Chalet



Chainette yarns are well-deserving of their popularity...the construction simultaneously provides strength and lightness. Add a luxury fiber blend of baby alpaca and bamboo to that inherent lightness and you have Chalet, a decadently soft yarn with a lovely drape in a chunky weight from our MountainTop Collection of yarns spun from natural, undyed fibers. Chalet looks great knit at a wide variety of gauges and textures.
We brought this yarn in last fall and everyone loved it. There is a new Chalet book this fall.




The Coors Cowl is knit up in the store. It is knit on 8mm needles (quick to make) and feels light as air. This pattern uses 5 skeins of Chalet and is super easy. You can download the pattern here...
The Chalet Cowl takes two skeins of yarn. You can download the pattern here...

Here are a few more patterns I found on Ravelry

Beth is going to MC our cousin's wedding next spring so she was invited to a family dinner tonight to meet everyone. I stayed home with the dogs. I napped. Not sure what they did. :) I did get some knitting done last night on Arizona Dream. I have reached the 1/3 point. Now it's time to get back to it.

We're going to have another contest-watch for details tomorrow.
