Snow

Beata who owns Hedgehog Fibres has a brand new pattern. Meet Le Pouf Sweater (pattern free on Ravelry). You are doubling Hedgehog Sock on 4mm needles. The possible colour combinations....
Simple top down stockinette sweater, that let’s you get creative with your yarns! Find an awesome combination of colours that makes you happy! 
This is achieved by starting with two strands of Colour A, then you will drop one strand of A and replace it with one strand of B. After that, two strands of Colour B and so on. There is no striping with this technique and marling creates a softer transition.

Tips on achieving a seamless fade: use speckled or variegated yarns, colour changes with semi-solid yarns will be more obvious. If you want to use a semi-solid skein, it is best placed at the beginning or the end of your fade sequence.
Sarah has her knitting groove on! She is making Newleaf with Biches & Buches Le Petit Lambswool and Spincycle Dyed in the Wool. The colours are fabulous.
We are supposed to see snow tomorrow and more than a little bit of snow. YIKES! I'm not ready. I need to find my winter boots.
