This project has been a journey for me, and there’s a story connected to it that I want to share with you. In February 2015, I spent a few days in Munich, teaching knitting workshops. The weeks before, Geli, my mother-in-law, had not been feeling well and I knew she was seeing the doctor while…
The sweltering summer heat can make it impossible to want to do anything — even knit! But when temperatures soar, I enjoy working with delicate laceweight yarns like Pascuali Alpaca Royal, a supersoft blend of alpaca and baby alpaca. Winter On My Mind is the perfect shawl to knit while longing for cooler days. With…
With everything we do, we leave traces on this planet. And not only on this planet – but also on the Moon! Did you know that the tracks the Apollo 14 crew left on the moon surface are still very visible?

As I was walking the streets of Berlin while teaching at the Berlin Knits Festival 2017, I couldn’t help but imagine this asymmetrical triangle shawl. The basketweave mosaic section blends perfectly into garter stitch stripes, with a striking pattern combination reminiscent of Berlin’s cobbled pedestrian plazas and neat rows of buildings. Knitting it with bold…

Under the Milky Way is knit from the top down, with a generous garter stitch body setting off the “stars” along the edge. Choose any of the galactic colorways…
Walk Your Way is my tribute to the extraordinary primatologist, Dian Fossey (born 6th of January 1932 in San Francisco, California; found dead on 27th of December 1985 at the Karisoke Research Center, Rwanda), who devoted her life to the study and preservation of mountain gorillas in Rwanda.
