  • More Crosshatching

    When I knit my Tar-Sgàil Socks and Mitts last year, I knew it was going to be the perfect pattern to turn into a hat and cowl set later – and I was right! This gorgeous textured rib pattern is really lush in DK yarn and has enough definition to stand up to moderately patterned […]

  • The Curlew’s Call

    When I knit Whitterick, I knew almost immediately that I wanted to turn the whole thing into a shawl as well. The texture and the drape are so beautiful that I wanted something I could really wrap myself in! I of course, made it with Lottie Knits Aglow DK. It may be my favourite DK […]

  • Burnished Copper

    Fingerless mitts in orange yarn with a twisted rib pattern that decreases to a point below the ring finger.

    For my latest pair of fingerless mitts I really wanted to play with twisted rib again. I also really wanted to make another pair similar to Dealas with a textured pattern across the back of the hand. So I combined the two ideas and we got Coppersmith! It’s a really fun pattern and once you’re […]

  • Fairy Arrows

    It has been so long since my last shawl pattern! The last was Breigichean on  17th August 2023 so just a few days short of a year. I hope you’re looking forward to this as much as I have! I fell in love with this gorgeous little arrow lace a long time ago but I’ve […]

  • In the Gloaming

    A close up on the heel and cuff of modelled socks with three panels of lace on the foot, knit in purple yarn

    These socks were not in the plan I made at the start of the year, but I’m so glad that things turned out this way! A shawl I’m working on is just taking me way too long to knit, so I decided to push the release back a bit and come up with a quick […]

  • Ryegrass

    A close up on the spine and border of a cowlette knit in purple yarn with two brioche patterns and two slipped stitch bands

    I’ve been really wanting to use brioche again in a design and I also wanted a small project that was quick to knit because I have a shawl design on my needles which is taking forever! Unfortunately, this design turned out to only be one of those things! I wanted a nice, light brioche pattern […]

  • Kingfisher

    A modelled pair of socks with a rippling cable pattern up the side, knit in grey yarn with blue, orange and white speckles

    Today I’m bringing you a pair of socks that has everything I love! It’s toe up socks. It’s got a simple pattern that’s easy to learn. It’s got a fun pattern that will keep you coming back for more. And, possibly most importantly, it’s got speckles! If socks are your thing or you want to […]

  • Feathered Lace

    A close up on the shoulder of a cowlette knit in brown yarn with a textured slipped stitch pattern on the body and a wide lace border

    I enjoyed knitting Rinlet, my first DK cowlette, so much I couldn’t wait to knit another one and the tail end of winter seemed like the perfect time to fit one in. The weather here has been cooperating too as we keep getting a hint of spring before the temperatures drop again, so I’ve appreciated […]

  • Slipping Up

    A pair of mitts with coloured stripes and slipped stitches on the back of the hand

    When I started working on my Elemental Mitts patterns I knew I wanted to make a fifth pattern which combined the colours of the other four and here it is! Na Ceithir Dùil means the four elements in Scottish Gaelic – the perfect name for my final elemental mitts!  Na Ceithir Dùil combines stripes of […]

  • Snow Showers

    I’ve really come to enjoy releasing hats for my last pattern of the year. They knit up quickly, figuring out the crown is challenging but fun and you can do so much with them! From October to March, I wear hats every time I go out and love having plenty of hats to choose from! […]
