Marina Hat

 

This is a super simple hat that will show off the yarns you choose. From the breezy shoreline inland, it’s the perfect hat to throw in a bag or coat pocket to have nearby. Wear a little slouchy, or take up slack in the rolled brim for a snug fit. Enjoy!

Moonrise Hat

This is a beautiful hat to showcase the yarns you choose. With a non-curling edge without ribbing, it stands out in its classic simplicity. Also a great mindless knit for knitting on the go or in your knitting groups. You don’t need to concentrate. There is a matching Moonrise Mitts pattern available. 

Enjoy!

Moonrise Mitts

 These fingerless gloves utilize a non-curling edge technique for Stockinette, an incredibly simple gusset with no live stitches on the thumb to finish later and a trouble-free thumb join with no gap. My absolute favorite pair now – simple to knit and beautiful to wear.

Free for the initial period.

Enjoy!

Tallulah Cowl

 

Named for Tallulah Bankhead, an American actress with London stage fame as well. Her career spanned from 1918 to 1968, and she is best known for her memorable performance in Alfred Hitchcock’s Lifeboat. This is a timeless, simple knit that is a great mindless project and a salute to a strong woman. Enjoy.

Ladybug Facecloth

Here’s a simple, natural fiber facecloth for a re-useable way to wash and clean make up off your face. Any cotton yarn in your stash will work. Make a stack from leftover yarns and gift to friends. This is a real stash buster.  And it's free. Enjoy!
