Mitered squares come together for this bag in two sizes, with instructions for making a matching scarf. Designed by Suesan Roth. Inspired by the many steps to the top of the Mother Cabrini shrine on Lookout Mountain near Golden, Colorado. From Beth: In 1910, Mother Cabrini founded a summer camp for her orphanage on Lookout Mountain near Golden, Colorado. Following her beatification, the location became a pilgrimage site, with a 373 step staircase tracing her path to the top of the mountain. Designer Suesan Roth has a special love for this landmark — her husband proposed at the top of the stairs. This set of bags commemorates those steps, represented by the mitered blocks.

Mad for plaid? These tartan cuffs by Beth Moriarty were inspired by the Highland Games on Grandfather Mountain, North Carolina and add the perfect touch of knitted color to your boots without the uncomfortable  thickness of chunky socks. From Beth: I spend part of the year at my cabin in North Carolina, home to the largest Scottish population in the United States. In mid-July fans of all things Scottish head to nearby Grandfather Mountain for the Highland Games. The event provides Celtic music, athletic contests and food. If you’re mad for plaid, don’t miss the Parade of Tartans. My boot cuffs are a great way to add a bit of Scottish charm to your wardrobe without adding unnecessary bulk inside your boots. Check the “Tips” section for how to make these into leg warmers if you want to go full-on tartan.

Festooned with turquoise ocean waves, blooming with hibiscus and dune flowers, this cowl is just the cheery pick-me-up you need for slushy, sleety, wet wintry days. Designed by Beth Moriarty and inspired by the beauty of Key West, Florida. From Beth: One of the first vacations I took with my husband-to-be was in sunny Key West. Despite the fact I grew up in Florida, I had never been. The Keys really are like their own country, with the laid-back party atmosphere and spectacular water, it feels more like a Caribbean island than the United States. Every evening, locals and visitors alike gather at Mallory Square to watch the sun set. My design for this embellished cowl, with its turquoise waves, yellow dune flowers and red hibiscus, transports a bit of the Keys to gray winter days for those not spending the season basking in tropical splendor. Finished Measurements: 27” in circumference and 10½” high (68.5 x 26.5cm) Project Gauge: 18 stitches and 21 rounds = 4” in stranded stockinette on US 8 (5mm) Yarn: Cascade Yarns Cascade 220 Wool, (100% wool, 220 yards/200m per 100g skein); quarter skein each Caribbean #8907 (MC), Zinnia Red #9466, Granny Smith #8914, Natural #8010, and Goldenrod #7827...
