Knit in Juniper Moon Farm Chadwick. Still need to write the pattern...

Knit in Juniper Moon Farm Willa. Pattern coming soon!

Knit in 11 balls Noro Odori #4 with unikite natural stone buttons.  This was an exercise in "wonder what if I did it this way."

The sweater was made in two pieces, starting at the cuff and working to center of garment, then grafted together. It worked but does not give the best fit so will probably not write a pattern for this design; it would be better made a different way. But at least it shows this beautiful bulky yarn made into a warm jacket.

This pattern is written for Alafoss & Lett Lopi. I knit it with 5 Alafoss Lopi #9972, 3 Noro Hitsuji #6 and 2 Noro Hitsuji #4.

Was sorting colors and this came to me in a dream. It's made of 6 shades of Araucania Milodon. The body is 1" squares; the sleeves are striped.

I liked working with this yarn. Normally I am not overly fond of random dyed yarn because of the pooling, but I really liked the hat and mitts I made earlier, and do like the sweater!

This is a slimmed down version, as the smallest size in the pattern was finished at 47".

Hat takes one ball of Katia Inca and the pattern is available free with a yarn purchase. With the Aloha neck garter, you wear the skein...nothing to do!

I started to make a sweater in Nadeshiko and this colorway was just not being what I wanted it to be, so decided on mittens and ear warmers. The yarn is 40% angora, 39% wool and 21% silk in a chunky weight. 1 ball of yarn will make both items.

I just finished knitting this out of Noro Silk Garden Sock Yarn, love the way it came out. From Knit Noro with modifications to ribbing, neck, gauge and changed from drop sleeve to raglan sleeve.

I've been knitting a lot of hats to show what various yarns look like knit up. This one uses 2 balls of Katia Fabula, and the pattern is available free with a yarn purchase.

Uses 1 ball of Araucania Coliumo and the pattern is available free with a yarn purchase.

Uses 1 ball of Araucania Azapa and the pattern is available free with a yarn purchase.

Shows what Araucania Liwen looks like knit up. There were enough leftovers from the skein used for the hat to make one mitten. This is color #13.

These socks are knit in Noro Taiyo Sock Yarn from the pattern I teach socks on with circular 12" needles. This pattern is free with any purchase of Noro sock yarn.

I don't have a pattern written up for this, but it shows Noro Shirakaba in a garment knit sideways.

This is my Amplitudes pattern knit in Jojoland Superwash Rhythm.

This is my Amplitudes pattern knit in Noro Taiyo rather than Kureyon.

This pattern was a free download written for another yarn. I knit it in Araucania Lenga.
