Do you use Instagram? I do not, as I do not carry a clever phone. I like browsing accounts on my computer, however, and I love seeing who is posting photos of their Knit Picks yarn and projects using our hashtag. So for fun, I thought I'd share some great Instagram images customers have posted, of late. Maybe they'll inspire you as much as they inspire me! |

Sock season is just around the corner so we're highlighting patterns perfect for Hawthorne, hands-down my favorite sock yarn! Sturdy but soft, this yarn is machine-washable and will stand up to some seriously heavy use. Stacey's Go Your Own Way free sock pattern is a great, basic top down or toe up project. Shown in Wisp and Serpent tonal, you can use one hank of your favorite fingering weight colorway to whip up a pair just in time for the first frosty morning! |

A new yarn comes out and my mind immediately starts running through existing patterns that would look great in the new blend! Yarn weight, finished fabric feel and fiber blend are all things you should take into consideration when substituting yarns. Here are some of my favorite existing patterns that would be great in our new oh-so-soft worsted weight Mighty Stitch! |
