Earlier in the week, I shared a few\u00a0of the many Brooklyn Tweed works-in-progress<\/a> that began life as yarns on our shelves. I can’t wait to see them all grown up and completed, just like this next group of garments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nancy knit this “Pei”<\/a> cowl by Michele Wang with just one skein of Brooklyn Tweed Loft, using the color “Birdbook,” a mossy green. She kindly left it with us to display for awhile, so look for it next time you’re here at the shop!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Katherine used Brooklyn Tweed Arbor<\/a>\u00a0in “Hammock” and Fibre Company Acadia<\/a>\u00a0in “Blueberry” together to knit these “Gimmers”<\/a>\u00a0by Ann Kingstone. Technically this is a work-in-progress, as the second mitt is still underway, but I couldn’t resist photographing this stunning bit of colorwork, even before blocking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I knit this “Banff”<\/a> hat by tincanknits in three sittings, loving every stitch of Brooklyn Tweed Shelter,<\/a> plotting a sweater with it already. The yarn is soft and light, feeling somehow spongey or doughy in the hand, and strange as that description may sound, it’s such a satisfying fiber to work with, I can scarcely recommend it highly enough! I chose the colors “Snowbound” and “Long Johns,” an evocative combination.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Katherine knit this “Bradway”<\/a> shawl, by Shannon Cook, using three shades of Shelter: “Fossil,” “Truffle Hunt,” and “Almanac.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Her upcoming class on the subject still has a couple of openings; sign up now<\/a> if you’d like to claim one!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thanks to all the knitters, crocheters, weavers, and other fiber artists who begin their projects with a trip to the Hillsborough Yarn Shop, and thanks to those who bring them back to show us the finished product!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
