My most recent WIP is my second run at the Montrose Pullover (also a work in progress)

I’m using yarn and fiber from the @longdogyarn.com “Over the Garden Wall” Collection and I could NOT be more pleased.

Getting witchier every day…

The shawl, I mean. Probably me too. I’m good with it. 🔮

This is a #BelovedGhostShawl modified to use a 24 mini fade. The fade is @thefibrefox.bsky.social Witching Hour countdown from 2024.

Happy October, pals! It’s officially Prairie Town cowl release day!

It’s easy knitting, easy wearing, and a fab companion for fall.

Find it at my ravelry or payhip—more details on my website.

Only 2 days until the Prairie Town cowl gets let loose! If you’ve ever thought “hey, I wish I could sling a sunset around my neck” this one might be for you

Pattern and mini kit from Baby Cat Yarn both drop on October 1!

With the release of the Prairie Town cowl coming right up (10/1) you might be asking “but what if I’ve got a couple skeins of the same color?? Is it still cool?”

Yes, friends. It’s still very cool. This is the cowl modified for one color, with neck and hem ribbing.

Continuing the #ShowMeYourKnits autumn roundup, here’s a sneak peek at a new cowl, releasing October 1.

Meet the Prairie Town cowl! Inspired by that kind of sunset you only ever get over a dry cornfield.

It’s fall and also the kick off of the Baby Cat Yarn 3rd annual mystery dk skein spectacular! So, I’m running a sale on my favorite DK hat - the #BayStreetHat

It’s cozy, it’s stretchy, it’s sized baby to xl adult, and it’s the perfect gift knit. 🧶

This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits prompt is autumn, and my favorite autumnal knits have to be these babies - my Hythe cowl and hat! Tree trunks brioche motif, autumnal colors and reversibility? An essential bit of my fall wardrobe.

Eeee, it’s finished and the Minnesota return to summer has given me a chance to wear it out into the world!

I’ve been noodling on this lacy tee design for years now, i can’t quite believe it finally worked!

Scarf week for #ShowMeYourKnits and there’s a clear choice. This is a scarf (not yet released, but still potentially coming) that I made with the cool half of the Baby Cat Yarn grunge palette.

The shawl celebration continues! My fade-iest fades! Both the Bloomfield and Beloved Ghost shawls are built for painterly fades, and I always feel so fancy.

It’s shawl week for #ShowMeYourKnits and since I can’t pick a favorite, I’ll just share them out across the week!

Montrose was the second shawl I designed, but the first I reach for on a cold day. Maximum stripes and maximum squish.

Knitting vacation continues with this cowl design in progress. It’s good to get the knits a little fresh air, right?

Happy Birthday, #ShowMeYourKnits! Since this week is knitter’s choice and, since I’m on vacation at this very spot, I’ll share my first design, the Bloomfield Shawl, snapped on the shores of the very best lake (it’s Superior).

Still not on a river cruise with a mimosa in hand, but this sock is so deliciously hypnotic I might not mind!

If the colorway is “Viking River Cruise” does that mean it’ll transport me to a sunny sundeck with a mimosa? Maybe? 🚢

Summer #ShowMeYourKnits you say?! Can’t get more summery than this lacy linen top. It’s my first time working with de Rarum Natura Antigone, but it definitely won’t be my last. It’s gorgeous (if splitty) and I can’t wait to wear it.

I’m late to the #ShowMeYourKnits party this week, but sneaking in with my favorite iterations of my favorite knit.

I love a cowl whether cozy little necklets or bandanas that make it seem like you’re wearing a swooshy shawl! They add color and pizazz! Cowls 4eva!

This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits prompt is WIPs - so of course I’m full of options. Today’s plan is making progress on this Holly Avenue shawl with my Muppet Christmas Carol advent yarns from @thecornerofcraft.bsky.social

As the Beloved Ghost release celebration continues around here, I’m still working away on this advent calendar version that’s taking a distinct turn toward the witching hour.

It’s release day for my Beloved Ghost shawl!

It’s a single-color brioche, winged half-pi shawl designed for a three color fade in your favorite fingering-weight yarn

Lightweight, easy to knit, easy to wear - I’m so excited to set it loose!
