La Neckerchief Scarf – Free Pattern
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 – a [...]
Lacy Wristwarmers
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 can [...]
The Overpass Cowl Free Pattern
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!

This summer my sister asked me if she was ever [...]

Sweet Slouchy Hat
I’ve had the Star Crossed Slouchy Hat in my Ravelry queue for awhile but I didn’t have any particularl plans to make it. Then 2 things happened – the weather turned fall-like and it started popping up in everyone’s Ravelry activity stream. So I frogged my Shifting Sands scarf, which I had set aside after [...]
New Arrivals to the Stash
In the past week I’ve picked up some new yarn from Angelfire Studios and Quarter Stitch. I finally had time to enter them into my Ravelry Stash and take photos!
I plan to use the skein of Colinette Jitterbug to make myself some thin wristwarmers for work. My office can be freezing.
Both skeins of Outer are [...]
