The colorful plumage of birds always inspires and captivates our attention. Malabrigo Yarns colorway Maricabo (custom dyed for us on their luxurious Silkpaca base) does more than catch our visual attention; it also delights our hands with the combination of alpaca and silk in a delicate lace weight. What a perfect yarn for Stephanie Voyer’s ‘Pretty Leaves Cowl’ pattern!

Soon Autumn will be upon us, and we will be looking for that little something to take the chill off as we head out the door. This month’s knit pattern, the Eklutna Lakeside shawl can be casual or flirty; Mary Dickerson’s creative design has our feathers in a flutter with smooth and textured stitches, touched with a bit of whimsy in those bobbles! The All Natural colorway Bohemian Waxwingworks...

Kim Drigg’s pattern inspiration comes from the ‘V’ shaped feathers of her cockatiel, Merle. Plumage takes flight immediately, carrying us along for the ride with each stitch, while new sock base Knitologie Incline Sock (75% Superwash Merino, 25% Nylon) shines in this month’s Chill Out colorway, Pygmy Tyrant. The stitches used create the illusion of feathers, and are cleverly paired with an Eye...

Raising hands high into the air, the Ringmistress draws everyone’s attention to the center ring as the majestic elephant parade begins! Hannah Thiessen’s Ringleader hand warmers capture our attention. How can you resist these faux cables, from the very first opening CO stitch to the final BO?

The top of the cuffs’...

Our memories are universal, the story of the first time we experienced the comfort, warmth and love of a shawl. Darya has created a truly memorable shawl with “Alma Shawl”. Based on a scalene triangle, making it large enough to easily wrapping around your shoulders and then some. The delicate lace sits atop each solid area like the crest of a wave as the tide gently rolls in to shore. Choose your...

Why do we knit our own socks? This is a question all of us are asked by those who don’t knit at least once. This months sock pattern from Kay Litton answers that question. Because they are FUN! This whimsical trailing cable pattern catches the eye and teases us with each stitch to keep going, like sprinkles on ice cream and playing with puppies at the same time: sheer delight.
