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. You can find technique videos and help articles on my website.

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? Protein folding? 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? High-resolution print-optimized versions of select patterns are now available to order from Magcloud! Wholesale rates for print patterns are available only for bulk purchases; contact me for more information.

Looking to save trees and opt for a set of digital download codes for a pattern for a club or kit instead? Please email me for a quote.
