Another round of show and tell is in order! The theme of this bunch is lace.
First up is Bailey’s most recently completed shop sample, a “Tolsta Tee” knit with Brooklyn Tweed Dapple. This plush blend of organic cotton and merino wool works up beautifully at this open gauge, which, combined with the eyelet rows, make for a comfortable, breathable garment. Pattern by Rebecca Clow.
Here’s Karin’s “De Nada,” a shawl designed by Sanne Kalmbacher. Karin used Isager Alpaca 2 in a juicy magenta shade.
Margaretta brought in two lace projects to share – here’s her “Scarflette,” by Justyna Lorkowska, knit with local High Rock Alpaca.
For her “Aloft,” Margaretta held two yarns together: Sandnes Garn Tynn Line and Isager Silk Mohair.
This synergistic mix of colors and fibers is stunning in person – how we love the magic of mohair! Pattern by Bekah Knits, from Laine’s 52 Weeks of Shawls.
Speaking of mohair magic, here’s Michele’s “Ranunculus,” knit with Brooklyn Tweed Arbor and Neighborhood Fiber Co. Loft held together. The hand-dyed mohair/silk blend subtly tints the DK weight wool, making a unique blend. We’re nearly sold out of NFC Loft, but have lots of Malabrigo Mohair and Hand Maiden Superkid Silk that would have a similar effect!
Thanks to Bailey, Karin, Margaretta, and Michele for sharing your projects with us – we love seeing what you make, and can’t wait to see what’s next!
