My latest just-for me project is a stripy cardigan worked sideways, and it’s a milestone for me as it’s my very first crocheted sweater.

The Greenery Set is a trio of hat, cowl, and mitts featuring a rich texture of cable-and-lace leaves, seed stitch, and half-twisted ribbing.

I’ve been lazy about taking photos in recent months, so I have a bit of a backlog of makes to show off - and here they are!

I have two new patterns to share today, a cabled hat and scarf duo in DK weight yarn.

This classic hat and scarf combo is all about the cables!

Sometimes a knit or crochet scarf could do with a little something extra, and a classic fringe is an easy addition which suits many different styles of scarf, wrap, or shawl.

My Dayspring sweater is finished and I love it!

As a little bonus, here is a simple method for adding beads to my Candy Cones pattern.

Introducing Candy Cones, a collection of little stuffed ‘trees’ which I designed to brighten up my apartment during the holidays.

Fellow colourwork lovers, this one’s for you!

I have a sewing machine again!

My Beeswax Hat, Cowl, and Mitts have been some of my most popular patterns since I first published them nearly a decade ago.

I’m continuing my obsession with botanical shapes in knitting with a colourwork hat and cowl duo, featuring lush leaves framed by delicate linework.

In the mood for some cosy cables?

Brooklyn Tweed are launching a new yarn this month, and they’ve knit up a new sample of my Ensata Scarf to show it off!

The Beanstalk Cowl is a one-skein fingering-weight cowl featuring the same columns of lacy leaves and twisted ribbing as my Beanstalk Hat and Beanstalk Shawl patterns.

The ninth annual Indie Design Giftalong has just begun!

If you want your newly-knitted hat to look its best, I really recommend taking the time to finish your hat by blocking it, especially if you’ve used lace stitches or colourwork.

It’s one year to the day since I released my Heartwood Cowl design, and at long last it has its companion hat!

I’ve been wanting to design some cat-inspired knits for a long time.
