Butterfly

Deidre knit us Butterfly (pattern purchased on Ravelry) using 2 balls of Crazy Zauberball (1702) and 1 skein of SweetGeorgia Tough Love Sock (Cauldron). I will put together combinations later this week and take pictures.

The shawl is stunning. If you are going to knit the shawl I have a suggestion - do not read the pattern. It looks confusing until you get going. You are going think it’s too hard and give up before you start. Cast on and follow the directions and you will see that it works.

The shawl is knit with garter stitch rows and short rows. You need to count so it’s not sitting at your kids hockey game knitting. You will need to pay attention but the results are worth it.

When we showed this shawl at Camp, many of the students had knit it. They all said that once they got going they didn’t have a problem. Many had knit it more than once.

The Purple Maker’s Satchel has arrived. We currently have 2 bags in stock and more will be coming in December. 

Truly a maker’s carryall, the Satchel has been reimagined as a chic doctor’s bag. The Satchel comes equipped with a hard case opening and flat solid bottom, great for keeping your bag propped open to knit or crochet out of, two secure clasp closures, and plenty of pockets and room for projects. Made in soft genuine leather details with brass accents, our newest bag also features an adjustable shoulder strap, a yarn feeder and cutter, decorative pin with 3 emergency lotus stitch markers. 

DIMENSIONS 13.5" (L) x 7" (W) x 12" (H)

The Purple Satchel was created in partnership with Knitty Magazine to celebrate its 20-year-anniversary.

There will be more colours in December as well. What will they be? I believe Blue, Mustard, Olive and Red. 

I have the bag and carried it around during the weekend. It’s beautiful. 

I started my Inclinations Shawl last night. Not far enough for pictures - maybe tomorrow. It’s time for The Voice.
