Refresh

I spent this afternoon making kits. What for? You will have to wait until tomorrow to find out.

The latest Mason-Dixon Knitting Field Guide is on the way to us.
A welcome breeze of clean, fresh design from Carol Feller, the Irish designer whose work we have loved for many years. These four patterns explore texture, structure, and the beauty of a special yarn. We want to make them all. 




Ravelry pulled me in this afternoon and I came across this shawl from Casapinka. I love the lime and teal. Bronwyn (aka Casapinka) calls this shawl Fabulosity.
I often use “Fabulosity” to describe the state of something “over the top wonderful” which is how I feel about this large, drapey shawl. It’s so fun to wear! Designed as a collaboration with Emma’s Yarn for my annual visit to Four Purls Yarn Shop in Winter Haven, Florida, there are slipped stitches, “made up” decorative increases, dots, mosaic, a dragon scale stitch and a statement border. All of this gives you nothing short of a statement piece of fabulosity!
Materials - Four Skeins of fingering weight yarn. No more than two variegated colors (suggested). Note that Colors A And B should be highly contrasting since they are used in the “Dot” section.
Now I need to finish a newsletter to send out tomorrow. There are kits to tell you about.
