Albina Sweater + Zooey

Is it just us or are striped sweaters "having a moment"? So many cute, fun little striped patterns popping up and instantly being added to our Ravelry queue.

Us? We're completely smitten with Albina!  It's super versatile, comfortable and chic! We envision Albina knit up in Juniper Moon Farm's Zooey, which is a DK-weight 60/40 cotton/linen blend with a slight thick-and-thin texture. It's the quintessential summer yarn and softens up substantially with washing -- which is easy to do since it’s machine washable! 


Shop Zooey Here! You can grab the pattern for Albina here.

* Zooey yardage requirements for finished garment size at bust: 38 (42.25, 46.5, 50.5, 54.75, 59){63.25, 67.5, 71.5, 75.75}” , MC 3 (3, 3, 3, 4, 4){4, 5, 5, 5} , CC 2 (2, 2, 2, 2, 3){3, 3, 3, 3}

Christmas in July?

We thought we might not jump on traditional Christmas in July bandwagon this year...until the 2024 version of Firefly Notes' Advent Calendar arrived! So ta-da! CHRISTMAS IN JULY!

Enjoy 25 days of stitch marker surprises from this stunning stitch marker advent calendar! This year's theme is "Forest & Feathers" and includes 20 (10mm) no-snag round stitch markers and 5 progress keepers; every door unveils a bit of forest-inspired magic.

These advent calendars have become a Haus tradition, but this is the earliest we've ever gotten these; they never last long! You can find the advent calendar HERE (while they last). There's even a matching notions tin to store all the stitch markers in as well. 🌲
