A few weeks ago I had a few friends over to my house for an afternoon knit group, and after weall got caught up through conversation and knitting projects, we ended up diggingthrough my stash. Unorganized and all over the house, we brought it all into one room andstarted sorting. It became quickly apparent that I have exactly ten million skeins of fingeringweight yarn collected over the past 7-8 years (fun fact - theyre all basically the same colorsomehow). So in the name of spring and summer coming up and trying to knit up my yarn sothat my stash doesnt outlive me, here are some new patterns for March; all using fingeringweight yarn.

Columbina by Ambah OBrien

This shawl gives us the best of both worlds: easy garter stitch, paired with something a little more interesting and complex. The two-color mosaic knitting sections are perfect as an introduction to this technique.

Suburban Wrap by Joji Locatelli

Joji does it again with the Suburban Wrap. This piece is large, with textured stitches. One end features an inverted V, while the other comes to a point, for maximum styling options.

Bolan, by Leila Raabe

This flattering tee features a little lace near the collarbone for a feminine accent.

Mulberry Cream, by Buckaloo View

I always have a pair of top down socks on the needles. In my house, in my purse, a pair in the caryou getthe idea. The ribbed eyelet pattern is cute and allows for airflow during the warmer months.

Markle, by Emma Welford

A breezy top with plenty of positive ease and vertical stripes to flatter all different body types.

Twill and Plain byMarzena Koaczek

The unusual construction of this light pullover calls for a little more preparation than normal,but with careful swatching youll have the perfect textured pullover for chilly summer nights.

Joy by Veera Vlimki

One of my summer wardrobe staples is a light, lacy cardigan, and Veera designed a perfect,classic, wear anytime cardigan. Perfect bliss - or shall we say joy?
