Sweet Lattice for Baby Z
Show me more! →I wasn't sure if I'd finish in time but Baby Z's blanket is done! Phew! I've knit special blankets for all of my babies before their arrival and I would have felt awful if baby #3 arrived without his first knitted blanket finished. Thankfully it's completed and it looks just beautiful in Blue Sky Alpacas' Worsted Cotton in the Mediterranean colorway. I can't wait to meet my sweet lil boy and to wrap him up in his new blanket. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *...

NEW PATTERN: Empire State
Show me more! →When it comes to Knitty.com all knitters get excited when a new issue is released. Today Knitty, Deep Fall 2013 was released and what made this extra exciting for me is that I have my first ever FREE Knitty pattern in this issue! With the debut of my Empire State design I'm SO excited to now be a part of the Knitty pattern collection! True to my graphic design aesthetic, I've taken my original graphics and translated them into a fun, bold, colorwork design. Inspiration for this design came from the stylized shapes and strong symmetry of the art deco movement. The bold lines of...

Manly Mojavé
Show me more! →I've got to share with you a Mojavé project from a fellow Ravelry member. Check out Lane's version that she made for her boyfriend. Once I saw this, she really got me thinking outside the box. Her project sheds a maculane light on my Mojavé that I didn't think of before. I just love the colors she picked and the edited length that she made. I think it looks so great on her man. He wears it very well, making my Mojavé pattern look uber cool and hip for a man too! I hope this project gets you thinking that maybe this fall,...

Hello, Shibui!
Show me more! →Boy, did I get some lovely yarn mail today… Hello, SHIBUI! My breath was taken away when I opened this lovely package. A box full of beautiful Shibui yarns! I have to say, I'm kind of embarrassed that I haven't worked with Shibui before. I don't know how I could not have either… This.Yarn.Is.Goregous. I'm very close to releasing my next pattern and once that happens, this is the yarn that I'm going to be designing with next. I'm thinking colorwork, for sure!

New Stationery!
Show me more! →I'm so excited to share 4 new stationery designs with you today! This new card design and the 3 new gift tag designs debuted at TNNA a couple weekends ago and they got really great feedback - and orders! It's a totally new look to my line and I had the idea for these designs but just couldn't execute the 'look' I wanted myself so I commissioned my friend and fellow designer Shell Stoll to do the illustrations. I knew she'd knock it out of the ball park right away and she did! She is an amazing artist for sure. This design set has more...
