  • Lace Twill

    I have been looking forward so much to knitting more shortie socks – they’re all the fun parts of knitting socks (toes and heels) with none of the boring bits (the leg!) I knew I wanted something lacy because we’re thinking summery and I added the rib to give the edges a little more stability. […]

  • Lush Leaves

    A close up on the top edge of a cowl with a cascading lace leaf pattern knit in a gradient yarn from pale yellow to green.

    For my April pattern I really wanted something that felt like spring. I always look forward to seeing all the trees out my window covered in leaves again, and I knew this cascading leaf pattern was going to be perfect for a cowl. I had a little trouble finding anyone with green yarn in stock, […]

  • Wild and Untamed

    A pair of fingerless mitts with a twisted rib and lace faux cable pattern, knit in a pale blue yarn

    This release is really exciting for me because, as well as being my first pattern of 2025, it’s also my 100th pattern! For my 100th pattern I wanted to make something that was very me and really shows who I am as a designer. I think Rammage is the perfect pattern for that! Rammage is […]

  • More Crosshatching

    When I knit my Tar-Sgàil Socks and Mitts last year, I knew it was going to be the perfect pattern to turn into a hat and cowl set later – and I was right! This gorgeous textured rib pattern is really lush in DK yarn and has enough definition to stand up to moderately patterned […]

  • The Curlew’s Call

    When I knit Whitterick, I knew almost immediately that I wanted to turn the whole thing into a shawl as well. The texture and the drape are so beautiful that I wanted something I could really wrap myself in! I of course, made it with Lottie Knits Aglow DK. It may be my favourite DK […]

  • Burnished Copper

    Fingerless mitts in orange yarn with a twisted rib pattern that decreases to a point below the ring finger.

    For my latest pair of fingerless mitts I really wanted to play with twisted rib again. I also really wanted to make another pair similar to Dealas with a textured pattern across the back of the hand. So I combined the two ideas and we got Coppersmith! It’s a really fun pattern and once you’re […]

  • Fairy Arrows

    A close up on a the lace border of a shawl with garter stitch knit in pale yellow speckled yarn

    It has been so long since my last shawl pattern! The last was Breigichean on  17th August 2023 so just a few days short of a year. I hope you’re looking forward to this as much as I have! I fell in love with this gorgeous little arrow lace a long time ago but I’ve […]

  • In the Gloaming

    A close up on the heel and cuff of modelled socks with three panels of lace on the foot, knit in purple yarn

    These socks were not in the plan I made at the start of the year, but I’m so glad that things turned out this way! A shawl I’m working on is just taking me way too long to knit, so I decided to push the release back a bit and come up with a quick […]

  • Ryegrass

    A close up on the spine and border of a cowlette knit in purple yarn with two brioche patterns and two slipped stitch bands

    I’ve been really wanting to use brioche again in a design and I also wanted a small project that was quick to knit because I have a shawl design on my needles which is taking forever! Unfortunately, this design turned out to only be one of those things! I wanted a nice, light brioche pattern […]

  • Kingfisher

    A modelled pair of socks with a rippling cable pattern up the side, knit in grey yarn with blue, orange and white speckles

    Today I’m bringing you a pair of socks that has everything I love! It’s toe up socks. It’s got a simple pattern that’s easy to learn. It’s got a fun pattern that will keep you coming back for more. And, possibly most importantly, it’s got speckles! If socks are your thing or you want to […]
