Hope is the thing with feathers

Get ready for cool, fall weather in this ode to the cute cardigans worn by the character of Bernadette in The Big Bang Theory. Bernie is a famously short, sweet, and sassy microbiologist who turned out to be the perfect foil for Howard Wolowitz.

Because you’re a bluejean baby.

Because omgwtf, 2020??

The Mystery continues with a cure for your holiday hangover.

Because who wouldn’t want a mushroom fairy garden on their head??

The latest installment in the Cardigans of the Galaxy series, this one is dedicated to the character Drax. This guy has to have a cardigan because you just can’t design a pullover for someone who says that nothing goes over his head (His reflexes are too fast. He would catch it…).

See the Worsted version here.

A companion piece to the fingering weight version.

Because even a Snow Queen needs a little vacation.

Asymmetric patterns emerging from symmetrical forces.

A quick project that gives you some experience with nupps without being overwhelmed. The cable and nupp motif graces only one side of the hat, so you’re not always cabling or nupp-ing. There’s even a video tutorial (linked in the pattern) to walk you through working the nupps with a crochet hook.

She Persisted.

A quick-to-knit hat with a fun snowball pattern and optional pom pom! The pattern’s 3-st cable is only worked every 4th round, making it a pretty easy knit. Since the cable is a bit uncommon, I’ve created a video tutorial for it as well (also linked in the pattern).

Worked mostly in the round, Michelle My Belle is a cozy pullover worthy of chilly days in the office or cuddling on the couch.

Dont believe me? Just SWATCH

Long floats? No worries. This cute snowflake hat pattern shows you a different way to handle them.

The lace pattern is both charted and written out.

Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose…

Comfort and ease with a modern edge. Faux mini-cables grace the front of the pullover while stockinette stitch on the sleeves and back keep the knitting easy. A split hem that’s lower in the back both slims and keeps you covered, and the relaxed fit gives you a casual feel without being too oversized.

A Tangram is a type of puzzle made of flat shapes that the player puts together to create new shapes and pictures. The Tangram Shawl uses 3 triangles to form a seamless, trapezoid-shaped wrap that is a bit of a puzzle to tell which direction(s) it was knit from.

An edgy shawl for exploring your world in style. It’s a jungle out there.

A shawl with sleeves. This design was born of a need to keep comfortable in an AC’d restaurant yet still have the flexibility to dine without the shawl falling off my shoulders.

Such was the power of the beauty inside her that Winter turned to Spring in her path, and flowers grew in her footsteps ~ Edward Monkton

Oh, won’t you say we’ll put on the day,

The Story

A part of the Dash It All! collection, the Dash Away mittens are worked in a heavy worsted weight yarn to keep your hands warm all winter.

A part of the Dash It All! collection, this hat pattern includes 2 sizes, and can be worked in an aran weight yarn for a thicker hat, or in a worsted weight for a slightly lighter fabric.

A part of the Dash It All! collection, the Mad Dash cowl is worked in the round with a cozy fingering weight yarn in a dashed, diagonal scallop stitch pattern.

Buttons. They call to us as much as pretty skeins of yarn. We can’t resist their siren song, we stash them…and then can’t figure out what to use them for. Button Street was born of a need to use a set of beautiful buttons that wanted to come out to play. Set on a canvas of stockinette stitch in a hand dyed semi-solid yarn, the buttons take cent...

Textured and top-down! This pullover is the final installment in my Quabbin Series and is dedicated to the former town of Enfield, Massachusetts.

This quick hat is designed to be standard fare for sports fans of all stripes and uniforms.

Hat Like a Wheel is a classic cabled hat worked in the round from the bottom-up. The ribbing flows into the cables for the body of the hat, and is decreased in pattern to the crown.

Tell all the truth

The Details

The way you wear your hat,

A “Funicular” is a rail car that is run by cables up an inclined plane, usually a mountain side.

