The garments all manage that magical casually elegant vibe. They are the sort of pieces you can imagine wearing just about anywhere, which means you’ll wear them everywhere.
I love your patterns! They are so much fun and unique. I learn a new technic every time I knit one of your patterns.
Your patterns are lots of fun to knit, and the finished sweater is always awesome.
It really is a cute little kid’s knit and Erika is wearing it again today. That’s 3 times this week. That’s already more than some sweaters have ever been worn.
I just finished knitting your Avery sweater, and I must tell you that not only did it turn out to wonderfully, but it was a joy to knit.

Inspiration for Philodendron
Teen television dramas are one of my guilty pleasures. I also love watching period dramas, in part for the costumes and the knitwear designs they inspire. Reign, a show that focuses on Mary, Queen of Scots’ marriage to the Dauphin of France, offers the best of both of my TV watching passions.

Pattern
Bespoke Cardigan
I gave the gift of a bespoke cardigan pattern to my stepfather, Nigel. Featuring details of his choosing, I wrote a pattern for him to knit in exactly his size. Then I sized the pattern to fit 28-68″ inch/71-172.5 cm chests, and that is what is available here. Bespoke is a deliberately and thoughtfully gender- and size-inclusive design, featuring options for narrow and broad shoulders, and regular and tall lengths.

Stretchy Twisted Bind Off for Ribbing
This is my latest favourite way to bind off for toe-up socks. There’s a spring built into this bind off that allows it to stretch over the heel when pulling on socks.
And I’ve got to say, I really quite like the zigzag effect when viewed from above.
