The No Heel Turn Sock
This sock knitting pattern does not require to work a heel-flap and there is no need to pick up stitches. The heel in this pattern is created simply by working increases, followed by an equal number of decreases.
If you are able to knit on double-pointed needles in the round, you are confident to work k2tog and ssk decreases, and you have toyed with the idea of getting into sock knitting, this pattern will be a beginner-friendly entry into the wonderful world of top-down vanilla socks.

A quick lace project, specifically designed to use up a small quantity of sock yarn (approximately 10 - 20 grams), an ideal pattern for beginner lace knitters, wishing to get to grips with two of the most common knitting decreases (k2tog and ssk). Published in September 2014. The pattern is available here.

The Commuter Cowl
Another experiment in simple lace knitting. The cowl's lace pattern gives the impression of vertical ribbing, which is achieved by a simple lace sequence, ideal for beginner lace knitters. The project is extremely portable and the pattern's lace rows are followed by simple knit rows, making this an ideal beginner project. The cowl is knitted entirely in the round. The pattern is available here.
The Picot Circle
I decided to knit a simple circular throw with a picot border, which can double up as a generously sized, ruffled shawl, when folded together in the middle. For this piece I used just over 550g of Hayfield Illusion dk yarn. This yarn has a black colour base and a mix of changing bright colour shades. My pattern is worked in a simple stockinette stitch, which aims to showcase the yarn's colour variations. When complete, the shawl will measure approximately 1.1 m in diameter and I recommend choosing Knit Pro interchangeable circular needles, as these will allow the progressive addition of cable extensions whilst knitting. The pattern can be found here.
The Winter Stole
There is a common misconception in the fibre sphere: It's the almost automatic assumption that only sock yarn can be utilised in the production of lace knits. With this design, I am trying to encourage knitters to diversify the choice of their materials. Depending, of course, on the complexity of the lace stitch sequence and the overall design, it is possible to knit lace with chunkier yarns. The pattern for the lace winter stole is available here.

Winter's End Mohair Scarf
Winter’s End is a simple mohair scarf knitting pattern with a technical twist.
The stitch pattern for the scarf is a simple 1x1 rib. Yet, to keep things interesting and to achieve a unique look, this mohair scarf pattern incorporates a technical twist. In order to achieve the long chain of stitches and airy texture of the scarf, the project is knitted on needles of two different sizes, radically different sizes to be precise: 2mm and 8mm.

The Cartridge Rib Baktus
My project notes are available here. This project was a modification of the ever popular Baktus pattern by Strikkelise, which can be found here. Just like the original, the Catridge Rib Baktus is designed to use exactly one skein of sock yarn. The needle size is up to you and gauge is not important. Happy days!

The Knitted Star
My pattern notes for the Knitted Star, a small project designed to explore basic geometric shapes, are available here. The piece is worked in the round on double-pointed needles. The star's outer edges are shaped with short rows. The size of the star can be modified by increasing or reducing the total number of stitches before working the spikes on the outer perimeter.