A “Soubrette” is a vocal and character “type” in musical theater and light opera. The Soubrette’s voice is high and light yet powerful enough to be heard over an orchestra without amplification; her character is usually in a supporting role, often adding a bit of comedy and sass to the plot. A complimentary role that packs a lot of punch.

Hit me with your best shot, Baby.

Inspired by my Daydream Believer design, Sleepy Jean is worked from the shoulders-down, with simultaneous set-in sleeves that are worked with the upper bodice in a technique originally described by Barbara Walker (photo tutorial included). The button plackets are worked along with the bodice as well, and allow you to place as many or as few but...

Small typo: The line near the bottom of page 3 should read:

Verve: (noun) the spirit and enthusiasm animating artistic composition or performance. e.g. She sings with skill and verve.

Worked seamlessly from the Top-Down and almost entirely in the round, the set-in sleeves of the pullover are created simultaneously with the upper bodice in a technique originally described by Barbara Walker (a photo tutorial is included in the pattern). Mini faux-cables accent the cowl neck and hem, and run along the length of the set-in sleev...

Feste is a stranded colorwork hat inspired by the brocade fabrics of the Elizabethan Period as well as a costume worn by actor Marc Rylance in his performance in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.

She’s just a Girl, and she’s on Fire“

Twelfth Knit is a doubly-thick cowl inspired by the brocade patterns of the Elizabethan Period and from a costume worn by actor Marc Rylance in his performance in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.

Worked from the shoulders-down, the set-in sleeves of the cardigan are created simultaneously with the upper bodice in a technique originally described by Barbara Walker. Make it in a light sportweight yarn for a light, drapey cardi, or in a true dk weight for a more substantial, cozy jacket.

ObLaDi, ObLaDa

With 2 options for necklines, and 3 options for sleeve lengths, Steel Rail is worked seamlessly from the shoulders-down. The pullover’s set-in sleeves are created simultaneously with the upper bodice in a technique originally described by Barbara Walker (no seaming!).

This pattern is the fingeringweight version of the Prescott DK cardigan. I’ve set up a promotion (no code needed!) that takes $4 off the cost of the second pattern if you buy the other (you don’t have to buy both at the same time, either, so past purchases do count)

Valine is an essential amino acid needed in the diet in order for the body to build proteins. The Valine Pullover is designed to serve as essential to the wardrobe with its clean lines, set-in ¾ sleeves, and a not-too-deep V-neck. There are two lace-inset options included in the pattern (your choice of a leaf motif or a mesh lace diamond motif).

Peaceful Easy Feeling is a seamless pullover worked from the top-down with raglan sleeves. The neckline trim, cuffs, and hem are worked in a contrasting color while bodice shaping is accomplished along princess “seams” to allow for flexibility in modifying the fit. An Estonian Braid separates the lace trim from the stockinette bodice.

A great project for giving stranded knitting a try (no worries about fit!), the Godric Cowl requires approximately 410 yards of a main color (MC) and 100 yards each of three contrasting colorways (CC). Use a full skein of the main color, and any partial skeins of yarn you may have hanging around for the contrasting colors.

The brim of Cloche Enough for Jazz is worked flat in an eyelet-garter stitch and is shaped with a series of increases. The brim is then folded over onto itself to form an over-lapping circle along the non-increased edge, stitches are picked up, and the crown of the hat is worked in stst in the round.

How do you measure a year?

Oh what can it mean to a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?

Christopher Walken & Will Farrell may not have been wearing handknits during the famous (infamous?) Cow bell skit on SNL, but they would totally rock this cowl :)

Sweet Caroline (ba ba ba!)

Pronounced “eye-oh-LANTH-ee”. Iolanthe was banished from fairydom for marrying a mortal. Thankfully, she took some really great handknits with her in exile:)

The Posy Cowl is a fun project that makes use of a modified Japanese stitch pattern that involves wrapping several stitches with the yarn before knitting them. Worked in the round, the series of wraps creates a pattern that looks like small flowers (posies) on a lattice with an almost woven effect.
