Three Season Tee

Wool & Pine has another new pattern. This is called the Three Season Tee and you can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Three Season Tee, Cardigan, and Pullover are all 30% off through April 13th — no code needed, discount applies automatically at checkout.

Three Season Tee has been the most requested pattern we’ve ever published. We get it. You loved the cardigan but you wanted short sleeves. A tee for the warm months, one that’s light and flirty, a knit you could actually wear in July. Here it is.

Seamless, top-down, with the same cables, lace, and rich textured stitch work you fell in love with, now in a v-neck tee designed for late spring through early fall. Style it up or down, either way you’ll wear it May through November.


Design Details

Not to be smug about it, but we love a clean shoulder join. So the shaping flows naturally with the stitches through the shoulders, the front, and the back neckline, for a fit that’s easy and comfortable all day.

Customize the length and ease to make it your own, choose less for a slimmer fit or more so it’s loose and breezy. Bonus points for the built-in air conditioning: lace sides that let you breathe, with stunning cables and texture running front and back so you can show off your knitting prowess from every angle.


Pattern Highlights

  • Seamless top-down construction
  • V-neckline shaped at the front and back
  • Cables, lace, and textured stitch work on both front and back
  • Scaled motif for visual balance across all sizes
  • Customizable length and ease

Construction Overview

Three Season Tee is worked seamlessly from the top down. The front panels begin with a provisional cast-on and are worked flat, then joined at the v-neck and continued flat to the underarm.

Back shoulders are picked up from the provisional cast-on and worked flat with back-of-neck shaping, then joined and worked as one piece down to the armholes.

At the underarm, the body is joined and worked in the round. The neckline and armholes are both picked up and finished with ribbing in the round.

The sweater is knit in fingering weight yarn. You can do a hand dyed yarn like Emma’s Practically Perfect Sock or Malabrigo Sock or go with a commercial dyed yarn like Kathmandu Fingering.




Most hand dyed yarns do not have a dye lot. Sweet Georgia Tough Love sock does come to us with dye lots on the labels. When we receive yarn from Emma’s or Hedgehog we put a number on the skeins. I think the last shipment was 392. In one shipment we might receive 4, 6, 8 or 12 of a colour. All skeins of that colour (from the same shipment) will have the same number. When you order any yarn from Emma’s or Hedgehog we will make sure that the lots (our numbers) match. You will not be receiving yarn that wasn’t dyed together. If we can’t match the skeins we will contact you and send pictures if necessary.

I took a break from ‘getting the store in order’ to write my post. This also gave me a chance to sit and watch the golf. I’m early today which will give me more knitting time tonight 🥰.

Ooey Gooey Cowl

Here are better pictures of my Ooey Gooey Cowl. I kept rotating the cowl so you can see the different colours. It was one of those projects that you have to keep knitting because you want/need to know what’s coming next.



I made kits with the new colours of Dyed in the Wool. These are available online and in the store.

Yesterday was all about kits. There will be many different colour combinations for Casapinka’s LYS Day shawl pattern. I’m not ready to share the colours yet because I’m still playing with them but here is a sneak peek.
Sorry - not much of a sneak peek. 🤣 The shawl is knit with two skeins of fingering weight yarn. 

Now back to my Inclinations Shawl. A few more days and the first colours will be finished.

Train Knitting

My new project is Andrea Mowry’s Inclinations Shawl.

The shawl is knit with 6 skeins of Spincycle Dream State. I’m starting with Bitter Pill and Salty Dog. Then it will be Close Call with Something Wicked followed by Wild Horses with Melancholia.
I’m trying to get the first two balls knit before we leave. This means packing less yarn.

I’ve knit the shawl 3 times already. Here are pictures of two of them.






It’s a great project for knitting on the train. The pattern is repetitive and easy to remember. 
Beth was having a hard time working this afternoon. Her chair doesn’t fit anywhere near her desk.

New Hat Pattern

Susan Ashcroft has a new hat pattern that was released today. You can purchase Play Like Klee on Ravelry.
The hat is knit in worsted weight yarn so you have many, many yarn options. It’s a great way to use up your odd bits of yarn.

A fun to make colourwork hat you can work as EITHER:

stranded 
or mosaic (slipped stitches)

The pattern includes 3 charts:

  • 5-colour version
  • 9-colour version
  • 2-yarn version (or you can use this chart to colour in and try your own colour sequence)

It is cold outside today. I worked from home and I was watching snowflakes coming down in the back yard.
More on this tomorrow.

New samples

Alex stopped in Saturday morning with my finished Nightshift. This one was knit with Noro Ito in colours 80 & 96. Yes I loved knitting it. Yes I will knit the shawl again. 😍

Alex also brought in my Ooey Gooey Cowl. Sorry for the poor pictures but you get the idea about how the cowl looks. Andrea put a twist in hers but I left it out of mine. I would highly recommend this pattern.

My kit is Bitter Pill.


I hope everyone had a good Easter weekend. It was busy at my house yesterday. We were up by 8 and didn’t sit down until the last guests left at 8:30. Everyone had a great day - especially my dad which is why Beth and I do it.

I spent the morning in the store and all orders placed over the weekend have shipped. A newsletter has been written and was sent. Here is a link to it if you don’t receive our newsletters. Now I need to work on LYS Day. Dad and I will be on a plane to Calgary two weeks from today. Everything has to be ready before we get on the plane.

New Sock Pattern

Meet Lisa K. Ross’ Perennial Sock pattern that you can purchase on Ravelry.

Perennial plants come back year after year, bringing joy, life, and color to our world. These toe-up socks featuring wildflower stitches are the perfect way to capture the spirit of springtime. They are a bit of happiness for your feet that can be worn all year long. It’s the perfect canvas to play with beautiful yarns, transitioning colors through a combination of garter, stockinette, and easy-to-knit wildflowers.

The socks are knit with fingering weight yarn. Lisa used a Theme Pack from Emma’s. 






I’ll tell you a bit more about this during the week. It’s my train knitting.

Tonight’s movie is The Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan . It is Beth’s favourite movie - she can almost recite the whole thing.

LYS Day 2026

Meet the Saga Sweater from PetiteKnit. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

The Saga Sweater is worked from the top down in a texture pattern. First, the top part of the back yoke is worked back and forth on the needle with increases. Then, the shoulders are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the back yoke. The work is then joined on a circular needle to be worked in the round while stitches are picked up and knitted for the sleeves, and the rest of the yoke is worked in the round with raglan increases. The body and the sleeves are worked in the round on a circular needle. At the end, a rib neck edge is worked along the neck opening. 

Begin by knitting a swatch to determine which needle size will give you the correct gauge in the textured pattern. The swatch can be worked using a chart in the pattern. 

The texture pattern is knitted based on the charted pattern.





My mind has been racing about LYS Day. We’re going to have fun in the store on Saturday April 25th. The store will open at 11am and we will stay open until 4pm.


We are going to have draws throughout the day. Every 1/2 hour we are going to hand out tickets to everyone in the store and there will be lucky winners. What are we giving away?
  • Magazines
  • Gift cards
  • Yarn
  • I will be adding until the day.
If you place a mail order on LYS Day we will be putting everyone’s name in a draw for prizes as well.

Weather permitting we will have a table outside with older magazines and they will be $10 each.

I won’t have internet while on the train with dad and I realized last night that we get home the night before LYS Day. Everything has to be finished before I leave. YIKES!!!
