Sheep are the source of the beautiful, luxurious wool that many knitters use to knit their creations. They can also be darned cute! The Counting Sheep Scarf has an entire herd of sheep along its length, in two different colors. Depending on the yarn you use, it can have white and black sheep, blue and yellow sheep, purple and green sheep, or whatever color combination you can imagine! If you’re counting, there are 55 sheep on each side of the scarf. The scarf also comes in handy for insomnia — counting the sheep should put you right to sleep!

Tetris is one of my all time favorite games. Something about how the blocks fit together speaks to me. I designed the Tetris Prism Scarf to feature a Tetris game on both ends, with falling blocks along the length of the scarf. Each end has two different possible designs you can choose to knit, for either a well played game or a poorly played game! I imagine it as two people playing a Tetris battle.

Double knit, this scarf is fully reversible, featuring opposite color schemes on each side. Tetris is a colorful game, so I used a rainbow colored yarn to really make the pieces pop.

As a cat owner and a knitter, I know it goes without saying that keeping cats away from yarn is a project in itself. With the Cattitude Scarf, I wanted to show the playfulness of a cat going after a ball of yarn, with the yarn trailing all down the length of the scarf. Double knit, the scarf is fully reversible, featuring opposite color schemes on each side.

“Flow State” or being “in the zone” describes a person being completely absorbed in what they are doing. This often leads to higher productivity and greater enjoyment of the task. Flow state is exactly how I feel about knitting. When I really get into a rhythm, the stitches just flow. It is almost a form of meditation, which helps me relax and reduce stress.

I named this scarf “Flow State”, not only to represent this form of concentration when knitting, but also to represent the flow of a river. The curves flow along the length of the scarf just as a river flows around its banks. The scarf is thick and squishy, perfect for cold weather days. The ribbed pattern is also reversible.

Fractals have always fascinated me. They are a beautiful combination of mathematics and art. At its most basic level, a fractal is a pattern that looks similar at every level of magnification. The Dragon Curve Fractal is the fractal featured in the chapter headings for Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton.

I designed this scarf to show off the lacy design of the Dragon Curve Fractal. It is a medium weight, double knit scarf that features the fractal repeated all along the length of the scarf. Contrasting yarns show off the design, especially if one of the yarns is a variegated yarn. The length of the scarf is customizable, depending on how many repeats of the charts are worked.

I’m excited to announce that I just published my very first knitting pattern, the Fire Dragon Scarf.

I made two versions of this scarf, one in black and a fire-themed colorway (Universal Yarns Classic Shades), and another in black and green (Cascade 220 Superwash). The last picture is myself and my boyfriend, Chris, using the scarves to keep warm in Yosemite in winter. I made the green and black one longer by lengthening the solid section, since he is much taller than me. I’ve always loved dragons, and these were so much fun to design and knit!
