Embrace comfort knitting with the six tops in our new collection, Take it Easy! These patterns are perfect for weekend brunches, backyard gatherings, getting tea with a friend, or anytime you want a sophisticated look with minimal fuss. Touches of lace, cables, and delicate mesh keep the knitting interesting while shorter sleeves mean you'll be able to finish these garments in no time. In the spirit of "springier" weather, I thought I'd share three of my favorite patterns from our fabulous new collection! |

Happy Earth Day! Around here, many of us are taking part in various activities around in our area and we hope you will be doing the same. But reducing our impact on the environment happens year round - and we have a few projects that can help! First of all - dishcloths! Using dishcloths rather than disposable products creates less waste for our landfills. We have over 100 free patterns, in both knit and crochet for you to enjoy - including one with a nifty recycle symbol - The Three R's Dishcloth! |

Just in time for sunnier forecasts, Aura is our 2016 spring pattern collection! These sixteen patterns are perfect for layering and feature sweet lace details in a soft pastel palette. Every year we keep things fresh by focusing on a different aspect of the perfect spring wardrobe. This year we wanted to feature flattering silhouettes while making sure to include some unexpected detail, for added interest (both while knitting and wearing!). I absolutely loved spending the day at Cistus Nursery with our lovely models in these super versatile garments, so I thought I would take a moment to share my absolute favorites from Aura with you! |

Spring is nearly here and after a long, grey winter - we're looking forward to adding bright and bold pops of color into our knitting. Our new Colorblock collection checks off every color craving that we have with fun, wearable patterns that can be as colorful as you choose! We’ve chosen three patterns from our new Colorblock collection and styled each two different ways. Let’s get started with a colorful top that is made for the transitional weather of spring, the Unblocked Tunic! Unblocked Tunic by Katy Banks BRIGHTLY BALANCED: Neon green is totally wearable, we promise! Pair a bold color like neon green with a dark, classic shade like navy to create a bold but balanced outfit. |
