Knitting: Cowl
The varying sights of a country walk—from dappled sunlight to richly textured stone walls—are suggested with simple stitch patterns, rotating through three colorways so that each gets a chance to shine. Large-scale openwork flows into a slipped-stitch window pattern and then smooth stockinette, before sprays of dipped stitches lead back into op...
Knitting: Cowl
Tannholz is all about textural contrast – knobbly pinecones in close-up, juxtaposed against the geometric, flattened outlines of conifers viewed from afar. These two patterns are worked in turn over two long sections, then seamed to form a loop.
Knitting: Scarf
Inspired by the glow of sunset on city skyscrapers, Concrete Jungle uses strict geometric repetition and a perfect gradient yarn to strong effect.
Knitting: Cowl
This is as simple and soothing as a stroll in the woods. Using only knit stitches, you work back and forth (and occasionally in the round) to create wedges of colour that stack on top of each other in gentle folds. No purling, no seaming, no stress – just easy short row turns (tutorial included).
Knitting: Cowl
Parent-and-child cowls evoke the fun of Snakes & Ladders with a garter-stitch spiral that widens as it goes, spreading to cover the shoulders for a warm outer layer and ending in either a snake’s head (embellished with embroidered or button eyes and a felt tongue) or a more restrained square corner. Alternating colors suggest the bright blo...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Mokita means “the truth that everybody knows but no one talks about”. The truth in question is mental illness. I designed this shawl to fight the stigma and raise funds for mental health – every cent of the sale price is donated to Mind. You can read why over here.
Knitting: Scarf
Silver leaves in varying sizes are scattered on a brioche pathway for a delicately evocative autumn scarf.
Knitting: Pullover
You could say this is the ideal weekend pullover: relaxed, cozy and classic – but never boring! Sinuous cables are flanked by angled rib panels that move with the body, creating a flattering fit without waist shaping.
Knitting: Cowl
This companion to the beaded Haku cowl uses the same dragonscale pattern in worsted weight yarn, without the flared base, for a quick kid or adult accessory.
Knitting: Cowl
As comforting to knit as it is to wear, this cowl makes an elegant, unfussy, naturally shaped layer that will tuck under your coat or ride on top of it with equal ease. It is designed for about 200 g of yarn in any weight.
Knitting: Tee
Winterbeere celebrates late winter’s shifting light with subtle texture that changes appearance from different angles, and rich, gloom-busting colour. The flattering A-line shape, constructed seamlessly from the top down, is as easy to wear as it is to knit, with gorgeous drape and hand-feel provided by the soft, papery silk-blend yarn. Layer u...
Knitting: Pullover
This soft hug of a pullover brings you the peace of the forest, thanks to its generous cowlneck, extra-long sleeves and gently wandering cables. Whether out in the woods or curled up on the sofa, it’s your wearable security blanket.
Knitting: Cardigan
Peacock-inspired beaded lace is the focal point of this dramatic sleeved wrap, worked as a rectangle end to end with sleeves added afterward. Wear it as a generous waterfall cardigan, or throw the long end over your shoulder (with or without a shawl pin) to display the lace to full effect.

Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
These more-ish mitts tick all the boxes: fun to make, with a fast-moving stitch pattern and quirky shaping; great to wear, as the super-stretchy ribbing combines with bias knitting to hug your hands; and a perfect use for that special skein of handpainted yarn, which will be shown off to great effect by travelling columns of slipped stitches.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
I love fingerless mitts. I used to think they must be pretty pointless, since fingertips are the bits that get coldest – now I realise that since they warm your pulse point (and hence send warm blood circulating through your hands and body), they’re remarkably effective. And of course on winter runs, when those of us in less than perfect shape ...
