Ah, Taurus season … a chance for us to come back down to earth and our roots after the “race ahead” energy of Aries season. It’s time to slow down again and soak in the beauty that surrounds us as we appreciate the natural rhythms of nature. I’m so grateful to be spending this month in Costa Rica …
Read MoreAries is a special season for both our resident astrologer Ramona and myself. It was at Ramona’s birthday party on April 2nd, 2010 (the night before her actual bday) that I met my longtime partner Nick! So we both have a lot to celebrate in the coming weeks. Aries marks the actual beginning of the zodiac calendar …
Read MoreI like to think of Pisces season as a time to regroup, envision what I want next, and make a plan to get there. It’s the “law of attraction” part of zodiac for me, so I’m hoping to use this month ahead to really focus and dream about what I want the rest of the year to look like.
Read MoreIf you’re anything like me, post-holiday cabin fever has started to creep in and I have the itch to go back into the scene. Perfect timing for Aquarius season, which is all about social events and innovation. I love the first couple weeks of January to reset after the hustle bustle …
Read MoreKicking off the year with a project that was one of my most requested designs from 2023 - a crochet version of my MODular Knit Quilt! The MODular Crochet Quilt is nearly identical to its knit sister, with the same modular log cabin construction, only this time it’s worked up in speedy double crochet.
Read MoreAlthough it’s not the true beginning of the astrology calendar (that’s Aries!), Capricorn does mark the beginning of the year. Personally I never set any hard and fast “resolutions,” but I love the idea of a refresh and a new beginning. This time of year …
Read MoreI might be biased since this is my sign, but Sagittarius season is one of my faves. There is a festive aura in the air with the holidays approaching, and the excitement of the first snowfall (in the northern hemisphere!) and seeing twinkle lights adorn houses is always so fun. With this new season also comes a new square for our blanket of course :)
Read MoreWelcome to Scorpio season! With Halloween around the corner, this is my absolute favorite time of year. Our third square is here and I can’t wait to add it to the blanket :)
Read MoreWelcome to Libra season and the start of fall months in the northern hemisphere! Our second square is here and it’s one of my faves in the whole blanket :)
Read MoreWelcome to Virgo season and the official start of the Zodiac Icons Blanket KAL! Our first square is here and she’s a (literal) beauty :)
Read MoreReady to grab your Zodiac Icons Blanket kit but not sure which colors to choose? I got you! This year-long mystery KAL will feature one main color and three contrast colors. Whether you choose to base your combo on your home decor (like I did) or on your astrological chart
Read MoreI’ll be honest - I love the concept of a quilt but I don’t love the typical traditional aesthetic of a quilt. I’m not a fan of the country style Americana vibe, but in recent years there’s been a movement toward a more minimalist, modern quilt style which I can totally get behind. Enter the MODular Knit Quilt.
Read MoreNo your eyes are not deceiving you - the new knit Fête Stole is nearly identical to its sister pattern, the crochet Soirée Stole released 10 days ago! While there are a few small differences (read on to find out what they are!), in photos these babies are basically twins.
Read MoreThe moment Thanksgiving hits I am instantly in a festive mood and ready to sport all of the sparkles, velvets, metallics, and (faux) furs - anyone else? I love the way the city lights up even more with all of the twinkle lights this time of year, and it just feels like you’re walking in a holiday movie set. My new pattern, the Soirée Stole, captures that feeling …

Read MoreRevisiting the Streamline Tank while designing the new crochet Borderline Tank reminded me how much I love the geometric Art Deco detailing of the half fisherman’s rib along the neckline of these garments. I have been wanting to design something else with a similar detail and with fall approaching …
Read MoreSay hello to my new favorite wrap! After many requests for a knit version of the Resonance Wrap, I took the plunge and worked out an equally (if not more!) beautiful design and I'm so glad I did. The Reverb Wrap uses a fun mini bobble-type stitch to mimic the mesmerizing texture of the original crochet pattern and the results are stunning.
Read MoreIt's fairly common for me to get an abundance of requests for a crochet version of a new knitting pattern, and vice versa, but I don't think I've consistently received so many passionate pleas for such over the course of several years for any design as much as my knit Streamline Tank. Well, the day has finally arrived folks!
Read MoreMy favorite thing about Color Theory yarn is putting together little color combo families. Because all of the colors go so well with each other and the palette spans the rainbow and includes a solid set of six neutrals, there are so many possibilities for "fades."
