Painting Shawls

Stephen West has new patterns coming out tomorrow. I ‘borrowed’ these pictures from Instagram. You will be able to purchase the patterns individually or as an ebook on Ravelry or Stephen’s website.

Stephen West's newest book is almost here, Painting Shawls contains 13 knitting patterns to paint with yarn. The shawl patterns featured in the book are a mixture of new and existing Westknits shawl patterns. They all feature a main colour with contrast colour pops, so you can customise the colours for your own wearable work of art.





I can’t wait for this pattern. Freia Minikins might work great mixed with Madelinetosh Merino Light.



We hope to get copies of the books but it won’t be until summer. It is too expensive to have them shipped from Europe - we need to wait until they are printed in the US.

We are expecting snow on Wednesday and Thursday. If it comes we won’t be in the store for pick up on Thursday. Please call ahead of coming to make sure we made it in. If the answering machine picks up then we’re at home digging out.

We have a date for reopening. Wednesday February 16th. Our hours will be Wednesday - Saturday from 11am-4pm.


The Freia Wall. We need to do a bit of tweeking and find a few colours that are missing but I think it’s very pretty.


I’m behind on my Temperature blanket but will try and catch up tonight. Now I’m just one day behind. It has been very dark because it’s been so cold but the next few days are going to be warmer so I’ll be working with lighter colours.
