Have you seen the new Maai from ShiBui? An entirely luxurious blend of 70% superbaby alpaca and 30% merino in a springy chainette construction. The plush intervals of chain bloom to create light, cushiony knits with incredible softness - perfect for next-to-skin garments and accessories. M.1, a free pattern with yarn purchase, will be your go-to scarf pattern. It's i-cord edge, slipped stitch detail, and good structure make this lightweight and warm scarf perfect for men and women.
Stack of dishcloths! Great portable project, and perfect hostess gift. All these patterns are from the Kitchen Brights Dishcloths booklet, which includes a total of 10 patterns. We were able to knit all 5 of these cloths from just one ball of Jarbo Garn Elise. This is a springy cotton/acrylic yarn with colorful stripes.
