As a child, my mother would knit reversible mohair hats for me and my siblings every winter.

The Basic Bulky Hat is just what it sounds like: an easy, quick-to-knit basic hat that uses just one ball of most super-bulky yarns. Adorned with a pom pom or tassel, it’s a trendy gift that won’t look like it only took an hour or two to whip up.

Stuck at home and unable to get to the yarn shop, I had to knit a baby blanket… fast! I gathered all of the fingering, sport, DK, and worsted weight yarns I had and the Zucchini Blanket was born. Combining fingering and DK weights makes the equivalent of worsted, and holding two strands of sport together does the same. It’s a great way to use u...

Dany is irresistible. It’s definitely a statement necklace – and you’re in control of the statement. Wear it loose and bask in the bohemian glow of beads draped casually around your neck. Maybe you’re feeling more like a queen? A few twists of the necklace before you fasten it: and you’ve got a spiral of sparkle and color that sits boldly below...

Lyanna is fierce. Tough to the core… but still feminine. That’s how you’ll feel when you make and wear this stunning bracelet. Flashes of sparkle sit delicately on the wrist.

Stripes of mesh-like mohair are paired with seemingly-solid sections of stockinette merino. These visual and tactile contrasts are separated by an explosion of sparkle. This design evokes thoughts of the universe, the big bang, and empty space. If you can’t wrap physics and astronomy around your head, at least you can wrap this cowl around your...
