The idea of this piece was due to the issues I was having putting and keeping shawls on. I love to wear them, especially soft silk or cashmere ones but they slip and fall off and I become frustrated.

Hello. This hat reminds me of the sprouting pumpkin vines in the fall. Please enjoy this pattern and let me know if anything needs corrected. If you would like a larger hat, consider using a US 9 needle.

Dragonwell green tea, grown in the West Lake area of Hangzhou of China, is crafted entirely by hand and each leaf pressed flat to produce its distinctive shape. Inspired by the meticulous hand preparation of the renowned tea, this infinity cowl pattern pairs two skeins of handspun yarn that balance contrasting textures with coordinating colors.

This cowl is a great project for using expressive handspun yarns. You can mix and match your yarn textures and styles and also enjoy a finished end product. The idea for The Dixie was the need to fill the cold air gap in the zipper portion of my jacket that I was experiencing. The point of the cowl lays nicely behind the zipper and the cowl fol...

Thank you to my wonderful testers!

Easy to work cable fingerless (mitt) glove pattern. The yarn can be either dk or worsted weight yarn and come out nicely. Working in worsted weight will create a squishy warmer fabric, working in dk weight will give a more drape in the fabric.

This lace cowl is worked in the round. Yarn used is a heavy lace weight or a light fingering weight. The pattern is both charted and written and is easy to memorize. This is a great pattern for a beginner.
