I have a new pattern out in the winter issue of Petite Purls! I have this goal to knit a new sweater every fall/winter for H (and his brother next year). The first one was the Child’s Placket-Neck Pullover, the second was Henry’s Sweater, and Oliver is this year’s ‘winner’. My pregnant brain had a [...]

I meant to publish this on 11/27, but I guess I never hit the button. Oh well… Meet Link: “A beguiling blend of visual interest and ease of knitting, Link features matched cables and an easy, in-the-round construction.

Woohoo, I have a new pattern in Petite Purls!! H watched two different shows both featuring rocket ships in a really short period of time, and then all he could talk about was rocket ships, going to the moon, and outer space. So, because I’m the kind of knitter who takes an idea and runs [...]

So, I whipped up some new socks for Steve, just in time for him to not where them for a few months: These are my own design, Black Friday Socks, and the pattern will be available (again) soon. I also went to a baby shower last Saturday, so I knit up another version of Henry’s [...]
Sock’s Revived- Octopus’ Garden

Designed for the Socks Revived Contest hosted by Elinor of Exercise Before Knitting. Even though real octopi don’t collect shiny objects, the imagery in this song has stayed with me. The lyrics (and various Muppet versions) combined with the happy, Caribbean colors in the yarn inspired me to create these socks. The stitch pattern reminds [...]

I’ve been hard at work drafting up two new sock patterns. I’m very happy with the way both patterns are turning out, although I wish I had a bigger sock yarn stash (and the ability to knit while sleeping) to knit up several different versions of each sock. From a pattern picker’s perspective, I like [...]

I can finally reveal one of my biggest super-secret projects. Say “hi” to Henry’s Sweater: It’s from the latest edition of Petite Purls, an online magazine devoted specifically to children’s knits. I started the design process shortly after Thanksgiving and submitted it on a whim. It was such a pleasure working with the Petite Purls [...]
