. I remember the smells of the forest, the campfire and bacon frying up for breakfast. We were allowed to run around within a safe distance of the campsite, collecting rocks and skipping over to the creek to see if we could make the rocks jump across the body of water. This was th...

De Valk, with the large lace pattern resembling the blades of windmills, is named after the Molen de Valk, built in 1785 and is now a tower mill and museum located in Leiden, Netherlands. Andrea of Lakshmi’s Dreams kindly sent me her new single ply DK to design a shawl, and I was immediately taken with the beauty of this cloud-like yarn! De Val...

Tavira is a two-color crescent-shaped shawl featuring texture, lace and beads…my favorite combination! The beginning of the shawl uses seed stitch that is broken up with contrasting garter stripes which makes for relaxing knitting. Then double-sided lace panels are worked, separated by contrasting garter stripes, and the shawl ends with an eleg...

Originally published in Coffee House Knits, this pattern is now available as a single pattern.

The inspiration for these socks came from my love of all things Harry Potter. I imagined Mrs. Weasley magically knitting socks for her children before they left for Hogwarts to start off the school year! She would need to make quite a few pairs of them so the pattern needed to be easy to memorize yet entertaining. The Diagon Ally Socks begin wi...

An echo can be defined as a close parallel or repetition of an idea, style, or for the inspiration of this design, a stitch pattern. For Jeweled Echoes, I took a bold textured diamond brocade pattern and echoed the stitch pattern into two-colored slipped stitch mosaic diamond shapes that shifted into an airy diamond lace with beaded edging for ...

A delicate little nothing to knit at the end of the season, this crescent-shaped shawl has a lovely, lace edging that has extra crispness when knit in linen, silk, and hemp-blend “Daisy”.

Resembling the twists and turns of rocky hiking trails and flowing streams, the stitches of these thoroughly textured toe coverings may look like cables but they are actually an addicting lace pattern. With garter stitch, seed stitch, stockinette, and more, a startling range of tactile delights await the eager fiber fanatic that embarks on this...

The Divergence Mitts began with a skein of yarn that I bought from my friend, Vicki, the dyer behind Songbird Fibres. I adore birds, more so since my little yellow canary flew into my garage that cold winter of December 2014 hurt and cold, needing a place to stay. I named him Sunny, he recovered and has brought such joy to my life. When I found...

I had the honor of designing North Bend for A Yarn Less Raveled 6th Anniversary e-Book for their celebration weekend! North Bend is a quick knit that is a great project for first time cable knitters or a handmade gift! The hat can be knit with one skein of worsted weight yarn and comes in two sizes featuring a fitted or a slouch style. A two by...

Lady Igraine started with a vision when my dear friend, Andrea, of Lakshmi’s Dreams contacted me about having a King Arthur’s KAL in her group and wanted me to design a shawl using one of her new yarn lines. I adore reading about the medieval time period and especially the legend of King Arthur so this was meant to be! I chose the fingering wei...

I adored the stitch pattern for the Gearhart Hat so much that I had to design a matching cowl! The Gearhart Cowl is written for two sizes. The small size can be knit up in that single skein of worsted weight yarn in stash for a quick gift! The large size is long enough to wrap twice around the neck for a squishy, cozy cowl on those cold days. T...

The design for this hat started with a swatch that sat blocked on my counter top for many weeks. Every day I would pass it and think of different ways that I could change the stitch pattern to use for a hat. After knitting this hat design, I soon discovered that the inside looks just as great as the outside making it a reversible hat! The Gearh...

The Engelmann Oak cowl is named after my favorite hiking trail at Daley Ranch in Escondido, California. It is a big loop with one side providing a beautiful relaxing walk and the other side of the loop very strenous and rocky! This design is a big squishy lace cowl that is large enough to pull over your shoulders to wear as a capelet. In this d...

I named this shawl Astoria because this is where my knitting obsession began. Years ago, before life became so hectic with all of our responsibilities, I used to go on girls getaway trips with a group of my high school friends. In 2008, our trip took us to the beautiful Oregon coastline where we all decided to learn something new. One of my fri...

Braeburn is a long, shallow crescent shaped shawl that can be worn as a shawl draped casually around the shoulders or wrapped around the neck like a cozy scarf for bundling up on those windy frigid days. Knit mostly in garter stitch, the sawtooth lace border is knit first. Stitches are then picked up across the top and knit up using short row s...

The Padma shawl is a top down crescent shaped shawl designed to sit easily on the shoulders when there is a chill in the air.The center wedge panel features an elegant, simple flowery lace pattern with optional placed beads bordered by resting rows of stockinette. A knitted on leaf edging with optional placed beads completes the piece.

The Celta shawl has a simple presence with a bit of elegance to wear out on those cool nights. The design starts with a scalloped lace border at the bottom and optional placed beads. Stitches are then picked up across the long border, and the body of the shawl is worked by using decreases to achieve the triangular shape with optional strung and...

The German translation is now available and included in the purchase of this pattern.

I am a huge Potter fan! I also love anything owls. Owlery is a cowl knit in the round which begins with an eyelet bottom border, followed by the body section using simple lace pattern that can be easily memorized, and ends with a top eyelet border. If you look very closely, you just might find owls sitting in the Owlery waiting to post messages...

Wrapped in Daisies is a cowl designed with different stitch patterns to create lots of texture and an interesting knit. This design is knit in the round, starting with the bottom border and optional beading, then the body section with a textured daisy stitch, followed by the top border and the optional beading. I really enjoy knitting cowls tha...
