Welcome to my world of knit design, where you'll find all of the above and lots more.

I'm celebrating the spring with my first ever KAL, the Jools Beret. For details of the winners, visit my KAL page.

There's a new free pattern for the spring. Boo is an easy-to-knit tunic dress knitted in Artesano Hummingbird, 300 metres/327 yards per 150gm, knit on 4.5mm (US 7) needles. This is a stocking stitch knit that would look equally cute in a solid colour.

My latest book, Sweet Shawlettes is available on Amazon, or first take a look at the project gallery. There've been two blog tours - North America and UK and rest of world - and the feedback has been tremendous. Thanks to everyone who participated.

There are also various excerpts in UK knit magazines.

I've been working hard on my next book, Great Little Gifts to Knit: 30 quick and colorful patterns, published by The Taunton Press in August 2013.

Visit Gifts & Treats - perfect projects for gifts or even better, for spoiling yourself. And while you're about it, why not try a little knit music while you knit?
