New Knitting Pattern Release: The Valdes Houndstooth Cowl

September 30, 2021

Today, as we head into the chillier months here in the northern hemisphere, I want to share with you a new knitting pattern for a classic cowl that will see you through these colder months.

FUBC Shawl Kits

October 12, 2017

Today I want to tell you about a very special project I’ve been involved in with a truly exceptional woman as its spearhead.
