original patterns for handknitters

Ever find yourself wandering the mountain passes and feeling chilly? Need to wrap up against the breeze while out picking wildflowers? Or just in town and wanting to feel cozy and fashionable? Our handknitting patterns are created for all kinds of outings and for all levels of knitters. We love texture, simple shapes, natural fibres, and cozy comfortable knits.

Currently, all designs are available as pdf downloads via Ravelry.
