The Sullivan Family Collection features 4 shawl designs and 2 additional smaller accessory patterns that are inspired by special places for my family.

The Woods Family Collection features sock designs inspired by my Grandmother and her siblings. Grandma, Mimi (Winnie), and Cotty raised my mother and her brother and I always felt blessed to have three Grandmas. My Great Uncle Frank was killed in battle in WWII. They lived on Naylor Street.

The twisting cables of these fingerless gloves were inspired by the glaciers meandering out of the mountains in the Chugach National Forest in Alaska. This is a great unisex design and knit up quick in a worsted weight yarn.

The twisting cables of this hat design were inspired by the glaciers meandering out of the moun-tains in the Chugach National Forest in Alaska. This is a great unisex design that will look great worn either fitted or slightly slouchy.

“But in Your eyes there’s only grace now.” This particular line from Lauren Daigle’s song, How Can It Be inspired the name for these fingerless gloves. I’ve been choosing grace and reminding myself of that daily. The pattern is written for either sport or worsted weight yarns, and the worsted version is a quick gift knit too!

Knitting this hat healed my heart a bit. I just didn’t realize it at the time. I knit this hat over and over and over in 2016. It was probably the only thing I knit for months. The name came to me one night at bible study when my Pastor spoke about stewardship and that we needed to be good stewards of the gifts God had given us. I could knit. A...

Cobh (/kouv/) is a colorful seaport town on the south coast of County Cork, Ireland. Garter stitch and an easy-to-memorize 2-stitch lace repeat is the perfect landscape to play with color, so it seemed fitting to name this design after such a lovely town. Plus, the crescent shape is versatile to wear as a shawl, wrap, or bunched up as a scarf o...

I couldn’t help but name this infinity scarf after my home state. I cast on the design sitting by the Pacific Ocean, finished it watching the 2015 Golden State Warriors win the NBA Championships, and the lovely yarn is from a California-based company! But really, how does this design not make you want to walk along the beach or cheer for your f...

These fingerless gloves practically knit themselves with their intuitive cables. The pattern is written for either sport or worsted weight yarns, and the worsted version is a quick gift knit too! The cables pop in a variety of yarns and will look good on everyone in the family.

The quaint, picturesque town of Adare, Ireland inspired this slouchy, cabled-hat. The cables and lace make it the perfect hat for those brisk fall days or for walks to town for a spot of tea.

The cables and lace in these fingerless gloves are so chic! The pattern is written for either sport or worsted weight yarns, and the worsted version is a quick gift knit too!

This pattern will be offered for $4 thru July 4, 2019, in loving memory of my favorite Snowboarder model, RIP Ken 5/4/19. (regular price $6) Any other IrishGirlieKnits pattern sales profits will go to helping his 15-year old daughter, Lil Snowboarder on my blog. He was a single dad, and she was his whole world. A GoFundMe is also here.

One stop along the Ring of Kerry in Ireland is Kenmare, a coastal town that sits at the head of Kenmare Bay. Kenmare is also known for their lace tradition, and this hat features an easy-to-memorize 6-stitch lace pattern. Wouldn’t this hat be perfect to keep the chill away on a breezy stroll along the coast of Ireland?

Named after the sweet baby-girl-to-be, this sweater is the perfect, quick-knit baby gift. The easy-to-memorize 5-stitch pattern highlights both variegated and semisolid yarns too!

Delicate, yet chic. These fingerless gloves are so versatile. The pattern is written for either sport or worsted weight yarns, and the worsted version is a quick gift knit too! The simple lace shines in a variety of yarns and will look gorgeous in both variegated and solid colors.

The Grand Ole Opry. The Blue Bird Café. Honkytonks. Fried chicken. Barbeque. Fabulous antiques and flea markets. The city of Nashville represents that down-home, country feel just perfectly. I tried to capture that southern comfort in this design. Blue jeans, your favorite boots, and the perfect lace shawl to add a pop of color for a girls’ nig...

