Almost two weeks ago I posted my pattern recipe for the Corner to Corner Garter Stitch Throw. I’m finally on the downward slope working the decreases! Whoop whoop! (When you’re also knitting on like 10,000,000 other things progress is slow.) I can’t wait to display this colorful beauty on my new blanket ladder. I bought…
Dockside is a simple oversized knit sweater. This free pattern uses Knit Picks Billow yarn worked up on size US 11 (8mm) needles. The sleeves are created by increasing on the front and back pieces. Pattern Info Suggested Yarn Knit Picks, Billow – 6 (7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9) skeins Tea Rose [120 yards,…
I got a few comments on Instagram asking what pattern I was following for this bright garter stitch WIP. It’s not a pattern, but more of a pattern recipe. You can use any yarn and corresponding needle size to produce a blanket unique to you. I chose to work this yarn in this manner because…
The granny square; a crochet motif that will be around forever. I learned how to make granny squares 20 years ago when I started crocheting, and they existed long before that and recently I’ve been noticing a resurgence of them on Instagram. I’m taking up my own hook and jumping on the granny square bandwagon….
I whipped up this knit top a few months ago, but held on releasing the pattern until I could get some other eyes to look it over. It’s pretty simple. If you’ve made a garment before then this will be a breeze. And since there’s no sleeves it goes by quickly, which I love. I…
This breezy knitting pattern was inspired by the yarn choice. Most of the time I pick the yarn before I come up with the project and this was no exception. Rewind yarn came out last year (2018) from Lion Brand and I grabbed some up right away. It’s a bulky tape yarn, but it’s light…
It’s been a while, but I finally managed to get some pics of the Somerset Beach Top. I designed this last Summer and then tucked it away for safe keeping. Since I hadn’t snapped and photos I put it in my “do not wear” pile. Now I’m excited that I can finally queue it up…
Sometimes you need a break from the complicated projects. A brain break. A popcorn project (ie an addicting pattern with lots of repetition). That’s what this Greenlawn blanket shrug has been for me. Scroll down for the free pattern, or download the (still free) PDF of the pattern from HERE. Materials Yarn: Lion Brand Color…
It’s been a little while since my last post. I haven’t stopped knitting and designing, but life went a little sideways. As it does from time to time. Remember that sweater I made the boyfriend and said wasn’t cursed? Back peddle. It must have been. We broke up almost simultaneously as I gave it to…
I don’t know if it’s the cool weather kicking in or what, but I’ve been on a serious sweater kick recently. And so far they’re all raglans. Bottom up (because I hate flipping the whole sweater around to work the sleeves of a top down raglan). I’m on my third sweater in about a month….
