I designed this breezy top is to hug the curves we love while being kind to those we don’t.

Four little scarves, meant to give you a taste of what reversible stitch patterns can do.

High-impact cables add pizzazz to this easy top-down cardigan. I added special detail at the bottom hem that are striking, but not at all complicated.

Who doesn’t love the drama of a little kimono sleeve?

We all have that one “special button”, don’t we? You know the one I mean: the large, individual button that you adore, but have never found just the right spot for? Well, now you have.

I call this the “City Shawl” because it has no flowers, trees, leaves, or feathers worked into the lace. There’s no fluttery finge. It’s a supersimple, easily memorizable mesh lace pattern, interspersed with layers of just plain garter stitch.

Quick knits that make you feel like smiling, or dancing, when you’re done are such a good time.

The Easy Cozy Cowl combines knitting in the round, with a simple, yet elegant, stitch pattern to create a gorgeous cowl. Quick to knit, and fun to wear, this is a great project for any beginning knitter, especially new knitters who are first learning to knit in the round.

Let those knits and purls shine in this showcase scarf! Different stitch patterns combine to create a stitch sampler scarf that is warm and cozy and visually pleasing. Whether you choose solids, variegated or gradient yarns, this scarf is sure to be stunning!

I included all the options in these little raglan sweaters. Pattern is written for both boys and girls with long and short sleeve versions. It always feels good to have options where creativity is concerned!

I designed this shawlette in conjunction with Craftsy.com, using Lorna’s Laces Solemate in the Flamingo Stripe colorway.

Just one skein of light and airy Lima will be enough to create this, your newest hat.

These little scarves are the perfect solution to the “Just one hank of gorgeous yarn” epidemic that is sweeping through our yarn storage areas. Reclaim that unused yarn! All you need is one hank of any yarn…but you can make a larger scarf if you have more! Cast on at the point and knit to the longest edge, the scarf simply ends when you run out...

I designed this shrug for my UPcycled Tshirt Yarn Class and, by request, have made it available for sale here on Ravelry.

Sizes:

This sweater is worked in the round from the top down with no seaming. Front and back are worked separately for a few inches after the sleeve caps are bound off.

This shawl was designed to reflect the beautiful colors and patterns of a walk in the woods. A lover of symmetry and graphic design, I boiled the organic and infinite natural shapes down into simple repeating patterns that convey mountains, trees, leaves, clouds, and stones. The colors imply bark, sky, petals, moss, and rock.

I originally published the BABY size range of the pattern in Interweave Knits Weekend,September 2009. For more project photos, see the original pattern.

Knit cuff-down on one long circular needle (but you can use 2 circs or DPN).
