I knit a little sweater for the baby girl my friends Nicole and Joe are expecting in March. Hopefully the sweater provides the incentive they need to pick the lovely name of Lorene for their child.

The pattern I used was the in threes:  a baby cardigan. It took a bunch of looking to find a [...]

My mom really loved the Aestlight shawl I knitted awhile ago, so I decided to knit her one for Christmas. This one is made with Malabrigo Sock yarn in Persia.
My mom is very sensitive to wool but I’ve seen her wearing this quite a few times! It blocked out a lot differently (ie bigger)  than [...]

My go to gift for my brother-in-laws are hats. That’s right! My sister got married in October and now I have 2 brothers-in-law.
First up is Kyle’s hat. I used the pattern Winter’s Coming and the light green is Knit Picks Cadena. The dark green is some scrap yarn.

I made up the pattern for Jeremy’s hat, [...]

I started knitting my Aestlight Shawl back in May while I was traveling in France and Switzerland. I never really got beyond the garter triangle and it lingered all summer.

Recently I got some inspiration to finish up old projects and I managed to knock out the rest of this shawl pretty quickly.

Next month, pending volcano ash disruptions, I am heading to Paris and Geneva for a week. I want to pack super light, but I definitely need a knitting project to take along.
I have had the Geodesic Cardigan from Knit Scene in my queue for awhile. I really want a red cardigan, but I’m having a [...]

I was a girl scout roller derby girl for Halloween, so it only seems right that I move on to the boy scouts next. I’m picturing a vintage Norman Rockwell type boy scout, with a big red neckerchief – not the anemic ones they wear now. This was the inspiration for La Neckerchief [...]

I’ve had it in my head that I wanted to design a simple lacy wristwarmer/fingerless glove using some Malabrigo Silky Merino. However I’ve had a hard time coming up with the right lace pattern. Today I finally figured it out and knitted up a sample. I need to write up the pattern so I [...]

I’m in love with cowls right now. They are simple and easy to wear. Best of all they knit up quick. Here is the first in a series of quick and easy cowls. You can easily knit these up in a night or two and the patterns are easy to remember!

Pick a luxe super bulky [...]
