I wanted to knit a little sock that would fit a teabag, a trinket and a sweet for an Advent garland or single sock gift. All of the patterns were for smaller socks, so I created my own.
This Chubby Little is not in correct proportions, but fits the bill perfectly. Each sock uses 15-20g of sock yarn - great for sock leftovers.
I may write this up as a pattern, would you be interested? Let me know in the comments.

My St Louis/Chicago Road Trip socks are blocking. These were created from an OOAK Sock blank by .
Sock blanks are my favorite for road trips. No balls rolling away. I’m impressed with the eco-consciousness of - using sock blanks instead of paper towels while she’s dying her yarn. Saving trees and reducing landfill waste along the way is the cherry on top. And I knit a beautiful pair of socks.
Sock details: vanilla sock with afterthought heel. Perfect project for visiting and to grab and go.

Finally finished the kilts socks that I started December 2023. My husband loves them! (I don’t have sock blockers for kilt socks, so he’s wearing them damp first to open the stitches.)
I designed the cuff, but modified the Fragment Socks pattern by to work as a kilt sock. A little math and tweaking the pattern provided the room for the calves.
This is the third pair of kilt socks that I have knit for him. The others have been hit or miss for the fit. This pair is spot on. It will be another few years before I knit another pair. Knitting these takes forever, but he’s worth it.

Our world has become so polarized. Friendships are ending. Family ties are cut. Why? Because we don’t agree or think the same. What a boring world this would be if we were all alike. We come in all shapes and sizes, color and cultures. All of these differences bring richness to our world.
These fingerless mitts celebrate our diversity. Parallel cables twist in opposite directions, but they always return.
The mitts are knit flat and seamed.

A Downton Wedding

Mr. Carson surprised us all with his proposal to Mrs. Hughes at the end of last season. Downton fans are anticipating another special event - a Downton Wedding is absolutely beautiful.
Traditionally I knit a shawl for the brides. With brides on
my mind this summer, I was inspired to created a sampler shawl for Mrs. Hughes. Each section of the sampler depicts a word of encouragement from the previous brides of Downton Abbey. We begin with Sybil, her short marriage was filled with STRENGTH of conviction for her deep love of Tom Branson. Daisy's marriage lasted a few short hours. Despite her reservations, she honored William's SWEET LOVE by giving him the desire of his heart. Mary's engagement to Matthew began with ROMANCE surrounded by snowflakes. Our wild, impetuous Rose gained TRANQUILITY when she married Atticus. Who can forget Anna's perseverance as she gripped HOPE throughout her marriage to Mr Bates. I hope that you enjoy reminiscing with the past brides of Downton Abbey.

Bejeweled

There is a scene at the end of the first Hobbit movie where the director pans through the treasure vault inside the Lonely Mountain. You see green scales peeking out from piles of jewels and treasure. Everything seems peaceful and then....Smaug’s eye suddenly opens.
This scene from the Hobbit inspired another shawl — Bejeweled. The slight boomerang shape is embellished with eyelets spotted with beads reflecting the jewels in the Lonely Mountain. I envisioned Smaug’s back and tail sparking with jewels as I created the border. The alternating spike sizes provide some whimsical fun.

Light and Shadows

Imagine sitting under a shade tree overlooking a field of wildflowers. Some of the flowers are shaded by the passing clouds while others shine in the sunlight. That is the inspiration for the Light and Shadow shawl. Pick out you favorite self striping yarn and sit under a tree enjoying the light and shadows of your day.

The center spine triangle is enhanced with texture created by Stockinette and Reverse Stockinette stitches. The peek-a-boo slits are surrounded by garter rows. The slits are created by binding off on one row and casting the stitches back in the next row.

Smaug 1968

Long ago I gave my husband a 1968 Mustang convertible as a gift. He named this beautiful car Smaug because of its deep green exterior and his love of The Hobbit. At the first sign of spring we would jump in the car and cruise the shoreline of Long Island with the top down. The Summer Tunes cassette would be blaring in the player as the wind blew through my hair. What joyful memories.

My memories, and The Hobbit’s infamous dragon Smaug have inspired this lightweight shawl. Smaug exposes his chest in the center sweeping eyelets and cables. His scales wrap around you and his wings rise from the beautiful border. The gorgeous deep green yarn would compliment the shining exterior of my husband’s convertible.
My knitting passion was in its infancy in our cruising days. If I could relive those moments I would garb myself in this lovely shawl, ask Alexa to play some Beach Boys tunes, and enjoy the wind in my face. I hope you are inspired to take a cruise in the sunshine.

Watching Downton

Each Downton Abbey Season has been filled with surprises! I’m not
sure my heart can take another season without a knitting stress valve.

In 2013 my test knitters challenged me to create this sampler cowl.
They are a faithful group of ladies who are always up for a
challenge. I am not sure who received the greater challenge. This
has been a labor of love. Many life challenges have impeded the
publication of this pattern, but in the end I am victorious like many
of the characters in Downton Abbey.

This cowl design became an eclectic mix of patchwork, lace and
cable knitting. Each block finds its inspiration from a character living
in the manor house during Season Five. This cowl is organized into
9 sections which contain one to three block patterns.

I hope that you have as much fun with this cowl as we did. Enjoy.
