As we head off to TNNA to see what’s new in knitting, crochet, and weaving for the Fall, we’ll close the shop from Thursday, May 28th – Monday, June 1st<\/strong>, reopening on Tuesday, June 2nd<\/strong>. I’ll be blogging a bit from the show, but til then, here’s some show-and-tell, all in soft, solid shades, projects that have recently been completed in HYS yarns.<\/p>\n

Here’s Amy’s “Kindling”<\/a> shawl, knit in preparation for her upcoming class on the subject. The yarn is Fibre Company Savannah<\/a>, a lofty sport weight blend of merino, cotton, soy, and linen. Amy enlarged her shawl by continuing the main body for one additional pattern repeat before working the lace edging. The patterning\u00a0shows so clearly in this pale green shade, a wise choice for such intricate knitting.<\/p>\n

Speaking of upcoming classes, Marsha recently dropped off this adorable “Pleated Ballet Flat,”<\/a> a sample for her upcoming class. She used the aran weight Plymouth Royal Llama Silk in a robin’s egg blue.<\/p>\n

For such a small piece of knitting, these slippers are packed with techniques, from picking up and knitting to short rows to working in the round\u00a0on two circular needles. Check out all our upcoming classes on our website<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Jodi brought her beautiful “Tier”<\/a> scarf in for show-and-tell just before shipping it off to her sister-in-law. She knit it in Shibui Twig<\/a>, a summery blend of linen, silk, and wool, and carefully blocked it to gently-draping perfection.<\/p>\n

Last week, Anne quickly worked up a textured baby hat in the luxurious Debbie Bliss Pure Cashmere in a buttery yellow hue. The (free!) pattern is Christine Roy’s “That easy Guernsey hat,”<\/a> and comes in toddler, child, and adult sizes, too.<\/p>\n

Margie has been busy knitting “Shaelyn”<\/a> shawls in Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool as gifts for good friends. Here’s the first one off her needles, in a rustic\u00a0shade of beige.<\/p>\n
