Kids change quickly, but the joy of knitting for them never does.

In September 2018, I walked out of my local yarn shop with a sweater quantity of yarn and a familiar feeling. You know the one: that on-the-brink of starting something new, creative juices flowing, and endless possibilities feeling that only a maker can know. I didn’t have a pattern in mind, but I knew that this yarn would become something spec...

Is there a type of garment that you haven’t made yet? Perhaps you’ve never knitted (or worn!) a vest before. Or maybe you’ve already made a few and you’re looking for a pattern that feels fresh—something quick, transitional, and size-inclusive for the season ahead.

Some people are just knit-worthy. You know the ones—the people you can’t help but knit for. For me, that’s always been my husband’s cousin, someone I’ve watched grow from a shy preteen into a kind and confident woman. She’s always cherished every handmade gift, no matter how small, so when she announced she was expecting her first child, my fir...

Sometimes, the best things take time. And the Nydia Hat? Oh, it almost didn’t happen.

✨ Timeless elegance meets effortless customization.

After finishing three textured sweaters and a shawl back-to-back, I was looking for something small—what some knitters might call a “palette cleanser.” A friend who’s an avid sock knitter and always keeps a pair of socks on the needles suggested I make some. I loved the idea, especially as it had been several years since I knit socks. There’s a...

I didn’t grow up watching much TV, but my husband Cody comes from a Star Trek-loving family. The Next Generation (or TNG) was basically always playing at his dad’s house while Cody and I were dating. After we’d been married for a while, he wanted me to actually watch the show—like, really commit—and I figured, okay, why not.

You know those days that start with spilled coffee on your desk and broken eggs on the kitchen floor? The kind where you just need easy, repetitive knitting and maybe some puppy snuggles to reset? That’s exactly the kind of day I was having when I started working on Nydia.

I put on the TV show Gilmore Girls one afternoon in the summer of 2020 to keep my dog distracted from the sounds of fireworks. I’d never watched it before, and I was just looking for background noise. Instead, I immediately fell in love. With the characters. With the rapid-fire dialogue and the way everyone knew each other. With Stars Hollow.

Featuring a geometric chevron pattern that continues into the crown and culminates in the shape of a star, the Kestra hat is a fun and quick knit that combines the beauty of simple stranded colorwork and twisted ribbing.

Folded, twisted rib edgings and simple stranded colorwork together make the Kestra mitts doubly thick and extra warm—and a fun, addictive knit!

Pair them with the matching hat for added warmth and ...

Emberly is a hat originally designed in collaboration with Earl Grey Fiber Co. for the August 2020 installment of the Indie Untangled Where We Knit Yarn Club.

The Indira Mitts shine beautifully when either worn as a standalone set or as the perfect complement to the Indira shawl or cowl. Featuring lateral braids and the same unique double‑braided cable, simple lace, and fisherman’s rib as the shawl and cowl, these mitts are just as classy as they are warm and functional.

After I released the Indira shawl, I wore it everywhere—to work, knit nights, a winter wedding. Anywhere I wanted elegance without overthinking it. But in some settings, like around my office, I realized a smaller accessory would be more practical. I found myself wanting something I could throw on and that would stay put.

A yarn crawl. A dyer’s trunk show. A generous hand reaching back to pull out a second skein just for me.

It all started during a dream weekend in Victoria, British Columbia—live music, incredible food, and an afternoon spent wandering through Victoria’s oldest yarn store, the Beehive Wool Shop (because obviously). I was there with one of my favorite people in the world—the kind of person who makes every moment brighter, every adventure more fun, a...

It was September 2006, exactly one year after I had learned to knit. My husband Cody and I had been dating for six months, and he’d been watching my love of knitting grow. He also knew I’d never been to our local yarn store, so he took me there one afternoon for my very first visit. He patiently waited while I browsed and squished all the luxur...
