The simple pattern yields gentle ripples that flow from end to end. With a larger needle and yarn that has a soft halo, you can coax a Small shawl out of only 600 yards of sport weight yarn. With smoother yarns, and smaller needles, 1600 yards yields a larger shawl.

These wrist warmers combine simple cables with simple lace techniques to form the subtle shapes of sheaves of grain blowing in the prairie breezes. Their slightly offset gusseted thumb, and hidden ribbed wrist, improves their fit, keeping them from shifting around while you’re turning the pages of your book or typing your own latest novel.

Simple sock with decorative cuff top.

These fingerless mitts give full movement to your thumbs with easy gussets. The hand ends at the knuckles (leaving you free to wear other gloves underneath if it’s really cold.

This Seaman’s Scarf cuddles up to your neck, then broadens out to keep your throat warm and show off it’s style.

This cabled leg warmer uses two-color stranded knitting to allow the cables to really pop. It has increases buried in the cable structure, and just a little bit of corrugated ribbing at the top.

This is a fairly simple slouch hat with a few twists to keep things interesting. While the orignal was done with 2 skeins of Skacel Simply Cria by Hikoo (95 yds/25 grams; 100% super baby alpaca), testers used other yarns with great success. Note, I had only 8” of yarn left when I finished the original -- before weaving in the end. I do not reco...

2017 Started in turmoil. Women marched on Washington D.C. in the millions - all wearing a simple hat - the “Pussy Hat”. I designed my own, because I really didn’t like the standard way that included side seams. I also wanted to accent to ears a bit.

This colorful slouch hat was designed to benefit research on Sjogrens Syndrome. 50% of the proceeds from the sale of this pattern will be donated to Sjogrens Syndrome Research for the first year after publication. Thereafter, 25% will go to SSR.

The original mitts used 100 yards of the main color and 40 yards of the contrast color. They’re perfect for leftovers.

Adrienne Augard (who wore opera gloves with panache) might well have donned these lacy gauntlets. Though they cover your arms to the elbow, their linen/acrylic blend keeps them from being too hot for late summer or early fall. They also work well in a more wool oriented yarn – if chill chasing is in order.

I designed this hat at the request of a friend of mine whose co-worker had been diagnosed with leukemia.

This lovely lace cowl is knit back and forth following a provisional cast on, and then kitchenered closed. The dayflower lace pattern has been mirrored, and can be adapted to a wider cowl with ease.

This easy scarf, designed by Elizabeth Ruby for Fiber Dancer Designs,

This lacy cowl has a slightly asymmetrical pattern, starting from unequal scallops along the bottom edge. Though neither the charts nor written instructions do not actually ask for them, beads can be successfully introduced for an even more elegant cowl.

I designed this particular cowl for my mother. It’s a quick knit, using only one ball of yarn, and will either keep you toasty warm, or simply provide an elegant alternative to turtleneck’s indoors depending on your fiber choice.

So many lovely yarns yield suggestions of stripes -- and those with long color repeats aren’t subtle about it. This pattern allows you to enjoy stripes that run along your wrist and out toward your fingers.

This Intermediate level design was inspired by Miriam Feltons’ Icarus. It is closer to a faroese shape than her triangle, and has many layers of feathered ends, and uses beads! This shawl works well at a variety of gauges, on a variety of yarns… and can be successfully knit in lace-weight, light fingering, fingering, or even light sport-weight ...

Finished Size: 48” x 4” (7” stretched).

This pattern uses Cat Bordhi’s Moebius Cast On

This pattern spritely cloche deftly hides many of the decreases inside cables. It’s not as tricky as it sounds.

I designed this scarf for the OFA Red Scarf Project in conjunction with Donna Druchunas’ blogtour for Ethnic Knitting Discovery. Fifty percent of the proceeds from this scarf will be donated to OFA to support their wonderful work on behalf of foster children in college.

The yarn is intentionally knit a bit loosely. Pattern includes instructions for both a ruffled and non-ruffled edge. The ruffled edge takes another 3/4 skein of yarn.

This toe up sock design sprung from Cat Bordhi’s new sock architectures and Just Our Yarn’s lovely sock yarn.

Use a high halo DK weight yarn, or a light worted yarn. (Also tested in Lion Brand Imagine).
