I'm so excited to announce that I've partnered with Miss Babs to design a pair of knit or crochet patterns for the next installment of their Inspired Adventures Club! Kits for the Seismic Shift (knit) and Seismic Shift (crochet) shawls are up for preorder now through August 11 and will ship on August 14. The construction of this shawl takes its cue from how the Hawaiian Islands were formed as the tectonic plates slowly moved over volcanic hot spots, forming new islands along the way. The knit pattern features garter stitch fabric, while the crochet version is worked in half double crochet ..read more

The Pride & Progress Cowl patterns are now live on Ravelry (knit and crochet) and Payhip (knit and crochet)! 20% of the proceeds from pattern sales will be donated to The Trevor Project initially. In the future, these funds may be directed to other organizations that support the queer community, wherever the need seems greatest at that time.

Like the flag, the cowl builds on the traditional rainbows, joining them with mitered stripes representing transgender people, people of color, and those impacted ..read more

Each design takes 2 skeins of the Rustic Fingering base, but the shop also stocks the Studio Sock base if single ply isn't your thing. The knit version, Jiggle, uses intermittent i-cord cast ons to gradually add more chevrons and build depth, followed by i-cord bind ..read more

It works up super fast too, using a full skein of Jems Luxe Fibers Monstrous bulky, paired with a set of 5 Monster bulky mi ..read more

Lady Bird is now live on Ravelry and Payhip! This shawl begins at one tip and is worked side-to-side. German short-row wedges along the top edge of the shawl cause the direction of the knitting to shift from perfectly horizontal at first to ever increasing biased angles. I-cord edging and an i-cord bind off lend a smooth finish to the garter stitch fabric. This shawl was designed in collaboration with JuJu Knits in Fort Worth, Texas, using their shop exclusive colorway, Lady Bird, from MadelineTosh. Both the colorway and shawl were inspired by the former first lady, Lady Bird Johnson, and h ..read more

The Niefling hat is now live on Ravelry and Payhip! Plain double knitting transitions effortlessly into basic brioche ribbing in this versatile, reversible hat design. How will you style yours? Light side or dark side? Slouchy or cuffed? As the name may imply, this design was inspired by my own niece and nephews.

With 4 different ways to wear the same hat, everyone should be able to find a style that suits. Plus it’s sized for the entire family! Video tutorials are incl ..read more
