Classic Cables and Alpaca Sparkle

Tin Can Knits has a new pattern. This is called Bracken and you can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Bracken is the vest you’ve been waiting for! It combines our favourite classic cables, delicious texture, and a modern silhouette.

The vest is knit in worsted weight yarn. I think Cascade 220 or Cascade 220 Heathers would be a great yarn choice. The yarn is a bit firmer and will show the cables. The stitch definition will be impressive.

Mr. FedEx came with our second shipment from Rowan. Felted Tweed Soft and Alpaca Sparkle. We didn’t receive our full shipment of books - these are still sitting in Mississauga but we received enough books that I was able to ship out to everyone who ordered. UPS picked up the first set and then Dad drove the rest to the UPS store for me.

I believe we still have a few Alpaca Sparkle magazines (with more coming).

This collection of twelve designs by Lisa Richardson is perfect for those looking for a touch of elegance, timeless luxury and a hint of winter glamour. The yarn, Alpaca Sparkle is a perfect blend of warmth and sparkle and with this sophisticated yarn, we have created a range of garments and accessories to complement the beautiful yarn shades.

Alpaca Sparkle blends alpaca, wool and cotton with a hint of sparkle. The complementary coloured sequins ensure that just the right amount of subtle sparkle is achieved when they gently catch the light. A beautiful yarn which delivers warmth, softness and a touch of luxe.

The yarn and magazine are available online and in the store.

Last night was late - thankfully we won the game. I might knit a few rows and then to bed.
