As Soon As Possible

It is time to say goodbye to madelinetosh ASAP so we've marked it down to $22.50 a skein (in the store and on the website).

We need room for the Malabrigo Rasta that should be arriving soon.

Here are some garments that I have knit with ASAP. I love knitting something that grows fast.

Leaf took 2 skeins.

Winter Cove took two skeins of ASAP and was a very fast, fun knit.

Holi Party was a weekend knit.

The Big Hat is knit with one skein.

I used three skeins to make Auburn Wave. You can see my pattern modifications here.

The next Pompom Quarterly will be available in the store on November 27.

Welcome to winter, a collection of patterns inspired by terrain awaits you. The designs are a nod to the tactile and three-dimensional nature of knitwear, but also explorations of the deeper meanings of maps, journeys, and boundaries. The designers, yarn producers, and writers come from, have moved to, and have cultural roots in many different parts of the world. We hope that the stories that are woven into their words and designs will ground you at this busy time of year.

The cover sweater is called Saltings. It is knit with a strand of fingering and a strand of lace weight mohair. The cables are gorgeous.

Saltings is worked flat in pieces from the bottom up, using a strand each of yarn A and B held together throughout. Armholes and sleeves are a modified drop shoulder construction with a slightly dropped shoulder and a short, wide sleeve cap. Three sets of cables at the centre front and back are placed on hold during neck shaping and continued into the collar interspersed by sections of 2x2 rib.
