Ranunculus - The Perfect Summer Sweater!

Ranunculus is a surprisingly quick project, knit at a very loose gauge with BIG needles. That combo gives a light and airy texture to this top-down pullover. Our sample is knit in Tussah Tweed from BC Garn -- a lovely, light fingering-weight yarn made with the silk of wild silkworms. It has a slightly slubby texture speckled with nubs of complementary colored silk and it's got a wonderful drape. We love this yarn for summer knitting -- and it's available in a palette of rich, earthy shades.

We have seventeen pieces on display, all knit in Peerie, Loft or Shelter. Two of our favorites: Sempervivum in Loft and the Lucerne hat knit in BT's newest yarn Peerie.

Fix-It Class!

Let's face it: we ALL make mistakes when we knit. We drop a stitch or forget a yarnover and don't see it until the next row...and sometimes we're not quiiiiite sure how to fix it! If this sounds a little too familiar to you, you need to take Sue's next class!
