The art of knitting is about the ability to create exactly what you want—size, shape, colors, motifs, etc. Many knitters want to learn how to design their own pattern, or even simply alter an existing pattern to suit their style, but often struggle with where to start on customization.

When I first started knitting—this was me.

So in this digital age I went to Google and YouTube to learn some more advanced skills, practiced on a lot of other people’s patterns (adjusting or altering them), and eventually began to design patterns myself, incorporating the tricks and tools that I had found most useful to me.

Today, I design an ever-expanding library of modular colorwork patterns that provide style options, clear tutorials, basic math formulas, and built-in modifications, so you can create exactly what you want, every time. Whether you want to knit a copy of the sample or design something completely unique, you will now have the guide to do either!

My colorwork designs focus on what I call Doodles, which are fun and whimsical micro motifs that allow the knitter to choose the overall theme, order, and colors that best suit their style. By enabling all the possibilities, it really starts to feel like you’re “doodling with yarn”—which is actually where the term Doodle came from for these patterns. This constant shift between easy-to-memorize motifs keeps a knitter on their toes, while supplying them with micro wins at each chart completion, creating a project that is impossible to put down. 

It’s truly a “potato chip project,” or one where you just need to knit one more row. 
All you have to do to design your own Doodle project is:

Choose the pattern (cowl, hat, socks, etc.)
Build your options for charts and colors (within a structure)
Follow the instructions to knit

The best part is that every one of my Doodle series colorwork patterns is designed to work together, so it really is a framework built for “endless customization”—literally. 

You’ll never get bored because it’s different every time! I guarantee that once you try it, you won’t be able to put it down, and it is going to be the most fun you’ve ever had knitting. So let’s do this!
