Our friends at Churchmouse Yarns have new patterns. Printed copies of the patterns are on the way to us but you might need to get started right away. You can purchase the pattern for the Easy Eyelet Poncho and Wrap on Raverly.

In possibly the simplest lace pattern that exists (it’s a one-row repeat!), we’ve reinterpreted this wrap in so many yarns over the years. Now we’ve seamed it into an easy poncho for a breezy, multi-season layer. Quick to knit, it’s got more holes than yarn! 

For the heavy worsted-weight version of our Easy Eyelet Wrap, we used one strand of DK-weight Rowan Softyak DK and one strand of lace-weight Kidsilk Haze held together. For the DK-weight poncho, we used Rowan Creative Linen. 

Poncho shown in 3 skeins Rowan Creative Linen (219yds/200m each)

Wrap shown in 4 skeins Rowan Kidsilk Haze (229 yds/210m each) and 5 skeins Rowan Softyak DK (148 yds/135m each) held together throughout. 

I put together a few lighter, more spring like colour combinations of Softyak and Kidsilk Haze.

Beth had a work function tonight so I am puppy sitting. Wow is it cold outside. The wind is blowing across the field right at our house and Boscoe isn't quick to do his business. It takes a while to find the perfect spot. He might go quicker if he didn't like to play in the snow.
