The Return of the Skip + Wizard Combo!
We've shared the Skip Cowl with you a couple of times and we're sharing it AGAIN because we finally got a major restock of the yarn involved - Berocco's truly wizardly Wizard - and we're never not astonished by how different Skip looks when worked up in completely different color combinations. Bonus: Wizard's blend of extra fine Merino wool and nylon is so soft, warm and durable; it's perfect as we head into the second half of winter.
Skip is a quickly-rewarding knit; it works up fast...and Wizard's magical blend of color-shifting hues never fails to surprise as you make your way through Skip's top-down, slip stitched construction. New this season are solid colorways!
Shop all fifty billion colors of Wizard HERE! One solid Wizard and one multi-color Wizard are required to complete your Skip (Bonus #2: You'll have enough yarn remaining to make a second one). The pattern for Skip is right HERE! 24" circular US 10 needles are HERE if you're fresh out.
*Samples shown are knit in Basalt + Moonstone (top) and Snow + Abalone Shell (botttom)
Seasonless: BACK IN SEASON!
We're thrilled to announce that we've just unpacked a fresh box of our great friend Karen Templer's Seasonless – Patterns for Life, which the good folks at Amirisu sent back to press after selling out almost instantly.
Seasonless contains five fundamental knitwear pieces that are all customizable in terms of stitch pattern and shape. Using the same basic gauge in worsted weight yarn, you can make countless versions of the fingerless mitts, hat, vest, sweater, and cardigan designs by combining your favorite colors, any of the four stitch variations (stockinette, bold stripes, mosaic, and textured), and different shaping options. All of the patterns are genderless and size-inclusive, so there's almost no wrong choice!
