Last week, Lindsay came rushing in, on a mission to whip up the Claudette Hat- she needed Koigu in a hurry! When it was finished (the next day), she tried it on- and it was no wonder why it was a must have emergency! It's so fab!!! This sassy little number took 3 skeins of Koigu, held double (woo hoo- quick)... For all of you ravelers, you can find the pattern
here, if not- it can be purchased on
Etsy. It's a clever yet very simple pattern, basically a basket weave strip that is wrapped and tucked- I love it!!
It's been a little crazy over here, we received a beautiful, as always, shipment from the Fibre Company. New colors of Terra, and a replenishment of Road to China Light, which has been flying out the door since I posted my
Ulmus last week. I think I'm going to grab 4 skeins of Terra in Acorn, to knit me the Springtime Bandit by Kate Gagnon Osborn... Terra feels so luscious in a skein, knitting it must be amazing... I can't wait. This is another fabulous accessory, perfect for fall and the
pattern is FREE!!!
ooooh! ps! The new fall colors of Worsted Hand dyes came from Blue Sky Alpacas, and it just so happened that a fantastic, gorgeous, to die for shawl pattern is on it's way from our dear friend at
Through the Loops, sneak a peak, and then- we'll be seeing you over here for some worsted, I'm soooo knitting this in Blue Sky's new colorway Petunia (or maybe Mulberry)!!
What a week! There have been so many yummy yarns coming in every day. From new colors of Terra and Worsted Hand Dyes from Blue Sky, to Dream in Color's lace weight, Baby (pictured above). 700 yards of a slightly thinner Smooshy- hmm what to do what to do.... I don't know where to start. I've got a cardigan for Scarlett on my needles, and I just finished my Springtime Bandit in Terra. I love this shawl, it took only 4 skeins, and the pattern is free...
Last week, I knit a shawl that I found on ravelry out of Noro silk garden and a couple of skeins of Manos. It was a colorful twist on a basic shawl pattern that took only 2 days to knit and was totally mindless.. The author of Knitalong, Larissa Brown, has a gorgeous blog if you haven't seen it already, it's so worth the visit. Her blog, is one that I find myself marveling through whenever I need to quench my creative thirst.
I'm off to knit until my hands quit tonight, I'm dying to cast on for High Line, Through the Loop's latest shawl pattern- out of Blue Sky's worsted hand dyes of course... I'm balled and ready to roll!!!
