May News: cozy cotton knits & crochet kits

“It’s gonna–be–May
Oh, yeah ♫”
– Justin Timberlake
Knit Picks May Launch
Ok. Those may not be the ACTUAL lyrics, but you catch my drift. It’s freakin’ MAY people!! We’re ready to sit in the sunshine, sip some iced tea, and make our summer project plans. Oh, and maybe sneak a road trip or two into the mix. What better project to take on the road than something small & compact, like a pair of fun textured socks? If you’re on the hunt for fresh new sock patterns, you’ll want to take a gander at one of our two newest collections, Splendid Soles.

Free Stripy I-Cord Dishcloth

“It’s much easier than I thought it would be.”
“Most things in knitting are, really.”

― Gil McNeil, The Beach Street Knitting Society and Yarn Club

Happy Friday! An I-Cord bindoff is something I absolutely love to do on cardigans bands – I think it gives them a nice professional look and hangs so nicely without curling. And a 2 color one looks fabulous on a colorful sweater! But if that technique looks a little scary and difficult, we have the perfect project to try it out on – the cute Stripy I-Cord Dishcloth.
