Argyle Pattern Pillow
Lately all of the patterns I have been creating are ideas cast off in the process of making earlier ones. Its been nice that I can immediately go from project to project without spending to much time designing new patterns. Then again I’ve been so busy with other projects that I’ve not had to […] more…
One-Off Diamond Redux Pillow
I will admit when it comes to yarn I have been known to generally be good about impulse purchases. That being said, I do have a sizable stash of lace weight yarn in various colors and materials. I figured it was time to start working with them producing a series of one-off pillows… and […] more…
Irregardless Pattern Pillow
Originally this pattern design was going to end up in the “not quite right” pile of ideas, but sometimes you have to take a chance. Etsy Listing if you would like one for yourself :: Pattern Information more…
WIP – Diamond Redux Pattern
I think this color combination will work…now to find the motivation to start the sewing process. more…
Blocking Board – Diamond Redux Pattern

I am really getting tired of making baby blankets if I’m actively working on sewing projects. I haven’t gotten a chance to post all the baby blanket progress pictures here but I […] more…
Eternal Loop Pattern Pillow
Given the decoration on the headboard of the bed it seemed appropriate to display the newly completed pillow there. While some of the design intention is lost when the square is actually draped over a pillow form i think I actually like it better this way. I would say I’m making a significant […] more…
WIP – Diamond Pattern
Sometimes you make a spur of the moment yarn purchase only to then realize it wasn’t the best idea. I really like the color of this silver grey thread… but it’s not my normal brand and it’s acrylic. I have no problem with either but the thread was a little to thick for my […] more…
WIP – Irregardless Pattern
Sometimes even though a pattern doesn’t quite follow the “rules” of the patterns you normally design and you’re a little concerned you’re overusing a motif you decide you’re going to make it “irregardless”. more…
Blocking Board – Windowpane Tartan Pattern
So after a brainstorming session with a friend a more appropriate name than “Tartan Redux” was settled upon. I should have the second square done within the week and the pillow finished soon after. more…
