See my interview with Shirley  as we discuss our history together and this new venture on

 the DAL 6 page of this site or

Shirley Paden's YouTube Channel

If you have Shirley’s first book, Knitwear Design Workshop, or her second book Duets & Inspirations, you’ll know all about Shirley Paden’s legacy.

Working with her is always part knitting challenge, part design boot camp.


I was recently a "Design Coach" for the DAL 6

along with other renown knitwear designers.

One of stitch patterns chosen to be a basis for design is from my Guantlets. 

Knit in Artyarns Merino Cloud, this is one of my favorite pieces because I met a design challenge of mirroring the cable pattern on the gloves. 

I look forward to seeing some finished knits from this fabulous pattern.

"The Sampler Blanket" is one of my most popular patterns to date.
