Introducing Trillium Path

Posted on July 7, 2026 | 3 comments

Trillium Path is an ode to spring wildflower hikes. A field of simple, twinkly assigned pooling flowers on stockinette combined with optional eyelet stripes make this eye-catching accessory sparkle. This asymmetric triangle is knit on the bias from skinny point to wide end. Trillium Path can be an easy-to-knit social knitting project, or a multi-tasker’s dream.

A video tutorial for the assigned pooling pattern is included in the pattern.

Trillium Path is knit with one skein of fingering weight yarn that’s dyed for assigned pooling. You can also extend your shawlette with a second skein of yarn if that’s your jam.

The eyelet stripes are optional, but I highly recommend them for visual interest, and also as mini-goals while you knit. The final eyelet edging at the bind off keeps your edge from rolling.

I knit my shawlettes with A Chick That Knitz Singles Fingering in Wildflowers AP (blue) and From Paris With Love AP (green).

The Trillium Path pattern is available on Ravelry (link here) and also on Payhip (link here). Use coupon code THRICE for 15% off on either site, through July 21, 2026.

Are you interested in a knitalong? This could be a fun and easy summer KAL! Let me know; if there’s enough interest I’ll announce it here.

Busy and blue…and red!

Posted on June 29, 2026 | 7 comments

Well that was a busy weekend!

I taught an entrelac class for Modern Daily Knitting on Friday morning. Always fun to hang out with MDK!

I rode in a fundraiser bike ride, PeDal Support for Parkinson’s Resources of Oregon (PRO) on Sunday morning. DH was on the organizing committee. They raised $20,000, which is great. I found our old bike jerseys in a drawer, so we had to wear them! PRO provides programs and information for People with Parkinsons and their care partners. DH hosts a weekly ping pong program for them, and a monthly support group. His blog, Shakin’ Street, is here. And if you’d like to donate to my PeDal Support page, that link is here.

The ride was on the Banks Vernonia State Trail, which is a rails to trails conversion. The path is fairly flat at the beginning, and then begins a gentle climb that goes on for a while. It’s an out and back ride, which means downhill on the return! The section in Stubb Stewart State Park is especially lovely, with dense forest and so many shades of green.

Our garden has been in berry overdrive! We have two blueberry bushes, one of which is probably 25 years old. We’ve had gallons of berries this year. Blueberry muffins, blueberry bread, blueberry cobbler, blueberries in the freezer…I’m about to make blueberry lime jam.

Picked and dunked within 5 minutes. Bliss.

I’m making good progress on my Luminos Tee. I put it on 2 needles so I could see the shape! I’m currently working in the round, and it’s shaping the shoulders and V neck. The construction is very clever, and I’m enjoying seeing how it’s put together. (There is actually pink in the lighter stripe; the lighting at my dining room table is wonky because of the reddish wood.)

Test knitting for Trillium Path is nearly done. I’m looking forward to sharing this simple knit with you!

a green shawlette with assigned pooling motifs

I’ve been craving a simple knit, and here it is. Working title, Trillium Path. It’s simple stockinette with assigned pooling fields.

I love the fields of flowers. I’m adding optional eyelet bands for texture to this second knit. Why? Because the first one ended with eyelets to discourage the bind off from curling, and I’d like to incorporate them in the body, too.

I’m looking for a few test knitters for this single skein piece. This is meant to be simple knitting, perfect for travel or social knitting. It’s knit with fingering weight yarn, 100g. I used A Chick that Knitz Singles Fingering in From Paris with Love (green) and Wildflowers (blue). Let me know if you’re interested!
