Errata (fixed in document v2.)

Seedeaters are little songbirds that flock together and feed on…well…seeds. The slip stitches in this hat, with their colorful purl bumps that stand out from a Stockinette background, look like they could be mistaken for snacks by one of these adorable birds.

I’ve always marveled at the drawings by the 19th century naturalist, biologist and artist Ernst Haeckel who illustrated, in gorgeous detail, hundreds of animals and sea creatures.

Mix-and-match the layers of these swap-able fingerless mitts. Make any number of liner gloves and outer gloves for more and more options!

Mothwings is a sweeping shawl that blends five colorways in a fade that radiates in several directions. An overall, simple slip-and-Garter pattern crosses the fade, creating a deeply textured, woven appearance. Mothwings is big, light and lovely, and would look awesome in either dramatic or ethereal colors.

The moment I laid eyes on the golden green that Dragonfly Fibers dyed for this piece, I was transported to a dappled summer forest. The highlights within this lush green look just like shifting light among evergreens and brush. The contrasting pink made me think instantly of the wildflowers that grow near my home in the Pacific NW.

As a little girl, I believed the moon followed us on our long car trips to the Jersey shore. In a world without seat belts, I’d lay in the back window of the station wagon and look up in wonder, the moon gliding overhead.

This light and lovely cowl is a breath of fresh air and a chance to use your minis, scraps, gradient kits or color-changing yarns!

The Lunar Phase Mkal has ended, but you can still make your own amazing shawl.

Dogtooth is an ancient word for the houndstooth design that this slip stitch pattern somewhat resembles. This Aran weight wool knits up quickly and provides squishy warmth, and The Dye Project’s colors are full of beautiful shadows and light.

Pattern updated 3/9/17. Be sure you are using the latest version, which has that date in the pdf title.

Hyperspanner is a long crescent created completely in Garter Stitch that allows two gorgeous yarns to play off of each other and shine. Hyperspanner is a name for a Star Trek tool that sounds much more majestic than “wrench” and seems to be apt for a shawl that consists of a large span of wild colors.

Power Lines is designed to highlight those small leftovers or oddballs of gorgeous fingering weight yarn you may have around.

A quick knit and surprisingly warm! These mitts are worked in the round in a heavy fingering weight yarn, in a textured pattern that works well for tonal colorways. A bit of color, in a lighter weight, is added to complete the bind-off. Size can be adjusted easily by adding multiples of four stitches.

Named after a character in my novel, Beautiful Wreck, a time travel Viking love story. It comes out in February 2014! Betta is the 6th & final shawl in the Viking Love Song series.

simple, one-page pattern

A festive, silly table runner - super fun to knit in color changing yarns. It looked to me like a candy-land road or an elf-sized red carpet. Knit as long or short as you like, based on your target table.

I designed these little bracelets for a friend who edited my novel. After trying many, many yarns, gauges and cable combinations, this simple, chunky pair turned out to be just right. The little whale you see on my wrist is a symbol from my book and reminds me of what Beverly has helped me achieve.

Double Garter stitch is a classic stitch pattern that gives a 3-D pleated look. Worked sideways, the shawl is a big crescent. It incorporates Double Garter to give a rich texture to the sweeping edge.

Inspired by research for my novel Beautiful Wreck, a time travel Viking love story.

This squishy little square uses slip stitches to create a radiating design. When sewn together as a blanket, the slips create a diamond motif that stands out from the fabric and reminds me of the punched tin ceiling tiles in my grandmother’s kitchen.

Simplicity and air! This is a meditative knit that celebrates beautiful yarn and relaxing, easy knitting.

Gauge is important! The shawl is designed to be petite - just 13”/33 cm down the back. If your gauge is too tight, you may end up with a beautiful kerchief.

Simple garter pattern shifts through combinations of 5 colors, joining an endless loop of color progression.

Gauge should be 22 stitches per four inches. It is printed as 38 in the pattern. Exact gauge is not critical.

This shawl was previously part of the Twisted Shawlette Club. Thank you to everyone at Twisted for inspiring me to make this. It’s a great LYS in Portland, Oregon.

This stole was part of a book of designs inspired by Oregon locations. My “assignment” was farmer’s markets.

Gloves are interchangeable, grab and go!

This squishy Garter Stitch blanket is highly adaptable to almost any weight yarn and monochromatic or wild color combinations. It’s especially suited to self-striping yarn when used with a neutral main color. As I knit this blanket, its tilting lines and colors made me dream of pale frosting and a teetering chocolate cake.

This pattern is for a square shawl with an open neck that can be worked in any DK or worsted yarn and knit to any desired size.

When we were kids, my sister, brother and I got our hands on a piece of mica—a rocky mineral—and were fascinated with splitting it along its iridescent planes.

These fingerless mitts invite you to play with a small amount of special yarn, be it new yarn candy, a sentimental leftover, or perhaps your first handspun. The samples showcase a splash of color, like a jolt of sugar running up the side of each mitt. Making a colorful hand with a neutral stripe would be striking, too.

Hydrangeas have always held a place in our hearts in my family. Here, in the summer of the Pacific Northwest, they bloom in great washes of the most vivid lavenders and pinks. Some an almost electric cornflower blue. The dark ones a glorious purple. To me, they embody the lazy heat of summer as it slowly slips into a hint of fall.

A simple, pebbly scarf that shows off beautiful tonal yarn. Appropriate for beginners on up. Pattern instructions come in a 2-page pdf.

French Press is a lush cowl that features gorgeous yarn in a simple, irregular rib pattern. One ribbon, cord or other closure threads through a column of eyelets to scrunch and stylishly distort the cowl. It can be worn super scrunched, or loosely draped. Thanks to choice of closure, each knitter’s cowl will be a unique work of art.

An adaptable bonnet for oddballs, special yarn, striping yarn, handspun, or scraps. You name it.

The Radiator Cowl and mitt patterns come together in one pack. These fingerless mitts use two colors of long-repeat self striping yarn.

A simple neck warmer, whose vertical lines and fanning structure remind me of grasses shushing in the breeze.

This simple and somewhat silly hat was first named the Meathead Hat, when it was part of an art installation 10 years ago. Today, that name does not make sense, and so I’ve changed it to a plant-based alternative. The hat seems like an upturned beet to me!

There used to be the sweetest little Cafe & Knittery in my neighborhood, and it was called Mabel’s. It’s turned to a coffee shop now, still wonderful but without the yarn and needles tucked in everywhere. This pattern is my tribute to old Mabel’s. A sample scarf that used to reside there was my jumping off point, but this scarf is far diffe...
