I designed and knit these socks for my wonderful tattoo artist, Kim Reed. It’s a fun knit, you can change the colors as you wish, of course. The size can easily be changed by adjusting the foot length of the sock as directed in the pattern.

I designed and knit this scarf for my daughter, Shannon’s 2012 Valentine’s gift.

This scarf is similar to my original Hope Scarf pattern with yummy additions like cabled edging and ICord cast on and bind off for a lovely effect!

I designed and knit these cute slippers for my daughter. The bit of sparkle in SWTC’s Little Star yarn is just the right touch of glitz for the “sparkly” lady!

This pattern requires approximately 150 gr. of sock weight yarn. You may choose to use leftover sock yarn for the toes and heels (let your imagination be your guide!), if so, you may get by with 100 gr. of sock yarn - keep an eye on your yarn and leg length!

These socks are a fun, simple, quick knit for the man in your life! A simple slip stitch pattern with a stockinette “panel” on each side of the sock.

This sock has a different pattern on the instep/front of leg and the back of the leg!! LOTS OF FUN!

This sock design is knit with the “A Touch of Whimsy” design pattern that I used in accessories of the same name. This pattern creates a long leg, using the lace/cable design - unlike A Touch of Whimsy Socks, which is a folded cuff.

Cuff down socks with a picot edge, lace/cable design cuff which folds down over a St. st. leg. Short row heel & St. st. foot. Very fun knit!

KnitPicks Dancing is discontinued, any variegated/multi-color sock yarn will do fine as the Main Color. I used 1 skein (253 yds) and 10-15% of the 2nd skein, approx. 300-360 yds.(depending on gauge; personal knitting style, i.e. tight or loose knitter, etc).

I designed and knit this scarf as a part of the Pay It Forward Exchange that I and many others are a part of & the name of the scarf, “Hope” comes from the concept of the exchange.

I designed and knit these socks for 1 of my best friends. It would be nice for you to surprise a friend with a pair of socks, what a wonderful display of friendship! If your best friend is a guy, don’t despair! Look around, you’ll find your guy’s sock pattern on Ravelry, too!

Any sock yarn will make a wonderful substitution.

Pattern is featured Jan. 2-5 in the 2009 Knitting Pattern a Day Calendar

Designer description: This stitch pattern is NOT stretchy like a normal rib stitch pattern which is why I have both increased the number of stitches and needle size from those that I normally use when designing men’s socks.

Can substitute 100g of another sock yarn.

Pattern requires approximately 1/2 hank of Malabrigo, depending upon your gauge.

I knitted these hand towels to match the Flower Power Washcloths. As I was taking pictures I noticed that they were also the perfect size for placemats…the choice is your’s, hand towel or placemat?! And…..

We have heard the phrase “Just say No” for years, well, since I began knitting my answer to stress, pain, heartache, etc (the list goes on and on) has been knitting. So, I say….alt text ”JUST SAY KNIT.”

I enjoy watching the DIY network show, Knitty Gritty. The motto of the show host,

I often feel like I KNIT TO LIVE & LIVE TO KNIT!

I often feel like I LIVE TO KNIT and KNIT TO LIVE!

I now and always will consider myself a YARN GIRL, how ‘bout you?!

LOL, do you ever feel like you would do just about anything for yarn?! I do…ask my husband! I am a Yarn Girl, yes….but, sometimes I just feel like a YARN HO! What about

I designed these socks in 2006.

The pattern includes instructions for two different sized cloths: 11” (28cm) square or 14” x 7”.

This is my first design! I was so fortunate that KnitPicks published these socks back in 2005, a short 6 months after I’d begun knitting! They are now located on my design site. They were formerly available on the Knitpicks site but have been removed since the yarn I used is now discontinued.
