Spring and Summer 2010: The Linen Collection

My collection for Spring and Summer 2010 is the Linen Collection, an exploration of this most elegant of fibres. Patterns from this collection are being released once a month, beginning in April.

The first pattern, Flight of Fancy, is now available as pattern and as a yarn kit.

On the Design Collections page, you will find my collections of handknitting patterns, featuring lace knitting, intriguing stitch patterns, and unique construction.
  
My theme-based collections include shawls, scarves, wraps, and sweaters, many with sizing from Extra Small up to 3X/4X.
Each pattern is sold separately as a PDF download from my website or as printed patterns in yarn shops throughout North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia.

My patterns are written with great care - and occasional humour. Well-illustrated with photos, charts, and schematics, each pattern includes everything you need to know to complete the project.

Yarns are also available for many of my patterns. These are now available for purchase through the PayPal shopping cart.
