Another Love Note

Last night Beth suggested that I feature one yarn or pattern each day to give you ideas for something to make. Normally you could come to the store. You could touch and feel and see our finished samples. Now you are shopping from the website. Where do you start? I'll show a pattern and give some yarn choices.

We've had a run on Le Petit Lambswool in the store over the past few days. Customers are joining Andrea Mowry's KAL and are making Wool & Honey.

The sweater is knit in fingering weight yarn so you have many, many options. Here are all the fingering weight yarns on our website.

Knit top down, with a flattering, cropped, boxy silhouette, it looks equally beautiful paired with your favorite jeans or thrown on over a dress!


DRK March to May Sweater KAL

Post photos of your yarn and projects so we can all oo and ahhh! Share on Instagram as well with the hashtag #DRKSWEATERKAL so we can follow along and give you some hearts! (I also love to be tagged so I don’t miss your photos - you can tag me with @dreareneeknits and hashtag #dreareneeknits).
RULES
Just have fun! This is a very casual KAL and a space created for all of YOU to get together digitally! Andrea will pop in now and then to say hello, knit on her own sweater, and of course to check out all of your gorgeous makes!
Many of us don’t have a local knitting group, so this is a great way to get together online with other knitters and enjoy the company and support of our peers as we dive into a new knit! Cheer each other on, share tips and make some new friends! (Andrea met one of her absolute best friends during a KAL!) Everyone is welcome here!
This morning Sarah texted me pictures of her latest sweater. She knit another Love Note. It looks amazing!!

You can purchase the pattern for Love Note on Ravelry. This is another sweater that people have been buying yarn to knit.

Sarah used Le Petit Lambswool Red Brown and Le Petit Silk & Mohair Medium Grey.

This sweet little sweater knits up quickly from the top down. The combination of mohair lace and single-ply merino creates a fabric that is floaty, soft and sensual. With a high-low hemline and two length options, what’s not to love?




This is Sarah's first Love Note. For this one she knit a small.

This morning dad dropped off a table so that I could set up a shipping station. It made things go a lot quicker today. I could spread out when packing boxes.

Lynn is coming in tomorrow morning. The store looks like a tornado hit. I have boxes from suppliers to unpack. There is yarn thrown everywhere. We aren't going to have customers in for a bit but if we don't get things back in order we won't be able to have customers in. There will be no where for you to walk.

Boscoe went to daycare today. This is the pond that Lucy would go into. Now Boscoe is going into it. He was so dirty when Beth picked him up that she took him to dad's for a shower. Dad and Boscoe are both very clean now.
