Take a wee bit of worsted (under 100 yards), a beautiful button, and a few hours and make this lovely little neckwarmer.
Striae
This is a simple shawlette available in two different versions. The striping reminded me of the grooves formed by glaciers on Kelly’s Island in Ohio, a fantastic place that we used to go to as kids for family vacations. The most fun part about this pattern may just be picking the perfect two colors of a gorgeous hand-dyed sock yarn. …
Big Green Cowl
This is the epitome of a soothing knit: use a decadent worsted weight yarn, and you’ve got yourself one heck of a knitting time. Wear it long, wear it doubled, whatever you do, make sure you wear this cowl! MaterialsFinished Measurements: 60” in diameter, 9” tall.Yarn: approximately 325 yards worsted-weight yarn.

Arms Akimbo Mitts
Wear these mitts all fall and winter long – they’ll keep your non-knitting parts good and toasty. Chevrons are a great way to add visual interest to the long color repeats of this yarn, and my favorite I-cord bind-off is featured at the top of the mitt. MaterialsFinished Measurements: 8.5″ long, 7″ around (3.5″ across when laid flat) at base …
Slightly Flouncy
This is a super light-weight, fluffy shawlette with a hint of ruffley goodness to step it up a notch. This shawlette is plain yet flouncy…
Leafy Greens
Inspired by a simple leaf motif and the loveliest green yarn in my stash, I played around with shawl shaping and pattern-mixing, and after a few fits and starts, came up with this pattern. In either fingering or sport, the long arms allow for many different wrapping styles, and construction gives the piece a soft curve in back. MaterialsFinished Measurements: …
Emily Shmemily
A simple and lovely one-skein-of-sock-yarn shawlette that can easily be made larger, the edges can also be blocked flat or in points.
Alma Lou
I first made this shawlette for my mother, Alma, for her birthday. We call her Alma Lou, because her middle name is, quite surprisingly, Lucretia. I wanted something simple, with a bit of frou-frou, but not too much. Eyelets seemed to be the way to go, and on a garter background, they’re almost rustic. This is a simple pattern with …
Ananke
In Greek mythology, Ananke was the personification of destiny, necessity and fate. She was often depicted holding a spindle. How perfect! I feel that she compelled me to knit this shawlette, and a second, and to cast on for moremoremore. Give in to Ananke and knit one for yourself (or a friend)! MaterialsFinished Measurements: 62″ wide from tip to tip, …
Rasta Cape
Sometimes, you just want something a bit… saucier than a cowl or a scarf. That’s where this cape comes in – using mesh lace and an I-cord button loop, this is a quick and easy project that really ups your fancy quotient.
Garter Hug
This is the perfect project for those times when you have some special yarn and just want it to hug you. Simple and meditative knitting at its finest.
