What Inspired the Thunderclouds Pullover? January 14, 2021 03:00
|
Thunderstorm season has passed us by here in the northeastern United States making room for the insulating winter snow, but I remember the day in November when this pattern was released by Biscotte Yarns. |

Willow Yarns has recently created a beautiful yarn with a blend of wool and alpaca—Dusk. It's amazingly soft, and works up super fast in crochet. They sent me a little sample over the summer, and I whipped up this beauty for them. |

Drifter - New Pattern! September 3, 2020 03:10
| Simple Stockinette stitch is so often underappreciated. I've waxed and waned with my attraction to it throughout my knitting experience. At the moment, with all that's going on in the world (2020 OMG!), I'm thoroughly appreciating the repetitive, simplicity of Stockinette. There are no surprises—it's always the same, and easy.

Summer Cast-on Magazine & the Mazar Pullover May 6, 2020 16:22
| Something I love about hand-dyed yarn is that the beautiful and unique colors can make a basic stockinette sweater into a piece of art. However, I still need the knitting itself to be somewhat interesting—which is why I think the Mazar Pullover is the perfect pattern for hand-dyed yarn. Read more. |  |

| The days here in Maine are finally becoming warmer and I've been enjoying spending time in the yard barefoot and without a coat. As the temps turn, my mind drifts toward summer knits, which is perfect since the Summer 2020 issue of Interweave Knits has just arrived! Read more. |  |
Njord Pullover in Cast on Spring 2020 February 1, 2020 02:48
|
I don't know about you, but the prospect of Spring has me thinking of warm-weather knits. Some of my favorite things about Spring and Summer knits are organic cotton, short sleeves and wearing pullovers instead of cardigans. The Njord Pullover is all of those! |

New Pattern - Little Joy Dress! June 30, 2016 21:54
|
The Little Joy Dress was inspired many years ago when my niece was tiny. But, at that time I was much more focused on designing and knitting adult sweater garments more-so than for children. Thus, it turned into the adult Joy Lace Tunic.

Construction Class - Homa April 26, 2016 06:00 18 Comments
|
One of the things I really love about knitting is the experience of watching a piece come together out of nothing. Starting with a simple cast-on somewhere in the sweater, then seeing it grow and form into something I can wear is fascinating to me. However, at some point, I got bored with knitting sweaters using the same-old types of construction—back, front, sleeves, sew-them-up… or even seamless yokes and raglans, bottom-up or top-down. So, in comes Homa... Read more. |

|
Once upon a time, Green Mountain Spinnery put out a design submission call for their Mountain Mohair yarn. It's such a cozy yarn! I was inspired to design something cozy to match how I feel when I think about the yarn. |
