The stitches roll through this rich cable pattern like the sun
peeking from behind clouds on a rough and choppy day on
the water. Worked in a nice chunky yarn that lets the cables
pop to the surface, this hat is a fun way to play with texture
and stitches.

Die Maschen dieses Musters tauchen auf und unter wie die
Sonne, die an einem rauhen Tag durch die Wolken bricht und
sich in den Wellen reflektiert.
Die Mütze, gestrickt aus einer dicken, flauschigen Wolle, ist
eine Spielerei von Maschen und Struktur, in der das Zopfmuster
wie in Wellen an die Oberfläche gehoben wird.

Sur ce bonnet, les mailles roulent et rebondissent, comme les éclats
de soleil qui se reflètent sur la mer en perçant les nuages. Ces torsades
simples, travaillées en laine épaisse, sont une amusante façon
de créer de la texture.
Il est proposé en deux tailles, moyen et (large).

Cloches are particularly sweet hats, framing short do’s and pushing longer tresses forward. The Sima Cloche pairs cleverly structured slipped stitches with short row construction to create an upturned decorative rim. The mosaic pattern is worked with only one color at a time, a deceptively simple technique with classical appeal.

This cowl is deep and cozy, with lovely lines of contrasting color and pert garter ridges to give it both comfort and beauty. The Cornice Cowl works up quickly and gracefully, with a fun Greek key detail worked in mosaic stitches that keep the knitting interesting and draw the eye.
Use one color per row, no stranding or carrying yarn necessary!

Nymphea

 

This top down shawl is named after the wild waterlilies, though you may only see a few lilypads and flowers on the surface, the plant underneath the water is much larger with leaves on long underwater stems tangling like vines and buds growing upwards.
Delicate lace patterns intersect and converge, depicting the various parts of the lovely water lily: buds, flowers, stems and lilypads.

Riversong

When beaver dams invite to slow,
I spread out wide and deep I grow.
Lingering here I see a fawn,
a silent heron, looking on.

Wild roses dot the banks I see,
showering petals onto me,
and waterlily pink in bloom,
I see in ponds I pass in June!

This top down shawl is named after the local state flower, Mountain Laurel (or Kalmia Latifolia) that grows in abundance in higher elevation in wetter areas. The sun-drenched scent that reminds me of kayak paddles on peaceful lakes.

Sometimes your favorite knits are the littlest knits. These charming boot toppers will keep your feet on the ground and your fires stoked when the chill finds you from every possible direction.They will liven up dreary days with a bit of wooly color.
The Imbrex Boot Toppers work up quickly in the round and play with a mosaic slipped stitch pattern, so you need only manage one strand at a time.
