Magic Practice Mitts

Posted on May 11, 2022May 11, 2022by Eliza

A little over a year ago, I published my Dragon Magic Cowl pattern, which was inspired by Sabryn, a YA fantasy book I published this past January. I’m very excited to release the next book in the Charmwood Chronicles, Firstborn, in which Sabryn’s daughters join the adventures. Here’s the back cover blurb: When fifteen-year-old Zia’s […]

Simple, Easy Slippers

Posted on March 2, 2022February 26, 2022by Eliza

When my little Munchkin needed slippers this winter, I tried my hand at knitting them rather than buying a pair that he’ll either decide are uncomfortable or outgrow too quickly. There are a lot of awesome slipper patterns out there, but I hadn’t found any that worked for what I specifically wanted: knit (not crochet) […]

Diamonds and Ice

Posted on December 1, 2021November 29, 2021by Eliza

Usually when I release a new pattern, I like to share the story behind it… except that this pattern doesn’t have much of a story. I was gifted the Ella Rae yarn a while ago (it is a really pretty ice blue in person, though the color doesn’t show well in my photos), and I […]

Garter Ridge Baby Blanket

Posted on September 15, 2021September 13, 2021by Eliza

It’s baby blanket time again! One of my dear friends from college is pregnant. She’s had several miscarriages, so we’re all extra excited about this rainbow baby. I chose Lion Brand Feels Like Butta yarn because a) it feels amazing and b) I could make a whole blanket with one skein. It’s not quite as […]

Striped Cardigan

Posted on July 7, 2021July 5, 2021by Eliza

I never follow a pattern exactly as written. I try, but it never works. So last year, when I found a cardigan sweater pattern that I loved, I decided I’d try it. No changes. Well, almost no changes. The pattern was Comfiest Knit Cardigan by Mama in a Stitch. I chose to make a size […]

April Sands

Posted on April 28, 2021April 27, 2021by Eliza

This April, my husband and I celebrated our 13th anniversary, and it made me do a lot of reminiscing. We spent our honeymoon in a borrowed beach house in the Outer Banks. While April in North Carolina is warmer than a lot of places (including Vermont, where we got married and had snow), it wasn’t […]

Easter Knitting and Crochet Patterns

Posted on March 31, 2021March 29, 2021by Eliza

It’s Easter time! I know that not everyone celebrates this holiday (and if that’s you, feel free to skip this post). For me the most important thing by far is remembering Jesus rising from the dead to clear our sins. But it’s also fun to celebrate spring with bunnies and candy-filled eggs and chocolate, so […]

Choose Your Own Adventure Cowl

Posted on March 17, 2021March 10, 2021by Eliza

I had different plans for this yarn, but I second-guessed the yardage needed for that project and decided to make something else with it. A warm, comfy cowl is always a good idea, and this definitely fits the bill. I’ve been wearing it for the past couple of weeks as I wait for spring weather, […]

Dragon Magic Cowl

Posted on February 17, 2021May 10, 2022by Eliza

Post updated 5/10/2022. I don’t talk about it much here, but I’m a writer. (Yes, blog posts are writing, but that’s not what I mean.) I’ve been writing stories since I was a kid, scribbling complete books on yellow legal pads. None of those early stories were worth much besides practice, but I’ve kept writing. […]

Crochet Flip Flop Slippers

Posted on February 3, 2021January 23, 2021by Eliza

A few years ago it seemed like I saw nothing but crocheted slippers and boots with flip-flop soles. They looked cozy and practical, so I bought a few pairs of flip-flops on after-summer clearance at Michaels. And then they sat in my closet. Meanwhile, I broke my foot and later had surgery since it wouldn’t […]
