I love decorating for the holidays, and the Trim the Tree Cowl was inspired by my love of big, bright, colorful string lights. This mobius cowl pattern features a staggered light motif that uses an alternating background meant to mimic the layers of a tree.

This beanie is a companion piece to my Under the Ivy Cowl, which was inspired by old, forgotten gardens with overgrown vines and vintage pottery. Working on these patterns immediately transported me back to when I was a young girl poring over the pages of The Secret Garden, just hoping I could stumble upon a secret garden of my own. The more ne...

The Holiday Frost beanie uses the simple combination of knits and purls to create a subtly textured chevron pattern. With such a bulky yarn, this pattern knits up incredibly fast, and is a perfect holiday gift knit.

…she was inside the wonderful garden and she could come through the door under the ivy any time and she felt as if she had found a world all her own.

The Flocking Good Time Socks were inspired by Flock Fiber Festival, an annual gathering held in Seattle to celebrate all things fiber-related. I attended last year’s inaugural event and enjoyed it so much that I designed a motif to express my own love for all things Flock!

The Siroc Sock design came about as a way to bust my sock stash, especially my leftover advent self-striping sock yarn from years past. I wanted a motif that would not only play nicely with the horizontal striping, but would also add a bit of vertical detailing for visual interest. This is achieved with simple 1/2 left and right cross cables th...

The Prismatic Reflection Socks are inspired by my sweater design of the same name (currently in testing!). These socks feature a slipped cable diamond motif that gives the appearance of a three-dimensional argyle pattern. The best thing about these cables is that they’re much simpler than they look, and they only ever require cabling two stitch...

Prismatic Reflection is a top down raglan sweater with a decorative slipped cabled diamond motif on the front, back, and sleeves. The raglan increases are slipped to mimic the motif. This sweater also features a folded down collar that is knit together at the join for extra reinforcement. Short rows are added at the back neck to shape the neckl...

The Misty Pines Mitts were designed to accompany the Misty Pines Beanie, a design which was inspired by those crisp fall afternoon hikes where you can barely make out the trees for all the fog. As the fog clears, you start to see how dense the forest really is, and the combination of trees and mist form beautiful patterns in the distance.

The Harborview beanie uses the simple combination of knits and purls to create a subtly textured pattern. This stitch pattern can be played up or down depending on your yarn fiber and color choices. For example, a fuzzy alpaca yarn will make the texture much harder to detect, but a smooth tonal superwash yarn might allow the purl bumps to reall...

The Wildflower Bloom Socks were inspired by the flower garden in my own backyard, with its vibrant colors and fun shapes. I designed these socks to feel like I could walk through my garden any time of year, rain or shine.

The Wildflower Bloom Cowl was inspired by the flower garden in my own backyard. The vibrant colors and organic shapes were calling to me, and I knew I needed to knit something that reflected that feeling. Since this pattern doesn’t use much yarn, I opted for a bit of cashmere for the ultimate cozy cowl. Any yarn in a similar weight can work her...

The Frost & Flurry shawl was inspired by those quiet winter mornings watching the snow fall, all while wrapped up warm and cozy indoors. With the springy softness of baby alpaca and fuzzy halo of brushed suri, this shawl has a lovely drape and is a dream to wear. Alpaca is the recommended fiber to achieve the drape shown (after blocking).
