Need a dose of inspiration for all of that green yarn you’re stocking up on? Our new collection, Celtic Journey, is filled with patterns adorned with cables and textures and the print book is now back in stock (it was so popular, that we sold out of the print book shortly after launching it only a month ago)!

Additionally, I love how it includes a versatile mix of patterns including sweaters, accessories and an irresistible blanket. Check out a few of the lovely patterns from Celtic Journey below (and did you notice, they are all knit in green yarns)!
