Desert Ripple Lace Scarf or Indian Ripple Lace Scarf

I decided to take a look back at all my posts and see if I missed any of my designs that are available. To start here is my very first pattern that I put online in Ravelry and Craftsy! This scarf was a fun pattern to develop.  I love the colors it is worked in.  They are from KnitPicks Palette, a fingering weight yarn. The pattern stitch is a revision of the porcupine stitch. I really liked the ripple pattern, but felt that my version came out nicer! I have also had it put on the Knitpicks website under the title--Desert Ripple Lace Scarf, so you can purchase from there if you desire.  Here are the links:

Raspberry Cream Pi Shawl

Hello my knitting friends!
How glorious May is with its promising Spring, fresh leaves, and warmer weather! With Mother's Day coming I have designed a shawl pattern that would be perfect for mom.  It would also because of its light weight yarn (fingering) be wonderful to wear on those breezy chilly evenings or summer days!  It is knitted with KnitPicks Palette yarn, (which has so many wonderful colors to pick from).  I used a lovely pink yarn that reminded me of raspberry cream pie! And being made by inspiration of that famous Pi formula from Elizabeth Zimmerman--it is fairly easy to knit.  It features lots of lace stitches.

You can buy the pattern for immediate download from either of these two places:

The Enchanted Fern Neck Cozy

April is here, and with it, are lots of changes in the weather.  It is still cold out here in Maine, though we have our warm days. How about knitting this delightful lacy neck cozy? It uses a wonderful new fern stitch that I created, as well as leafy borders and an accent of a mock cable stitch. If you use fingering weight yarn it will be airy and light yet still retain its warmth.

Here are links to buy this pattern!

Lacy Forest Fern Scarf

Hello everyone!
Easter is almost here, and spring is on its way! What an exciting time of year!  I love spring--it is a season with so much promise and so much inspiration!  Here is my  inspiration for spring--my newest scarf. It features a lovely new fern pattern, lace edges that look like a winding forest path, mock cable stitch, and the border has leaf motifs. I think it came out so pretty with the vibrant green fingering weight yarn from knitpicks palette. Here are links to buy this pattern. Enjoy!
