Sometimes we lose our knitting mojo and need an easy, don’t have to think too much project. Churchmouse Yarns has reworked their Boyfriend Watch Cap with Blue Sky Organic Cotton Worsted. A great way to get that mojo back. (Yes, I’m speaking from experience. I’ve kind of lost my mojo this week and am going to knit a square for my log cabin afghan to get it back - an easy project.)
Knit this cozy, deeply cuffed cap for him—and then borrow it back! It’s handsome worn turned up for traditional sailor style, but we love it uncuffed and slouchy, too. We’ve made the ribbed cuff nice and deep so you can fold it a long way up without the wrong side of the stockinette stitch showing. Plus, this cap is a quick knit, which is great because you’re bound to be asked for more.
The Boyfriend Watch Cap is plush and wonderfully soft in Blue Sky Fibers Organic Cotton. Cotton is soft by nature and this fiber lets all that natural softness bounce right through its loose 2-ply twist! Organic Cotton Worsted—100% certified organic and environmentally friendly—has a springy-ness that’s reminiscent of wool and a fantastic range of deeply saturated colors. Pick a soothing neutral or a fun pop—and then pick another!
You can purchase the pattern on Churchmouse’s website.
Created using a blend of an ink press and the artisan hand, this unique printing process creates a one of a kind hank.Lynn was in the store with me today and worked on displays. She worked on Organic Cotton and the colours are hanging now.
A typical British tweed looking yarn. Loch Lomond is woolen spun. That means it has a nice volume and at the same time a good long yardage. This results in very light garments. The rustique look with the typical tweed nups inspires you for warm cardigans, real men’s sweaters but also for very warm shawls. And last but not least: It is GOTS certfified, that means from sheep to dye stuff, from production to stock keeping and packing, each step is inspected carefully and in line with very strict organic and social standards.
The raw wool for Loch Lomond comes from mulesing-free farms in South America. It is spun and dyed in Turkey.
More stock will be coming for fall.
The next yarn is Crazy. This will be finished on Monday. These balls don’t sit on the shelf nicely so we’re going to try them on hooks.
You can make an easy shawl with one cake or imagine the funky dishcloths you could make.

Yes, I like a quick and easy project between the larger ones, too. The hat is a staple for every closet. Your yarn colors brought oooohs, and ahhhhs, from this side of the screen! Lovely! And, of course, the picture of Jackson is so sweet.... ;)
