Yarn: Claudia Drama, 3 skeins; 2 skeins color A, 1 skein color B

It looks like a traditional top, then you turn around the see the buttons up the back, Leave the bottom few open for ease in wearing.

3 skeins of Contemplation (linen lace) make all sizes.

Saturday. The day when you can do as you wish, not as you must, including what you decide to wear. Worked in cool, easy care linen Drama, you may find yourself wearing this one on other days too.

A treasure of a cardigan. This cotton/Comfort can be worn at least 3 seasons.

Knit holding Comfort (cottonball) and Contemplation (linen lace) together. This gives you a large needle knit in an easy stockinette stitch. It is a sweater you will never take off.

The gentle rib pattern for the body results in a waist shaping that is just perfect. A suggestion of body curve that is very flattering, and does not involve decreases and increases.

Both yarns, Comfort and Contemplation are held together. The Contemplation adds a bit of stability to the Comfort (cotton) and the result is a wonderfully weighty fabric with lots of drape. If you live in the south and cannot wear wool, this is a perfect winter garment for you. I think of it as a southern sweatshirt.

A truly monstrous cowl. Knit with 8 skeins of Addiction (fingering yarn) in 8 different colors. It is almost sculptural with all the different components. Starts out easily enough and gradually becomes more interesting. Have fun knitting & wearing.

Colorways as shown on the model are “Kelp Beds” and “Graphite”

It takes 3 skeins and is the perfect quick knit and versatile summer garment.

Pick two different colors of Claudia Hand Painted Yarns’ Silk Lace and knit them together as one (gauge is given with the yarn doubled like this). The result is a cowl that delights every sense, especially if you keep it in a sandalwood drawer.

Influenced by a French-style hat this newsboy cap is knit in the round in Half-brioche stitch. The visor is added later, so you can make a hat without the visor, if you like.

This stunning shawl is begun at the lower back point and worked up. The knitted body of it is worked in garter stitch, with wrapped short rows for shaping. The long top edge is formed with an I-cord cast-off. Much of the glory and distinction of the piece is in the crocheted border: This is where the (1,400!) beads are used, and it gives immens...

The T-shirt in the model was knit in ‘Tropicana’ and ‘John B.’

“The tank top is shown with a skirt knitted out of Claudia Hand Painted Yarns, using a Louet pattern named Sasha,” explains Miller McClean. “The bottom of the tank replicates the pattern repeat of the bottom tier of the skirt.” This is an exuberant summer design, cool and flattering, with shoulders exactly the right width to hide lingerie strap...

Model was knit in ‘Thistle’ colorway

Ideally a skirt would be knitted in the round so you don’t have to sew up an uncomfortable seam, and you could wear it any way round (this one is). More ideally, it would be knitted top down, so you could try it on as you go and hit the perfect length (ditto). And it would be in a yarn that doesn’t pooch out, or “seat,” after you’ve sat (ditto ...

Have the best of all possible worlds in a summer tank. Either you have a splendid basic piece, extraordinarily easy to make and with a little hem option, or you can opt for the flirty lacy border at the bottom for more visual and knitterly interest. However you begin, it’s worked circularly to the armholes, then split for front and back (which ...

Knit from bottom to top, in three pieces plus two sleeves, armholes created when sewing side seams. The sample shown is in Linen yarn (5 skeins), in ‘Poppy’ colorway on size 9 needles. You can knit with or without any garter or rib to control rolling.

For men or women, this is one of the classiest pieces possible. And the pattern is written in a very freeform way. Because the overall fabric is ribbed, the cable will look good no matter which side it’s seen from, and the pattern itself counts on that. It’s interesting, but also almost impossible to make a mistake with it. No charts. No stress...

In the spirit of all things green, conserve energy by turning down your thermostate and wearing Warm Me Up. In the depths of winter, it can be worn under another sweater.
