YAR! Beanie Hat from the ANTICRAFT Crafter's Book

I made mine in Angora. It's double knit and took forever, but I really like that it's reversible.

Hip Hop, Punk & Couture

I knit this executioner / ski mask for my friend, DB. People said it looked scary, which is actually what he wanted.


Another beanie for Jonesy. He plays soccer (football in the UK) and told me what he wanted it to say...




Armwarmers from the Pretty in Punk knitting book. I made them longer and in wool though.

Angora Blend Shawl Collar Cardigan

I love this. The pattern is from Total Crochet by Gayle Bunn. I used Classic Elite Avalon angora blend yarn. There were a few mistakes in the pattern, but they were easy to fix.

Twinkle Big City Knits Bolero Jacket

I knit this with one strand of mohair and one strand of novelty yarn and it knit to gauge. I used a single strand of the novelty around the border to make it look "Couture". I needed to put a button on the neckline though because the yarn is heavy and it falls down in front.


I've been making these shawls and ponchos for charity. The poncho pattern is free on the Lion Brand Yarn website.

Cute Stuff

I seriously like this hat...and this man. Gael Garcia Bernal in a Dior Couture knit Mohawk hat.



I went on a Kitty Hat binge and made three. I crocheted the black one so it was much faster to make.

Blue Sky Alpaca Cropped Cardigan (with 2 inches added to the length) in Diakeito Diadomina (my favorite yarn, next to Noro Silk Garden).



Rowan Racerback Vest in Patons Soy Stripes. I like this yarn too.



Rebecca jumper top in Bernat Haven


Cool Extra Long Crocheted Legwarmers


It's not always about me. I make a lot of baby items to donate to the Stitches from the Heart non-profit knitting store in Santa Monica.