Last minute weekend plans for a trip to the snow? With an easy-to-memorize pattern and bulky yarn, this cowl will knit up in no time. It’s hard not to wish you were already wearing this cowl and enjoying the view atop snowy Mt. Alyeska, Alaska.

A trip to Ireland isn’t complete without taking in the spectacular beauty of the Ring of Kerry on the west coast of Ireland. The 179-km route includes scenic views of beaches, the lakes of Killarney, mystical castles, the town of Kenmare and their lace-making industry, and so much more. This infinity scarf captures a bit of that mystical, magic...

These fingerless gloves are so versatile. The pattern is written for either sport or worsted weight yarns, and the worsted version is a quick gift knit too! The cables pop in a variety of yarns and will look good on everyone in the family.

Something about this hat, with its cables and and seed stitch panel, reminds me of fall college football Saturdays. It looks good on both men and women, and the stockinette stitch makes it a quick knit too. It seemed fitting to do the photo shoot at my alma mater, the University of Notre Dame. Go Irish!

The color combinations for these socks are endless! Pick a plucky combination like the ones shown, or a more subdued version, or make them in just one fun color. Lowney is my paternal grandmother’s maiden name. Being a plucky woman herself, I know Nanny would have loved these.

The last stanza of Robert Frost’s Stopping By Woods on A Snowy Evening poem inspired this slouchy, warm hat. The featured cables and leaves panel reminds me of those snowy woods, dark and deep.*

Glacier Point provides a spectacular view of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, and Yosemite Falls. It towers 3,200 feet above the valley floor, and takes about an hour by car to drive up the winding roads from there. I was knitting on this design during my holiday at Yosemite, and glad I was the passenger during some of those steep, zig-zagging curve...

Twisty trees. Gnarled branches. The stitch pattern that travels down the center panel of these socks reminded me of just that. When you search “twisty trees” on the internet, you’ll find pictures of Corylus avellana ‘Contorta’. But don’t let the twists fool you, this is a deceptively easy pair of socks to knit!

Sometimes all you need is a bit of bling to dress up that outfit, lift your spirits or be a bit bold. This infinity scarf is just what you need for that bit of pop!

It wasn’t difficult to find inspiration on a recent trip to Yosemite National Park. But when this gorgeous, naturally dyed yarn arrived from A Verb for Keeping Warm, the design process was almost too easy. Snow plants, unique red flowering plants that can be found in Yosemite, grow in late spring, as the snow melts, and present a dramatic contr...

Star light, star bright. First star I see tonight. I wish I may. I wish I might. Have this wish I wish tonight.

This is the 2nd pattern in the e-book, The Sullivan Family Collection.

A lake hidden in the mountains. Clear blue waters amidst redwoods and pine trees. Summers of my childhood were spent here, and when I returned this year I was inspired. The perfect blue colorway is highlighted in the simplicity of the garter stitch body, while the pinecones are captured in the lace edging.

This pattern is also a BONUS accessory pattern for The Woods Family Collection. If you have already purchased this collection the pattern should be updated in your ravelry library.

These socks feature all of my favorite things about knitting sock patterns: an easily-memorized pattern, a lovely texture that lends itself to either semi-solid or variegated colors, and a pattern that is unisex and perfect for the entire family. I can’t help but envision a family of coordinating socks warming by the cabin’s fireplace.

Fiar, the Gaelic word for slant or crooked, seemed like the perfect name for this infinity scarf. The zigzags created by the chevron pattern twist, turn, and slant, creating lovely lines of color. Have fun with this scarf by choosing different colors or using up your leftovers!

Spring is in the air here, as evidenced by these blooming blossoms at my local park, Holbrook Palmer Park. This shawlette can be worn a variety of ways. Wrapped as a scarf when there is a bit of a chill, or draped as a lovely shawl as the weather turns warmer.

Pattern designed originally for Woolgirl’s Witch’s Guard from The Wizard of Oz Kit.

Bláthnat (pronounced BLAW-nit) means “little flower” in Gaelic. These floral socks just burst with joy in anticipation of spring!

