Having been generously provided with a gorgeous bulky yarn from Nashua, I wanted to create something that was a little unexpected. Knitting lace in a bulky yarn? With cables? Why not? The resulting hat is both uniquely stylish and comfortably warm, and the whole thing knits up in only 34 rounds on large needles.

Being the undeniable girly girl that I am, I fell in love with Anzula’s Nebula yarn the instant I saw it. With just a hint of sparkle, I felt it would be perfect used as an entire garment.

Westport, a popular hangout for a group of people I would later know as “hipsters”, was a veritable treasure trove of zany characters. For the first time, I realized you could do more with a scarf than just throw it over yo...

I lived in Columbia for two years while Doc was completing his vascular surgery residency. Columbia is the location of Missouri’s largest state college.

Inspired by the delicate leaves and berries of the Huckleberry plant, I wanted to create a mirrored pair of fingerless mittens that would highlight the plant’s features.

This hat is knit from the bottom up and is intended to flatter “big” hair, curls, and dreads. This hat was seen on Fox’s Sleepy Hollow, season one, in Episode 11, “The Vessel”, and the season finale “The Indispensable Man/Bad Blood”. It was worn by Amandla Stenberg, who is most famous for playing Rue in The Hunger Games.
