It's still winter, and you are probably tired of all your scarves and shawls. You can knit this Colorblock Bias Wrap in Classic Elite Chateau and Chalet yarn in a jiffy and have an almost instant wardrobe update. So cozy, this wrap will take the place of a jacket in the Spring.
New Noro! Kureopatora is a 100% wool yarn that is soft! Comes in Noro's great bright colorways. Make yourself a cheerful cowl like the Downtown Cowl, free on Ravelry, with just one skein. We did change the pattern just a bit - cast on 210 stitches, and knit the following rounds: 7, 9, 45, 47.
New from Queensland, Llama Lace Melange. This 100% llama fingering weight yarn is so so soft with great drape. We knit the Spring Kerchief, which calls for holding the yarn doubled, with two skeins. This pattern is easy for beginners, but entertaining enough for accomplished knitters!
