This cowl is named for the first leaves to unfurl on a plant - it’s for when you’re tired of winter and ready for spring, but It’s still cool enough to want an extra layer on, or for when you want a extra pop of color for your outfit. It’s also for when you are ready to try some colorwork, and you want to start with a project that won’t take to...

Raggi is a worsted weight yarn that is designed for socks - a blend of wool and poly with a reasonable twist that comes in the marked colors of classic old time hiking socks. When I decided it was time to knit up the skeins in my stash, I couldn’t find a pattern that gave me just what I wanted, so I demanded my own.

Ever wanted to be one of those people who can knit a sock in one evening? Here’s an easy way to do it; you’ll end up with a tiny socklet that is quick, adorable, and uses just a little scrap fingering yarn.

This is not any of those; this is the blanket you want when you’re sitting on the sofa reading, and your feet get cold. It goes especially well with a favorite book, a cup of tea, and maybe a bowl of popcorn.

For my last birthday, my mom gave me some yarn including a beautiful single skein of what looks to me like hand-spun silk with beaded thread running along the yarn. I wanted something to make something pretty to show off the yarn, something very open that would let the beads sparkle.

A baby hat with a leaf sprouting on top; a quick and easy knit in a soft and smooth yarn.

This sock features rowing shells (quads) on the instep, followed by a ‘wake’ cable pattern. There are oars along either side of the foot, with hatchet blades extending into the heel gusset. A ripple cable pattern that flows along the back of the leg extending into the heel flap, and there are two more boats on the front of the leg, finishing wi...

Based on a hat I saw in Gamla Stan, the old part of Stockholm, with a tvåändsstickning (Swedish twined knitting) brim and stranded cap.
