Don't Fret Shawl
The Don’t Fret shawl is inspired by the acoustic guitars often featured in the music and the album art. The slipped stitch pattern is inspired by the fretboard of an acoustic guitar. Don’t Fret is worked flat and on the bias, plus the pattern is adjustable – so you can work as many repeats as you want.
Inspired by, and designed in support of, John Arbon’s new yarn line, Yarnadelic. Yarnadelic is a yarn made from beautiful Falkland corriedale wool and the colourways are inspired by 1960s/70s music – especially folk, funk, psychedelic and soul.

Fraser Pines is a pair of socks that only ever uses one colour at once using a slipped stitch technique, which makes it an easy knit. The leg of the sock are ringed by pine trees moving into a hybrid heel and a relaxing knit on the foot with a few stripes thrown in for fun.
Gentle Blooms is a bandana-style cowlette, which means you get the beauty and fun of a shawl at a small scale but it’s easy to wear and will stay in position.
A fun top-down sock pattern. The socks can be fraternal or matching, and you use a dice to determine, which stitch pattern to work.
