Flat Stanley Returns!
You may remember the previous adventures of Flat Stanley from a few years ago (for my niece)… well, it’s that time again, but for my nephew. Last time it was amazing to see all the wonderful places that you knitters live, or visited. H’s Flat Stanley went on Safari in Africa, saw London, and went […]

Technology for Knitting: Smartphone Colorwork Edition
The other day I was yarn shopping and picked up some colors for a project, and was trying to decide on the whether the values were different enough to work well with the stranded pattern I had in mind. In the past I’ve taken a digital photo of my yarn and converted it to black […]

Snowmen!!
I’ve been working on a sweater for my sister Laura, that’s black fingering weight and taking a REALLY LONG TIME, so when the first sleeve required ripping and some recalculation, I decided to take a break so that I didn’t want to chop it into tiny little pieces by the time I was done with […]
Trousseau Wrap & A Custom-Knitted Wedding
Just a quick note today to let you know that I’ve got a new pattern released (when it rains, it pours!). My dear friend Amanda Jarvis, the manager for Lorna’s Laces, got married back in May, and she had asked me to design and knit her a wedding shawl. Then Lisa Shroyer at Interweave heard […]
The Confluence Collection
I’m pleased to present to you, dear knitters, my newest FO, The Confluence Collection. The Confluence Collection is a grouping of patterns exploring the convergence of lines and points in knitted space. I got to play around with Bramble Stitch (aka Trinity Stitch), which when knit at an open gauge looks deceptively like lace, but […]
