Purple dragon eye with yarn ball and text: The Periwinkle Dragon, original knitting patterns by Carolyn Lisle.

I love to come up with new ideas about knitting, but “easier than they look” is usually my goal! Regardless of the level of difficulty, I make sure my patterns are always clearly written and full of helpful resources.

As a dedicated science nerd, my designs are often inspired by natural phenomena and the diversity of life on Earth. However, I’m mostly just a weirdo who gets inspired by all kinds of random things! Looking for socks inspired by fungus? What about weird bugs? Crosswalks? Obsolete computer equipment? Dinosaur temperature regulation? It’s all here! I love bright colours, and once in a while I do something that’s just ridiculous.

Pattern support is available by email with a 24-48 hour response time. If you are interested in test knitting, please fill out this form for an invite to my Slack workspace!

A selection of my patterns have been prepared specifically for compatibility with the knitCompanion app! Check them out:

Looking for professionally-printed patterns for kits, clubs, classes, or LYS sales? The majority of my patterns now have high-resolution print-optimized versions available to order from Magcloud! The quality is excellent, and volume discounts are available for as few as 10 copies.

Looking for a set of digital download codes for a pattern instead? Please email me for a quote.
