Though you can get some of these through Ravelry, all of my patterns are available for direct purchase here! (and in some cases - for FREE!)
Unless you're going through another site, I can only accept Cash Funded PayPal, but I'm working on alternatives.
Though I haven't figured out how to tell the shopping cart this, each of these is ALSO available to purchase in hard copy. The hard copies are more expensive (what with the cost of printing and purchasing the little sleeves etc), and will also incur shipping charges (which depend on your zip code). If you'd like to buy one in hard copy, please email me, and I'll send you a PayPal invoice...
Just Released!

Prairie Corn Sock
This sock, along with its mate, will be representing Illinois in an upcoming book called "50 Socks - 50 States," which will be published by Sirius Knitting Publications. Sirius Knitting's fearless leader (Dr. Laura Andersson) has brought a lot of designers (focusing on newer designers) together for this effort. Crystal Palace has provided all the yarn and will be handling wholesale distribution the CD when it's ready for prime time. For more pictures and details about the book (and other socks in it) check out Socks and More with CPY and SiriusKnitting's blog as well as www.Straw.com. If you stay tuned here, of course, I'll continue to toot my horn about my designs for the book, and the other sock I've designed for it.

Using your favorite sportweight yarn, this easy moebius scarf lets you try out the Moebius technique while maintaining a truly reversible fabric. It can be worn in a casual loop, keeping your chest warm if you used wool, or just draping attractively in lighter yarns; or it can be doubled for a cozy cowl effect. It uses Cat Bordhi's Moebius Cast On, which can be found in her book A Treasury of Magical Knitting, or online at the DIY Network and Cat demonstrates it on YouTube. |

This design was inspired by Miriam Feltons’ Icarus. It is closer to a faroese shape than her triangle, and has many layers of feathered ends, and uses beads! This shawl works well at a variety of gauges, on a variety of yarns… and can be successfully knit in lace-weight, light fingering, fingering, or even light sport-weight and still be marvelous. There are five sets of charts, each of which is comprised of two or three sections. It may sound hard, but actually it's no more than intermediate. I'm just thorough in my charting :-) In addition, the pattern includes two options - a wide version, and a narrower version. These versions may be offered separately in the future. $12.00 CASH FUNDED PayPal for pdf download. 
Many thanks to the gracious and generous women who test knit this pattern for me: Janna C. Lawrence, Carla Willingham and Deidre Kennedy. Without them, the charts would NOT be right! |

This lacy fingerless glove has a touch of ribbing at the wrist to improve the fit. The simple lace pattern extends into the thumb, but disappears for the palm so that it won't catch on little things when you pick them up. Great for 'tweens! Great for adults too! And, because of the stretchy nature of the lace pattern, they fit a wide range of hands. They use a single skein of DK weight yarn. $5.00 CASH FUNDED Paypal for pdf download. |

Please use it to make a scarf for OFA (and for yourself or family and friends, of course!) I will contribute 50% of all proceeds from the sale of this scarf to the OFA. $5.00 for pdf download. |
