This shawl is the epitome of knitterly self-care: all of the sections have a rhythm you can really get into; it’s a great excuse to pair two complementarily lovely colors; the yarn is domestic, soft, gorgeous, and bouncy; and the final object is a big hug of a shawl, perfect for snuggling under after a day spent resisting and persisting. …

59th Street Bridge Socks
“Slow down, you move too fast…” Inspired by life in the slow lane on the 59th Street Bridge, these toe-up socks are a joyful challenge to knit. The combination of modified linen stitch and twisted ribbing play oh so nicely with a highly variegated skein of yarn, and, in sport-weight yarn, these socks are squishy and comfy to wear.

Falling Leaves
From the first time I saw the gorgeous Pan’s Labyrinth colorway from Tre Liz, I knew leaves needed to be in the mix on the finished design. This asymmetric triangle, marrying fun mesh and a leafy border perfectly complements a highly variegated colorway, in a fun and unexpected way.
Trisectrix

There are two versions – a single loop that doubles as a snood or hood, and a double loop that can …
Vesna
There’s nothing like Spring in the Pacific Northwest – most days, it’s enough to throw a shawlette on over a long-sleeved shirt. Vesna is the poetic word for “Spring” in the Slovene language, and refers to mythological female creatures associated with Springtime in early Slavic mythology. The Vesna Shawlette is an asymmetric shawlette, knitted from tip-to-tip, and it’s big enough …
Textural Healing Cowl
This is the cowl-sister to my Textural Healing Shawlette, with the added bonus of using two colors. The picot bind-off makes it a plucky little piece.