My great-aunt Mimi described her brother, my great-uncle Frank, as such a caring, friendly guy. They grew up during the Depression, and she says he always brought home a friend when he was on leave. When their mother would wonder how she would feed an extra, “Frankie” would say, “Ah mom. Give him mine.”

When my Great Aunt Mimi, who was like a grandmother to me, passed away, I just couldn’t bring myself to knit. I didn’t have the energy to pick up my needles, yet I so wanted to knit.

I’ve been hooked on making wee baby socks inspired by their matching adult socks for quite some time. Here the cable pattern from the Uncle Frank socks makes for a perfect unisex baby gift!

For those chilly evening walks along the beach, this infinity scarf is the perfect summer accessory. Knit in either a fingering or worsted weight yarn, you can decide just how much warmth you want!

Sock camp brings out all sorts of silliness, and learning too, but really, this sock knitting community is pretty fabulous and fun. At camp this year, the Honey Badger seemed to become our impromptu mascot. When it came time to name this pattern, I just couldn’t resist naming it after the Honey Badger, the most fearless animal in all of the ani...

Evening walks along the beach. Unexpected breezes at the picnic. Chilly, air-conditioned movie theaters. Summer wind….a light, airy, infinity scarf that is the perfect accessory for your favorite summertime activity.

I suggest knitting a few so you always have a baby gift on hand!

Now available! Originally designed for Sunshine Yarns! Pattern is for both a sport weight and fingering weight sock pattern.

My mom, Maryanne. Loving, beautiful, strong, joyful, elegant. With these socks, I tried to capture what I love about my mother, from the beautiful lace, to the strong, elegant lines that form as the lace transitions to the toes. Perfectly paired with Miss Babs’ Windsor Handpainted-Sock Yarn, in a colorway aptly named Forever.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,

I’ve worked with children with autism for the past 20 years, and each child I work with is a unique individual. These socks attempt to capture that. The pattern features four different design options for the top of the foot, allowing you to create your own individualized socks.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?

Either an infinity scarf or a cowl, both are perfect for a cozy autumn stroll across the Pont Neuf bridge along the River Seine in Paris.

Springtime in Paris! This lightweight, lace scarf is the perfect thing to wear as you stroll Le Petit Pont or enjoy lunch at the cafe.

The pattern features an easy 8-stitch repeat that features lace only on the right side rows, making this pattern very easy to adj...

Babies, babies, babies! When faced with at least six babies arriving in the next few months, I knew I needed to knit something fast! That’s when I was inspired to make a sweet, wee version of my Cotty socks, which were named after my great-aunt Katherine. The Cotty socks have been referred to as “potato chip socks” as in you can’t knit just one...

Chateau, the colorway name, made me think of lazy days on the porch of a beautiful southern home, with columns similar to those of Tara, sipping sweet tea.

Named after my grandma, Dotty. The dot pattern gradually, subtlely, lengthens down the sock. Simple, but elegant. My grandma.

Spring is here and the flowers are blooming. As is this sock. Both the color and the pattern just BURST!

Summer berries, ripe for picking. As soon as I saw this stitch pattern, I was inspired. The berries travel down the sock on their brambles. Then, when you have colorways with names such as Mochaberry and Ripe for Pickin’, well, enough said.

This pattern works well with both semi-solid and variegated yarns! Pattern has two sizes, one written for a sport weight yarn and the other for a fingering weight yarn. The sock fits an average women’s size/medium. Sock pattern is written cuff-down, but can be easily modified for toe-up.

Snowboarder’s annual Christmas gift is a hat designed by me for when he hits the slopes. Requirements….it needs to have earflaps and look cool! Beyond cool! This year I didn’t even check with him on the design. I just did it! Freestyle. And then I made one for my nephew. And then my sister. Freestyle works for everyone, don’t you think?!

One would think the cable pattern reminded me of the ripples in a puddle. Or that this scarf would be perfect for a rainy day. But no. My dad asked for a “cabley” scarf for when he walks the doggies at night. And Puddles is one of those doggies.

This stitch pattern works great with handdyed yarns! Very easy to change the stitch count or the type of yarn! A great one skein scarf!
