“Quick Knits, Second Helping”

If you’ve had time to work on one or a few of the last group of projects, bravo! We’re not wanting to rush anyone, but certainly want to keep the ideas flowing and give everyone a chance to try something new in all types of fibers. We hope the new ideas are inspiring as well as fast! Have fun!”

The Fountain Hood” was designed and knit by Beth Hood, who has recently been added to the “Luxury Yarn One Skein Wonders” hall of fame books.  We’re all very proud of her!  Try her new design with just one skein of Gemstone Soft Twist Silk and create a luxurious gift for yourself or someone special.  If the book isn’t in your budget we have the single pattern available as well. 1540001p
The “Adult Big Hat” designed by Ann Norling, knit by Gwynn Erickson

Here’s a fun, quick knit that won’t muss your hair over the long winter ahead.  Gwynn used a double strand of the Victorian Boucle and made this lightweight, soft accessory to take the chill away without the dreaded hat head of old.  Great idea Gwynn.  Pattern #40401800.

“Edgar” designed by Silke Hupka, knit by Denice Sharpe

Test your skills a bit with a geometric flair that is easy and produces a fast but intricate look. The Edgar Scarf is a free download from Knitty.com and was knit in Noro Silk Garden in a cravat size with one skein.  If you prefer a long scarf,  I’d suggest two skeins so you can make it anywhere from 60″ to 85″  long for a warm and colorful adornment that will go with just about any coat!

“Simply Organic and Sublime Cowl” designed and knit by Denice Sharpe

Whip this sweet thing up over the weekend even if you are a new knitter and are watching the games at the same time.  Sublime’s Organic Merino DK is soft, luxurious and ever so warm, not to mention the environmental bonus of a 100% pure organic merino wool. This is a cozy thick Cowl, and requires two skeins. Gotta love green wool!  Item #1360000P

Sophisticated Weekend Scarf” designed and knit by Denice Sharpe

This scarf was knit lengthwise on size 10, 40″ circular needles.  Once you cast on, a few rows later you are binding off!  The Botanica and Victorian Boucle are paired alternately and create a sophisticated scarf that wraps a couple of times or cinches nicely in half to leave your neck draped in warmth without the bulk.  Get creative with color combinations or keep it the same for a more elegant look.  It’s definitely a must have!

    Lovely designs – but not one single one for a crocheter- we outnumber knitters and we like nice new patterns too.
