Time for another round of show and tell! I love to take photos of finished projects when folks bring them into the shop to share with us, and to share them here on our blog. I always seem to have a backlog of photos, thanks to the many productive knitters and crocheters who frequent our shop. Here\u2019s a batch of show and tell featuring those most ambitious of projects \u2013 blankets!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Above is Nancy’s “Karoo Vintage”<\/a> blanket, a magnum opus of colorful crochet. She used a variety of yarns, all plant fibers – Cascade Ultra Pima<\/a>, Universal Bamboo Pop<\/a>, Shibui Rain<\/a>, Tahki Cotton Classic, and others. Bravo, Nancy!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next two blankets come from a different Nancy, one who prefers to knit. Above is her “Tweed Baby Blanket,”<\/a> knit with Brooklyn Tweed Shelter<\/a> in a pleasing gradient of red and pink.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Nancy also made this “Umaro”<\/a> baby blanket with Brooklyn Tweed Arbor. The simplicity of white brings clarity to this incredible stitch pattern. Nancy was generous enough to create this blanket for the shop as a sample – don’t miss admiring it next time you’re in!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Amy also completed an “Umaro”<\/a> blanket recently, using Brooklyn Tweed Quarry<\/a> held double. This intricate stitch pattern looks entirely new at such a large gauge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Amy has an “Umaro” class underway at the shop now, and we’re so looking forward to seeing all the cozy blankets that come out of it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thanks to Nancy, Nancy, and Amy for sharing their work, and to everyone who starts their projects with a trip to the Hillsborough Yarn Shop! We can\u2019t wait to see what you make next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
