Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Windswept moors, passion, loss, revenge, and the odd ghost or two: that’s more than enough inspiration for a shawl. This shawl is a tribute to Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights.

Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
Intelligent, cool, and daring: Mina Harker is the little recognized MVP of Dracula. I’m talking about the book Dracula—not the countless film adaptations, most of which have reduced Mina to a pathetic victim. Without Mina, all of Van Helsing’s efforts to destroy Dracula would have come to nothing. This sock is designed to honor her. It is a sam...

The cowl features some shaping to allow it t...

Knitting: Scarf
Inspired by rippling waters and piers, Harbor View combines classic and modern elements to make a design that is interesting to knit and to wear. Best of all, it is even reversible!

Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
This is a very simple garter rib mitt. It is worked flat and seamed afterwards. You choose where you wish the thumb opening to be and how big an opening you want. It is very stretchy. There is no thumb gusset. The S/M will fit most people, but people with larger hands may appreciate the extra stitches of the L/XL.

The inspiration for these socks came from a lovely sweater that I purchased. I loved the pattern stitch and wanted to incorporate it into socks--but to make it more wearable, and prettier--I designed a rib that incorporated the stitch pattern. My husband says it looks like a flock of Little Birds.
