The sun is just about to start setting on this sweltering summer season (at least for us folks in the northern hemisphere), but don’t worry. There’s still time to partake in a few lazy afternoon picnics in the park accompanied by your current WIP, or as I like to call them, pic-knits. If you’re looking for a little fiber/pattern inspo to ride out the dog days with, read on!
Arriving fashionably “late” this summer, our newest batch of Felici sock yarns was inspired by vivid memories of technicolor sunsets and epic sessions of childhood make-believe. With 9 new colors and 1 oldie for good measure (I’m looking at you, Vampire Vibes), this round of limited edition colorways packs a fruity punch of late summer goodness. We love these patterns for Felici: Love is Love Socks, Vanilla Twist Cowl, or Frankenfingers

This booklet will introduce the basics of lace, with techniques and patterns that are suitable for any level of knitter to venture into putting (intentional) holes in their fabric! The book then features texture techniques and beads, and ends with an advanced level pattern for an heirloom-quality showstopper. Knit Bits: Learn to Knit Lace! takes you through everything you need to know to become a true lace knitter!
