Here are 8 more shades of Kidsilk Haze.
It’s almost time for Joji’s Fall KAL. You can read all about it in her Ravelry group.
In Rowan Magazine 72 we celebrate 20 years of Kidsilk Haze! This iconic yarn has been a mainstay in the Rowan range for two decades and remains a firm favourite with knitters all over the world. To mark the occasion, they have introduced 39 new shades, creating a true paintbox palette, which is explored in the main magazine story Kidsilk Haze Celebration. Your favourite Rowan designers bring a beautiful collection, photographed against the statuesque backdrop of a grand stately home.
The second story, Texture In Nature, continues with the celebratory theme, this time championing British yarn, Moordale. Lisa Richardson’s classic autumn winter collection delivers in both style and practicality, with timeless nature-inspired designs which will transcend the autumn winter seasons. This British yarn is truly at home in the Yorkshire countryside, the backdrop to this beautiful story.

If you haven't yet had the pleasure of scrolling through Amy Christoffers' 602 designs on Ravelry, you are about to be very impressed. No only is she a super talented knitwear designer for Berroco Yarns, but she's also the life of the party when we all get together at Rhinebeck each year! She's such a kind person and brilliant story teller.
When Rachel saw her Pressed Flowers shawl, she immediately started putting her four color fade together! It turned out beautifully, with a stained glass appearance where the stockinette flowers pop through the textured body of the shawl. Doesn't Rachel look gorgeous in it?
Rachel used Dream State Rosey Maple, Wololo, The Family Jewels and Melancholia.
You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Gather a colorful pile of fingering weight yarns to knit this modular garter stitch blanket. Two strands of yarn are always held together to create melting marl color blocks. Each section is knit seamlessly by picking up stitches and attaching new sections to previous sections while you knit. Use leftover yarns from your shawls or socks and try incorporating fluffy mohair or suri alpaca yarns into your palettes for cloudy soft shapes. This blanket is a great size for your couch, so you can bundle up in all your favorite yarns as you knit your next project.
This is Stephen West’s new Jigsaw Puzzle Blanket. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Hi Julie, here is picture of my finished logcabin blanket. Started June 20th and finished earlier this week. It’s a gift for a friend, who is moving back to Brandon, Manitoba. Thanks for the colour selections. Hunter is supervising the photo shoot.
Starting on June 20th and having the blanket finished by August 12th is amazing.
Lynn finished her Elah last night and it is gorgeous.
Lynn knit the 3rd size and used just over 6 balls of Le Lambswool in the colour Soft Dark Grey. Lynn said that she loved knitting with the yarn and will definitely knit with it again. She also said that Isabell Kraemer writes a great pattern and she highly recommends looking at her designs and knitting one of her garments. You can find all of Isabell’s patterns on Ravelry.
Using the Cascade 220 I purchased when at the store in June.Almost finished the front. I am going to finish the current skein which should get me to row 11 or so. Then put in a lifeline, use the two full skeins for sleeves, making them 3/4 cuz that works best for me and this climate. Then I will decide how long to make the front/back or the leftovers from the sleeves will decide that for me. Fronts are about 10” now.
I can’t wait to see it finished.
You still have time to join our KAL for Elah. You can find the details in this blog post.
