Champagne Cardigan
New colors of Sandnes Garn Double Sunday and Tynn Silk Mohair have hit our shelves...and the elusive Light Grey is BACK IN STOCK for all of you who've been patiently waiting!
We love the Champagne Cardigan so much that we've knit it twice! Meg has her eye on that new Lemon shade, so there might be another one in her future. It's worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke and a deep V-neck. Knit holding two strands of yarn together (one strand of Sandnes Garn Double Sunday along with one strand of Sandnes Garn Tynn Silk Mohair), the fabric produced is incredibly soft. There's just something magical how that lace weight strand of silk mohair adds so much squishy softness to the fabric!
Shop Double Sunday HERE and Tynn Silk Mohair HERE. The pattern for the Champagne Cardi is HERE.
Note: it might seem a little tricky calculating yardage for the Champagne Cardigan (since the pattern specifies grams), but we've done some of the figuring for you. Just check the chart above for help with the appropriate number of skeins of both Double Sunday and Tynn Silk Mohair!
I See You
We're currently loving this Evil Eye collection from SweetTea yarns...a little extra protection against evil spirits and bad luck never hurts!
The I See You Sock Kit comes with 540 yards of custom-dyed fingering yarn (a variegated neutral-ish base plus a mini-skein for toe/heel contrast fun, both in a 75/25 Merino/nylon blend), a sturdy, zippered, box-bottomed sock-sized project bag and an adorable enameled lobster-clawed progress keeper. Just conjure up your favorite sock pattern (we know you have one!) and you’re all set to go.If you love the bag that comes with that sock kit, take a look at its big brother, the Extra Large I See You Sweater Bag! It’s made with the same sturdy, durable denim, but comes in at a whopping 17” x 12” — large enough for almost any sweater project (we have seven skeins of yarn in ours)! It’s got a zippered top and a boxed-bottom and a side handle for easy carrying.You can find all the fabulous I See You swag here, including a fantastic trio of progress keepers!
