Unbelievable fall colors this week in the Adirondacks.

My first stop on my On the Road adventure is Granite Lake, New Hampshire.

From the North Woods of Maine to the far coastline of Deer Isle, we completed our Return to Maine travels, enjoying some of the best of what the Pine Tree State has to offer.

The first sewing pattern in the Return to Maine Collection is an essential wardrobe piece: a classic long-sleeve tee

The dramatic vistas and sunsets on the Bold Coast don’t disappoint.

Our first stop on our Return to Maine trip is Cape Porpoise, just around the corner from Kennebunkport on Maine’s southern coast.

Ten days hiking, sailing and kayaking in Croatia and along the Dalmatian Coast.

Lumini Cowl is the first pattern in the Return to Maine Collection.

My newest project, a year in the making, is finally ready!

A floaty open cardigan designed especially for summer knitting, created by knitting with silk/mohair yarn held double.

Gorgeous, peaceful hike along the McKenzie River Trail to the cerulean Tamolitch Falls Blue Pool.

My newest knitting pattern, this shawl features double stranding with a cloud-soft silk/mohair blend, drop stitches to let the sunlight through, and a crescent shape perfect for throwing over your shoulders on a cool summer evening.
