Spice Cake Scarf

Find it on Etsy Find it on Ravelry I've been making this scarf for a little while and I'm really enjoying it, so it's now an available pattern. So far, my favorite yarns to make this in are Berocco Folio and Tosh merino light. Both very different yarns - the Folio is an elegant and…

Forest Canopy Shawl

I tried to make this shawl when I first started knitting and it was a bit too ambitious for my skills then but I really liked it so I kept it in my queue for later. I added more rows to the body and border and it's a very good size to be useful. The…

Dishcloths on a train

I decided to try taking the train 2 days a week to school. I save $20 a day doing this. I can knit/crochet all I like Saves on the wear and tear of my car I get less exhausted and frustrated by the traffic, bridges, school zones and trains. My first 2 days on the…

Wedding Ishbel for Sarah

The Ishbel by Ysolda Teague is my go-to for special occasion gift shawls. Love this pattern. Before I know it, I'm at the lace sections, so it feels quick to knit up. This one is in Cascade Yarns Heritage Silk, @880 yds. LOVE this wool, soft and pleasant, but light. Added beads to the YO's…

Chevron scarf in luxury yarns

The Gloomy Ulmus

I am a big fan of designs by Kirsten Kapur, and have several patterns, but I didn't enjoy knitting this one. It looks nice, feels nice, but I had several issues and they just seemed to keep coming. I didn't pick colors for this shawl, but for another and they were far gloomier than they…

Aqua Dolphin Cowl

Pretty yarn and a very nice pattern called My Dolphin Cowl. Love the picot hemmed edge, it's worth the extra work. They scrumptious yarn was Baah! La Jolla, in mystique. I used just under 400 yards, maybe @380.

Cherry Blossom Scarf

This finished scarf is for sale in my etsy shop and the pattern is for sale here in the pattern section. I love it in red, so pretty.

Fragile Sunshine

The Fragile Heart shawl pattern by Boo Knits was a nice knit. Picot bind off - who knew? Took a long time to do, but worth it (seems you always hear that about the picot bind off). I worked on this during lunch breaks in my car at work and it was relaxing. Malabrigo lace…

Momijigari Shawl/Scarf

This long but narrow shawl I'll probably use as a scarf. The pattern, Momijigari by Beth Kling, is pretty simple, but the stitch count might get to you before anything else. After a while, I could only handle one row a night. Knit with Pagewood Farms sock yarn in the colorway Peaceful.
