Designs
My primary design goal is to produce flattering, wearable designs for every shape. Included in the “blurb” for each pattern, I offer tips on figure types and fit that are especially appropriate. Should you have any questions, comments, or (heaven forbid) find an error, please email me. I really, really want to hear from you.

The February Fitted Pullover (PDF). A fitted, 3/4 sleeve scoop-neck pullover in the gull lace pattern made popular by Elizabeth Zimmerman’s “February Baby Sweater”. The 3/4 length sleeves and scoop neck are flattering on a variety of body types, and are especially well-suited to the bustier among us. This sweater works dressed up for work or down for play and looks gorgeous in fancy, hand-painted yarns. Bust sizes measure 33 (36, 39.5, 43, 46, 50)”. Gauge: 17 stitches and 28 rows = 4″ in gull lace pattern. Shown in Dream in Color Classy, color Deep Seaflower, 3 (4, 4, 5, 5, 6) hanks. Last updated 03/01/2010, 8:53PM.

Arm Candy. A figure-conscious, elbow-sleeve V neck with seed stitch and button trim details. The elbow-length sleeves, princess seam waist shaping, and deep V are flattering on a variety of body types. This pattern works well for the bustier among us, and it is a cinch to add more (or less) shaping. It works dressed up for work or down for play and looks gorgeous in fancy, hand-painted yarns. Bust sizes measure 32 (36, 38, 40, 42, 46, 50)”. Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4″ in stockinette stitch. Shown in Sundara Aran Silky Merino, color “Wild Blueberries”, 5 (5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7) hanks. US$6.00

Morgan’s Flower Garden. An A-line, zippered cardigan for little girls, adorned with a tulip motif and sized with plenty of ease to accommodate youngsters’ rapid growth. Finished with tulips on the right front and left sleeve cuff. Seed stitch collar and zipper cover look neat and trim, as do the folded hems on sleeve cuffs and at the sweater’s bottom. Pattern includes individualized intarsia charts and detailed instructions. Sized to fit 1 (2, 4, 6) year-old girls, with bust measuring 22 (25, 27, 29)”. Gauge: 20 stitches and 26 rows = 4″ in stockinette stitch. You will need one set of needles in a size to get gauge, and another two sizes below the main size. Special techniques include intarsia for the actual flowers and (very) simple embroidery for the tulip stems. Shown in Cascade 220, colors #4007 for the sweater body with #9404 tulips and #9557 for the stems: 2 (3, 3, 4) hanks of main color and small amounts of tulip colors. US $5.00
