Spending a lot of time outdoors lends itself to an appreciation of the Seasons and I’m always using wool and handmade items to stay warm while I’m outside.

Holiday Ornaments are so fun to make, especially when they are customizable!

Inspired by running-shoe treads, these sparkly socks will get you going! Ice Mom sparkly fingering was used for the model,

I have always loved gansey sweaters and I wanted to create a large shawl that shared some of the same textures/design features. Though it is a larger project, the individual sections go rather quickly.

This is a fun cozy cabled hat perfect for Fall and Winter outings. The toddler-Child size is knit using worsted weight and a US 7 needle while the other sizes are knit using heavy worsted/Aran weight and a US 8 needle.

There is a lot of inspiration to be found during my daily outings and I wanted a nice medium-weight hat to wear during the Spring and Autumn months.

I wanted to make a pair of fingerless mitts using the Snape’s Stockings stitch pattern. These were knit a while ago and I use them all the time!

My daughter kept stealing my fingerless mitts so I knit her a pair that she could wear during her soccer practices and games and things. Since her hands are my size, now I can steal her pair ;)

These mitts are perfect for those chilly Autumn and Winter days and features a thumb gusset and a cable panel running along the top of the mitt.

Colder weather is fast approaching and I wanted to create a squishy cozy pair of socks to put on during those bitterly cold nights spent by the fire.

This is the first of 4 patterns inspired by the 4 American Houses as described by JK Rowling.

I have wanted to make a pair of mitts using the Hermione’s Everyday Sock Pattern for quite a while now.

This is a free pattern modeled after the Gamekeeper Wrap pattern. I wanted something a little smaller and perhaps a little more manageable for daily use.

This is a miniature version of my Hermione’s Everyday Socks - I created this mini sock pattern for the Stockinette Zombie 2015 Retreat :)

This is an all-over cabled arm warmer pattern that will fit a Women’s Medium as written. To alter the size, simply use thicker or thinner yarns and larger or smaller needles - though note, your overall yardage will vary.

This pattern was inspired by the pair worn by Claire in the Outlander Series. I loved how they looked simple but with subtle details.

This cowl was knit using Cascade 220 Superwash. The sample cowl used 125 yds of white yarn, and approximately 25 yds each of the 4 other contrast colors.

I had one skein of Lorna’s Laces and thought it would be a nice soft scarflette that can go around one’s neck and tuck neatly under their jacket in the cold weather without being too bulky or cumbersome.

The inspiration behind this project is Hagrid from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Series. I imagined Hagrid knitting himself a scarf which would be a wrap for a normal muggle.

This pattern is inspired by the mischievous leprechauns. Currently, this pattern is part of my Fantastical Creatures - Part 1 Club (hence the price). When the Club is finished, the price will be lowered and available to the general public via my Ravelry Store.

I had a lot of worsted weight scraps and ended up using them all to create a little pot with handles. Approximately 95 yds of natural colored yarn and the remainder of the yarn used were various scraps.

Originally I decided to crochet these hanging pot holders to add a bit of color to my cloaked-in-shade fence/backyard area. People showed some interest in my little hangers though and asked for the pattern so here it is.

Modeled after those sandwich baggies we all remember from days past, this is a highly customizable project that can be used for a variety of purposes; knit a larger size and use it to wrap a Holiday package or use it for a pajama bag, knit a medium size and use it as a safe place to carry a book or pencil and paper or knit a smaller size and cr...

This pattern contains instructions for 2 different doll blankets along with ideas for customizing the pattern to create your own doll blankets. One sample blanket was knit using approximately 90 yds of Aran weight yarn on a US 10 needle and the other was knit using approximately 250 yds of Worsted weight yarn on a US 9 needle.

The idea for this ornament pattern came from spending time at the Indianola Balloon Festival.

When the cold weather hits, nothing warms a family like a pair of nice thick socks. This pattern contains instructions for knitting a top-down sock ranging in size from a Child’s Small to a Man’s with a bit of cabling and rib for a snug fit.

This is the Sock Knitters Anonymous Group’s November 2012 Mystery Sock :D

Inspired by the Rabbiteye Blueberry, these socks feature rows of cables with an alternating lace section. I would say the fit of the sample socks is closest to a Women’s Medium but a Larger size could be made easily by using a thicker weight yarn and/or using a US 2 needle.

This cowl pattern is modifiable in that there is a single lace pattern that can be repeated as many times as a person desires and one can CO any number of sts to accommodate their desired width.

This pattern was originally included in the Dreaming Pickle Pot’s There and Back Again Club 2012 - inspired by the Lord of the Rings. The pattern is now available to the general public.

This is a whimsical take on the traditional brown paper bag often used for sack lunches. This can be used as a lunch sack or a project bag. It is also a great way to show off that special handspun yarn and/or fabric!

A structural-looking sock for children and adults.

A snug-fitting cabled cowl to keep one warm and cozy. Smaller sizes (Child L/Adult SM) requires Worsted Weight and a US 8 needle. Adult L sizes require Aran weight and a US 9.

This pattern features a customizable pair of legwarmers and wristwarmers for children and adults alike with an optional area for foliage-inspired colorwork. The varying sizes are constructed by using thinner yarn and lighter needles for the smaller sizes.

A lovely pattern to warm your hands as the weather turns a bit colder. This pattern is part of my Autumn-inspired ebook that will be available shortly for $16.

Hermione, as described in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Series, is a rather smart and practical heroine. While she can dress up with the best of them, these socks remind me of something she might wear while practicing charms or transfiguration or reading up on Arithromancy in the Gryffindor Common Room.

This hat was inspired by one I wore in the 1980’s. The pattern is written for an adult (S, M, L) but also includes instructions for modifying it to fit anyone and everyone regardless of size.

I have always loved the textures found within many a fisherman’s sweater and/or mitten pattern. For these mittens, I modified a stitch pattern slightly so it fit my mitten/gauge needs, so this isn’t necessarily a pattern written by me, but more of how I put together this particular pair of mittens.

My inspiration for this sock “pattern” came from both the particular colorway used (Fresh From the Cauldron’s Superwash Sock in the Burrow Colorway) and from the Weasley Family itself from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Series. I want to note that the stitch pattern used throughout this sock has been used in several other projects and I am not, in...

I thought it was time that the Dursley Family was honored with a pair of socks just for them. I had visions of Petunia Dursley sitting close to a window with her feet (beautifully adorned in hand knit socks of course) propped up listening in on her neighbors.
