It’s been an amazing experience designing independent knitting patterns these last 12+ years. And throughout it, the many life changes, including a fantastic full-time job, have pulled me from my ability to maintain the upkeep and customer service needed. I’ve decided to close the store and retire all the patterns. It may not be forever, but I need to follow my heart towards other projects for now.

My patterns and pattern support will no longer be available after August 1, 2021.

Until that date, please enjoy a closing discount of 50% off on all patterns (no coupon code needed). Thank you for so many years of support and knitting!

Beautiful, textural garter stitch stripes and simple patterning combine to make a striking shawl with an almost ombré-like effect. The results are elegant, sophisticated, and deliciously cozy. Choose your two favorite colors to make a showpiece that you’ll love wearing again and again.
