  • New ebook: On My Way

    New patterns! This little collection features a hat, handwarmers, a shawl, and a shrug, all in lightweight yarn with an easy to memorize lace pattern. They’re all quick and intuitive to knit – I had a really nice time working up some accessories between bigger sweater projects. Each pattern is $5 on its own, or get the whole collection for just $10! Perfect for the transition to fall and (shhh) gift knitting.

    LINGER is a top-down, triangular shawl with asymmetrical patterning. One half of the shawl is all lace, the other half is stockinette with a narrow lace insert! Worked in 1 special skein of Wollmeise sock yarn.

    ANTICIPATE is a hat and handwarmer set, worked in 1 skein of Socks that Rock! The slouchy hat features alternating stockinette and lace sections. The little fingerless mitts use very little yarn and feature gusseted thumbs and offset lace.

    AWAIT is a simple side-to-side shrug in stretchy ribbing and lace. This easy knit is perfect for throwing over your tees, tanks, and dresses to take them into the first days of fall! Okay, it doesn’t use just one skein of yarn, but it’s close – I used 2 skeins of luscious madelinetosh pashmina for mine.

    new shawl design

    soon...

    I’m always in the wrong season! It feels like fall here the last couple days, but here I am getting ready to release a small collection of lacy accessories. These would be great for light fall layers and even (gasp) holiday gifts though! I’m also pretty excited about my current knitting, which is a new design for a cable-and-lace shawl in RED that does scream autumn.
