Happy April! Did you enjoy our fun April Fool's prank yesterday? We had a lot of fun putting it together but rest assured, we will continue to be Knit Picks forever and not Pasta Picks, as fun as that sounds! We have two free downloadable calendars this month! You can choose the fun pasta version to make you smile each day or you can be inspired by our pretty spring palette of Dishie yarn. Whichever you choose, you can be sure to gaze on on lovely yarn all month long. |

Happy February! When the winter doldrums start getting to us (will the snow ever end?), one of our favorite things to do is play around with pretty stitch patterns. Perfect for this is our lovely Tuff Puff which really shows off those stitches! For our free downloadable February calendar we're featuring some swatches we've knit up recently. The stitch pattern in Mint is the Diagonal Rib stitch from Up, Down, All-Around Stitch Dictionary and the one in Cream is a variation on a Broken Rib Stitch (knit 1x1 rib for 3 rows, then 1 row of just purl stitches). We hope you find inspiration all month long with our yarn "doodling"! |

Wanda the Woolly captures our attitude perfectly, as she gazes into the future atop a mountain of 100% wool Super Tuff Puff, perfect for quick accessories and home decor.
