Three Seasons

This is the newest design from Wool & Pine called the Three Seasons Pullover (pattern purchased on Ravelry).

If you loved the timeless look of the Three Season Cardigan, meet its cozy counterpart: Three Season Pullover. This V-neck sweater pairs classic cables with a relaxed, modern fit, giving you the perfect piece to layer through changing seasons. The cotton-wool blend strikes the ideal balance between warmth and breathability, while thoughtful shaping details ensure a comfortable, flattering fit. 
With its versatile topdown design, Three Season Pullover brings cozy, effortless style to your wardrobe. The careful shaping through the body and shoulders creates a fit that feels as good as it looks, making it a sweater you’ll reach for again and again.

Why you’ll love it:
• Classic cables that are both enjoyable to knit and effortless to wear
• The cotton-wool blend makes it lightweight but warm—ideal for layering
• A relaxed V-neck fit with thoughtful shaping for comfort and style
• Versatile fit with guidance on key techniques through step-by-step video tutorials

Three Season Pullover is approachable for knitters who are comfortable with chart reading and working cables. Whether you’re new to cables or an experienced knitter, you’ll find plenty of support through step-by-step video tutorials covering everything from provisional cast-on to reading charts, working cables without a cable needle, and construction techniques. 

Three Season Pullover is worked from the top down. The back shoulder pieces are knit separately and joined across the back of the neck. The remainder of the back is worked flat, with armhole shaping for sizes 4-10. Front panels are picked up from the shoulders and shaped into a V-neck, then joined with the back using mattress stitch to form the body. The sleeves are picked up and knit in the round, finished with cozy 1x1 ribbed cuffs. The collar stitches are picked up and worked in the round to complete the clean neckline. 







Cantata has a unique tube construction with merino fibers blown in to give this yarn loft and an airiness that is perfect for making garments for transitioning seasons. The unique tube construction makes cables and textured stitches pop.

New pattern, new samples and a lot of rearranging

This is the Supernovae Swancho from Blue Sky Fibers. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Knit from the top down and designed with positive ease to be cozy, this colorful swoncho will be your new favorite throw on and go piece.

We have kits available online and in the store.



Lynn and Alex were both in today and did a lot of rearranging. Noro Kureyon is back in numerical order with the brand new colours at the top.
Killer Queen Cowls are at the front door now.

There are new kit combinations for the cowl.
Alex brought in my finished Frame Your Face today. I used Roan and Dream State for mine - 2 skeins of each. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.




Diana stopped in later this afternoon with the Frame Your Face that she knit for the store. This was knit with one skein of Emma’s So Sporty and one ball of Starke 6. The colour of So Sporty she used won’t be in stock until the beginning of November but we do have a few colours in stock now.

Lynn commented more than once about how soft this cowl was. The yarn feels great.

This combination doesn’t have as much contrast as mine but I think it looks just as good.

Edition 3


We knit Andrea Mowry’s The Shift and Inclinations Cowl with Edition 3.

Edition 3 is a DK weight yarn. Wait until you see how many projects you can make with this 100% Extrafine Superwash Merino! You’ll be addicted to the slow, gradual color change in each ball!

150m/164 yards on a 50 gram ball.


This is a brand new colour of Edition 3 - 2531

I used the new colour for these combinations.
This is for The Shift.
For the Inclinations Cowl.
Here is a great shawl that is knit in Edition 3. 

This is Marion Bulin’s Party Edition - pattern purchased on Ravelry. 
It´s time to party => because PARTY EDITION is my 50th pattern ! 
And like at a real party where many different people meet, different colours meet at my shawl – the more the merrier ! 
 
I chose Schoppel´s Edition 3, a pure self-striping merino yarn that comes in wonderful colours. 
Grab your favorite ones and make this shawl unique – whether you make it a small micro scarf with only two balls or a huge „shlanket-size“ shawl with up to ten balls, it is always big fun to knit this because you never know which colours meet next!
This is Matcha Mood - a new pattern from Melanie Berg. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Looking for a shawl that’s divinely cozy? Whip up this frothy, fluffy rectangle shawl as a little treat! 

Garter rows add subtle texture to the body while an open lace pattern adds airy elegance, and the bulky yet lightweight Big Kid Mohair by Walk Collection makes for a surprisingly quick knit. 

Just add a dollop of love and you’ll be good to go. 

Please note that you’ll need to read charts in order to make Matcha Mood.

We don’t have the bulky fluffy yarn that Melanie used but we do have Emma’s Suri Silk that you can double strand. Someone on Ravelry knit the wrap with Rios and it looks stunning.

I’m over halfway through week 6 of my Snowflower. I might get caught up by the weekend.
