High School was difficult for me, academically as well as socially. And those plaid circle skirts (made by my mother), with red tights and white ankle socks won me neither fashion nor academic accolades! But I eventually had something in my wardrobe to draw admiring rather than horrified stares in the hallways of Hunter College High School.

Here is a cap one of the Downton Ladies might have worn. It is based on a design published in the 1890’s in Weldon’s Practical Crochet and advertised there as a “Venetian Cap,” being of a style purportedly popular in Venice.

This top-down triangular shawl can be made in a variety of sizes. The starting chain length is used to give the shawl extra width; the overall size can be varied by altering the number of rows worked.

Cozy cables with SKYP stitches provide luxurious texture to this hat and scarf combo. The hat is worked in the round from the brim up. The scarf has a cable pattern which changes direction at the back of the neck so that both ends of the scarf have downward Willow tree roots.

A lovely mix of cables and lace make this hat a joy to knit! Directions are written and charted. 200 yards of any worsted weight yarn will work - but I used Madelinetosh Tosh Vintage and highly recommend it.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
These fingerless mitts are worked in the round using size 6 (4mm) needles, bottom up. There is a panel of cables and lacework, and the palm of the mitts are in stockinette stitch. The mitts are very stretchy and one size should fit most Adult women’s hands.

A Christmas hat made for my brother as he was packing up to leave his home on Centerport Harbor for a new home in the woods.
Crochet: Earflap Hat
My favorite earflap cap to date - because the earflaps are worked as a part of the main hat body - no adding in of separate ear pieces!
Crochet: Cowl
Starting at front top center, the cowl at first is worked identical to the Goldberry shawl. At Row 19, a long chain is made to encircle the neck (variable length to your desired fit), and then additional rows are worked down to the final Leaf lower edging row. The top edging rows provide a slightly curled top edge.

OK, you caught me. I was SUPPOSED to be cleaning and vacuuming in preparation for the weekend houseguests, but what was I doing instead? Fooling around with my first love (crocheting), making all these little square motifs. I couldn’t resist the pretty colors, and trying them out in all the different sizes!

“Emma, my dear,” Mr. Woodhouse implored. “I beg you not to go out today; I fear it might turn blustery and you would likely catch a chill.”
Crochet: Cowl
This is probably the simplest pattern I’ll ever write, but it actually took a lot of experimentation to get the floppy drape I was after, using crochet rather than knitted Garter stitch.
Crochet: Shawl / Wrap
Kerfuffle is a silly shawlette, or maybe it’s a scarf, I’m not exactly sure. However, when I saw those 2 skeins of Malabrigo Worsted Merino in Halcyon Yarns last week, I knew they were meant for me, and meant to be joined together by me in a long “something-or-other” as my Ravellenics project.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque

A cute little hat to match my pattern “Little Garter Cardi.” Pattern uses double pointed needles in the round (you will need to knit a row, then purl a row, etc) - or you could work back and forth knitting every row then seam the hat when you are finished.

Knitting: Cowl
Here is another knit cowl for you all. I thought a lot about infinity while making this cowl, and about Math in general. Not that the cowl is particularly difficult - in fact you can think about lots of other things while knitting it.

Funny how the unexpected can sneak up on you. Like falling in love with the WRONG person, or knitting a hat which turns out to be totally different from what you had planned.

Yesterday was a really bad day. My favorite red crayon broke (RIGHT IN HALF!) before I finished drawing on the dining room wall so I had to switch to purple! Then just as I was making a fun lake on the living room rug with my juice-box, Mommy came over and started yelling about something; what a cranky-pants SHE can be! And THEN, somehow the ca...

I made this hat as a quick Christmas gift for my sister’s BF - then my BFF demanded one for herself, so I made it again. So it is a unisex hat, I suppose. Fairly quick and relatively painless.

This pattern is similar to the “Happy Husband Hat” but the cables twist out instead of in.
