I went to Denver and all I got was THIS AWESOME ONLINE CLASS!

So a while back I went to Denver, craft beer capital of the world, and home to quite possibly the happiest place on Earth (hint: Disneyland is not it), Fancy Tiger Crafts. I got to do a Trunk Show with the wonderful knitters of Denver, and attend Craft Night there and the place instantly felt […]

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 […]
