It’s finally the day—my autumn capsule collection in collaboration with Malabrigo Yarns, Dancing Knits, is open for preorders! During my teens, my parents hosted a English country dance at our house every fall—we didn’t have a ton of formal events in our circle, so it was a special chance to dress up and party. I …
Pattern Release—Hoa Sen Tee
Today’s the day! Hoa Sen Tee is out in full. There are a lot of top-down circular yokes out there in the world, which gave me a bit of pause as I was formulating this design. I don’t want to design patterns that don’t add anything to the world. You’ll recall from my preorder post …
Pattern Preorder—Hoa Sen Tee
And just like that, it’s time for another pattern preorder. Please welcome Hoa Sen Tee! Hoa Sen is a top-down circular yoke tee with an architectural twisted stitch and lace pattern that mimics lotus flowers, graded to fit 12 sizes between 28″-72″ bust.

Pattern Release—Noblesse Oblige
They seek him here, they seek him there… Noblesse Oblige is out today! And if I do say so myself, this is a fun one. This post is going to be commensurately long, so if you just want to know where you can get this and what the discount code is, skip thou to the …
Pattern Release—Silence Tee
“Music is not in the notes, but in the the silence between.” ~ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Silence Tee is out today! I’ve been blathering about it on here nonstop for the past few weeks, so I’ll be brief here. The biggest thing I have to say is how thankful I am to and for every …

It’s graded for an inclusive range, with 12 sizes to fit 32″-74″ bust, and there are lots of ways to customize the fit. If I do say so myself, it’s one …
Pattern Release—Thaw
Today’s release is a special one. My supervisor at SweetGeorgia Yarns, Tabetha Hedrick, suggested that I create a capstone design to close out my time as a Designer in Residence at SweetGeorgia. She wanted me to push myself, try out some skills I hadn’t used before. Thaw is the result. Thaw is an a-line pullover …
Pattern Release—Glimpses of Winter
Crocheters, I’ve got a new one for you today! After releasing Glimpses of Autumn last year, I knew I wanted to revisit the same bias triangle shape, but with mini-skeins instead of a gradient. Minis give the design more flexibility, since crocheters can make personalized choices regarding how many colors to use, where to change …
Pattern Release—Fallen Embers Hat
Most release days I know exactly what to say. I’ve been practicing the bubbly chatter and the rattling off of all the pattern details for a while now. A lot of times it’s all rehearsed and planned out weeks in advance. This time I haven’t planned anything, and the bubbles aren’t working today. Of course, …
Pattern Release—Cluaran Hat and Mittens
It’s time to wrap up 2021—with one final release! Today’s release is actually two separate patterns, the Cluaran Hat and the Cluaran Mittens. After the Cluaran Cowl came out in October, I realized I wanted to put the same thistle motif on all kinds of other things. My first concept was a shawl (which may …
