Well then… THAT didn’t turn out like I planned. 🤣. It is supposed to be the stem on a pumpkin. Don’t worry. It’ll be fixed for the final pumpkin head pattern. 🎃

🧶 Ready to level up your knitting?

If you've been wanting to try cable knitting but haven't quite worked up the nerve, these Easy Cable Fingerless Gloves are a great place to start.

They look more complicated than they actually are! The pattern is knit flat on straight needles, so there’s no fussing with DPN's, circular needles or complicated construction.

This is also a great transition project for moving from beginner patterns into more advanced knitting. I've included video tutorials to walk you through the cable stitches and increases, making it much easier to learn as you go.

The finished gloves are cozy, practical and impressive enough to make you look like you've been cable knitting for years.

Want to make a pair?

Comment "Easy cable fingerless gloves" and I'll send you the link to read the pattern on my website.

The second edition of the knitted spider beanie is a success! The brim is a bit wider than I would like but being double thick, makes it extra warm for those extra cold days ❄️🏂

Gosh darn it (I used much more colourful language in reality)! I was trying to add my spider motif to the band of my winter beanie hat but it isn’t working. You’d think by now I’d know that purling on the wrong side would cause it to roll up like this. Back to the drawing board 🙄😬.

Tired of knitting slippers that wear out way too quickly?

These Double Thick Sideways Slippers are made with extra-thick construction for a warmer, sturdier slipper that can stand up to everyday wear. And because they’re a relatively quick knit, you won’t have to spend forever making a pair!

They’re worked sideways on straight needles and include a comfortable cuff, with sizes for both men and women. Make yourself a pair now and you’ll have warm feet ready for those cold floors.

Simply say DOUBLE THICK SLIPPERS below and I’ll send you the link to the pattern!

Working on a new bo**ie slipper design!! It’s made with 2 strands of worsted weight yarn or one strand of super bulky. Being extra thick, they work up fast and take a long time to wear out. Knit flat on 2 needles, this may be your new favourite knitting pattern.

I’m hoping to have the pattern published on my website and on my online retailers like Etsy, Ravelry and Buy Me A Coffee before the long weekend 🤞🏼

Cozy feet with a little woodland charm. 🦌🧶

These knitted deer slippers have a warm cuff and a detailed deer design worked right into the top. They’re a fun project if you’re ready to tackle something a little more interesting, with plenty of photos throughout the pattern to help you along the way.

Make them for yourself, tuck a pair away for Christmas, or knit them for that one person who is absolutely impossible to buy for.

And yes, the full knitting pattern is FREE to read on my website!

Want the pattern? Say “Deer me, another knitting project!” in the comments and I’ll send you the link.

Some knitting patterns never go out of style.

My Bars and Stripes Knitted Dishcloth has been a favorite for years, and it's easy to see why. It's a relaxing knit with a timeless textured design that's as practical as it is satisfying. Knit flat on straight needles using simple knit and purl stitches, it's a great project for beginners and experienced knitters alike.

It also includes a full step-by-step video tutorial, so you can knit along with confidence from start to finish. 🧶

Like all my patterns, it's free to read on my website.
