Looking for a project to help you get through your stash yarn? I’ve got the perfect cowl for you.

The Mini Skein Madness Ripple Stitch cowl was designed with the Nooch Yarns sock mini skeins in mind, but you can use any fi*****ng weight or sock yarn.

This is a great stash busting winter project, and is a great opportunity to experiment with some funky color palettes! The ripple stitch design is fun and straightforward, and allows all those colors to really stand out.

If you know me, you know I love a good crochet shawl. And now that it’s finally cold in New York, it’s the perfect time to get started on your own!

The Very Violet Vees shawl is a classic shape, worked from the center out with increasing on either side every row and in the center every other row. The texture of the stitch looks amazing with monochromatic or variegated sock yarn, and you’ll only need one skein of each color!

As always this pattern is available on my Ravelry, linked in bio.

Pixel Scarf in the sunlight 😍☀️

An all time favorite of mine, this scarf is worked up in three skeins of variegated fi*****ng weight yarn. The construction of the piece creates a fun, pixelated effect (hence the name 😊)

Check out this pattern on ravelry, or sign up for the Pixel Scarf Class on Saturday, December 11 at .nyc

It may be getting cooler in NYC, but we can still wear our summer projects!

The Sedona Crocheted top is a summer favorite. Crocheted with a DK weight cotton, it can be worn all throughout the sweltering NYC summer.

But I especially love layering this top over cozy long sleeves and turtlenecks, or under a cardigan for the fall. Want a warmer layering piece? This would be super cozy worked up in a funky variegated wool as well!
