Beginner Knitting

WEEKEND WALKING MITTS
Winter activities: Do you walk your dog, pump gas, have to find your keys, glasses, credit card in your purse or pocket? Then you know how difficult it is to do these very normal things with mittens or gloves on. These mitts solve the problem and keep your hands toasty, while looking beautifully classic and showing off your cabling prowess. They make a great gift, too, for a guy or a gal.

SAME BUT DIFFERENT COWL
Some things just have to be knit! This cowl is really special, with a beautiful mosaic motif, refined to the max. The beautiful pattern changes and expands as you work the top-down design and it ends with a neat I-cord bindoff for an elegant finish. Choose two contrasting colors, light or dark background!

SOCKS WITH AFTERTHOUGHT HEEL

HOLIDAY DOODLE STOCKING
Love Fair-Isle knitting?? Me too! This stocking is amazingly fun. You choose the colors – just two? Or maybe half a dozen! You choose the motifs to include – all snowflakes? Or holly, presents and hot chocolate – whatever says “Holiday” to you!
Change the background colors or keep it the same throughout.
That’s what doodling is all about!

A traditional wool, beautiful Aran motifs, and lovely features such as set-in pockets, a substantial button band and modern construction – well, it’s the sweater you’ll love to wear for years and years, and you’ll be proud to say “I knit this!”
I made a few mods, of course, and will be here to guide you through each step of the process, from fit to finishing.
