New Spring Inspired Sock Labs!
by Hillary E on May 29, 2019
Like the first sunny day after a stormy winter, our newest Sock Lab is a spring dream. A melange of the colors of spring blooms, the aptly named Bouquet combines bright pink, shades of orange, and hues of warm yellow. A perfect counterbalance to Bouquet is Meadow! Meadow features a medley of lively greens.
The vibrant colors with surprises of speckles would look so pretty crocheted into the Boothbay Harbor Shawlette. …

Pawtastic! Collection
by Kate M on May 17, 2019
Designer: Margaret Mills
Let me start by admitting that this collection was long, LONG overdue. Our lack of doggo-inspired knits was something we lamented on a daily basis around the office. After the success of our feline-friendly 9 Lives Collection, we knew the clock was ticking for us to produce its canine counterpart. I’m beyond excited to announce that wait is over and we can officially introduce you to our newest labor of love, Pawtastic!
While every single pattern in this book gets an A+ in my opinion, there are a few that I can’t help but mention. And HEEEERREE they are!

Mothers Day Wish List
by Kate M on May 12, 2019
As a mom, or more importantly, as a human being in the modern world, I relish the opportunity to carve out a little time for myself to do whatever my heart and mind needs in the moment. Namely, slow down, stop obsessing over my never-ending to-do list, and just RELAX. We could all stand to take more gorgeous moments for ourselves to replenish and reflect, whether it be daydreaming about taking a luxurious cruise with the Fab 5 or just sipping some hot coffee on a quiet early morning while the rest of the house is still asleep. I’ll take whatever I can get. Bonus points if it includes plants, outdoor time, or Indian food.
Puppo Love!

One of our favorite things about our new Pawtastic book is that our brand manager Hannah’s doggos modeled for it!
