New Patterns

Cheryl Faust has a new pattern called Iris Loop (purchased on Ravelry).

Iris, with her stunning stranded colorwork, is a moebius cowl that is the epitome of ease, style and comfort all rolled into one. Simply slip it over your head, give it a little fluff, and voila – you’re out the door and on-the-go chic!

Iris loop begins with a provisional cast on and is knit in the round as a tube. After blocking, the tube is twisted once and the live ends are grafted together with Kitchener Stitch to form a continuous twisted loop.

The cowl is knit with 2 colours of fingering weight yarn. Cheryl used Spincycle Dyed in the Wool for her colourful yarn. Crazy Zauberball or Starke 6 would be a good substitute. We are expecting more Crazy Zauberball early next week.

Brian Smith has a new shawl pattern that you can purchase on Ravelry.

Firstly, a triangle is worked top down, then stitches are picked up along one side and a second triangle is worked. This shawl has a generous length, enabling the wearer to wrap two or three times around the neck. 

The shawl is knit with 2 skeins of Hedgehog Sock for the main part of the shawl. You need 44m of the contrast colour.

Alex is making progress on her Tessellated Sweater. She has split for the armhole and is working on the front. The colours look awesome and Alex is really happy with how it looks so far.

Meet Milo. His mom brought him to the store to show off his Noro coat (Noro Ito). The coat looks great and his mom said he likes wearing it.
