Need a Quick Knit for this Cold Weather?
Dec 5th 2024
Brrr, it's chilly this week! Whether you're wanting to whip up something cozy for yourself,
or looking for your next quick-to-knit gift project, we recommend casting on a colorful Sophie Shawl to stay warm. This playful twist on the classic wardrobe staple, designed by PetiteKnit, is worked back and forth in one piece, from tip to tip in garter stitch with built-in i-cord edges for a polished look.
For our Sophie Shawl we used self-striping Juniper Moon Farm Fairy Floss yarn (featured here in the colorway Supernatural). This fun, color gradient yarn is a luxurious blend of airspun baby alpaca, virgin merino wool and polyamide. With its super bulky gauge, Fairy Floss creates bold, statement-worthy pieces perfect for cold weather comfort. Each skein boasts 328 yards of yarn, meaning we were able to knit a size small Sophie Shawl with just one ball!
We recommend using a size US 9 needle for this version of the Sophie Shawl, as our yarn choice is thicker then the pattern recommends.
Guess what's back?! We just got our last shipment of the year from ReDesigned, and our beloved Project 09 bags are back in stock (featured above in Walnut/Gold). Project 09 is a gorgeous high end, luxury leather knitting bag that seamlessly blends meticulous craftsmanship with functionality and style.
The rectangular Project 09 bag effortlessly folds open to hold your yarn, and inside you’ll find slots and pockets for keeping your needles, notions and hooks safe when you're on the move. If you've had your eye on these, we recommend acting fast before they sell out again.
We're excited to announce that when the New Year arrives, we'll be staying open late every Thursday to host weekly Knit Nights down at the shop! We've been craving more time with our close knit community and look forward to opening our doors each week to invite local makers in, with the goal of providing a welcoming space full of creative inspiration for knitters, crocheters, and handworkers of all types.
