Pattern: Colour Shift Cowl
  • This cowl comes in two lengths and uses alternating stripes of changing widths to create a visually striking pattern. Full written instructions are included as well as brief directions and colour block charts for more experienced knitters.
Sock Knitting Guide: Formula Method
  • After struggling to find a way to fit my non-standard feet into all of the beautiful sock patterns out there, I decided to try another method. This 'formula' takes seven measurements to make sure any socks will fit perfectly on the intended foot. The post also includes a brief overview of the various sock-knitting options (such as varieties of heel and toe construction, or what needles to use).
  • A short photo guide to knitting wrap-and-turn short rows. Perfect for sock heels!

With that in mind I am in the process of creating a series that goes through the entire process from equipment selection to binding off, looking at all the different options and techniques along the way.
