Don’t you wish autumn weather lasted all year? With our new sock labs, those autumn vibes will linger well into winter. With tones of chocolaty brown, rust orange, and a sea of blue and gray, these yarns embody all the warm colors of fall. They are begging to be knit into your new favorite snuggly garment. The Rita M Shawl would look gorgeous in these tones and will be sure to become your go-to knit this winter! If you want to combine all 3 of these beautiful hanks, the Blushing scarf is a great pattern to do so. And the ultimate treat for your feet would be to knit up a pair of Annagh Socks, Fortunate Isle Socks, or Peony Socks! |

This week’s free 12 Weeks of Gifting pattern is a fun + playful project features a brilliant checkerboard of bright colors! The Dotty Cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up. It begins and ends with a reverse stockinette band, knit from the wrong side (no purling on the bands). The Dotty Stitch Pattern is a simple slip-stitch pattern which is enhanced by the effortless color transitions of Chroma Worsted. Only one color is used per round, making this a very relaxing knit. There is enough yardage with Chroma Worsted for two cowls; one for you and one for a friend. |

We’re over halfway through our 12 Weeks of Gifting series, and from here on out the patterns will be requiring less and less time to complete (in theory). As a person who is constantly striving to contain every aspect of her life in an organized fashion, I find that I can never have enough baskets, bowls, boxes, etc. This quaint trio of coordinating bowls makes the perfect storage solution for the many bibs & bobs we crafters tend to collect! The Felted Bowls are knit in our beloved Wool of the Andes yarns (which offers 100 different colors to choose from), many variations of these felted bowls can be made. There are three sizes, all of which can be ... |

You know the drill; these are limited edition and will be flying out of here, so hurry and see all the self-striping amazing-ness while you can! |
