Patterns
Lace work
- A collection of knitted lace shawls, stoles and wimples. Many were done in handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.
Socks and small knits
- These are all handknitted socks and other small items. Most of these were knitted from my own handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.
(Most of the Celtic designs came from Celtic Charted Designs by Co Spinhoven, an excellent and inexpensive resource.)
Doll Knits
- A collection of (mostly) knitted doll clothing.
Sweaters
- Back in the dark ages (as in pre-1987), I used to knit sweaters. Nowadays, I rarely do, so I'll use this album to record some of what I have done and may yet to be.
Blankets and woven items
- Mostly handwoven items, mostly from commercial yarns.
Yarns and fiber
- An assortment of fibers and handspun yarns.
Variegated Dyeing

I've been working on spinning laceweight, and have had Shetland on my mind lately. Where are yours coming from? I have a small sample here that's white with black hairs sprinkled through it, and I'd *love* to find more like that!

Mine are coming from Twin Springs Farm. I don't have the list of sheep handy, but they have a wide range of colors and patterns.

Shearing? Does that mean this interminable winter will have an end!?

It probably just means a lot of cold sheep!
