One of our greatest joys as yarn-shopkeepers is seeing what knitters, crocheters, and weavers make with our yarns. I\u2019m always collecting photos of finished projects as they come through the shop for show and tell, letting them build up until I have enough for a\u00a0blog post. It’s rare\u00a0that I have enough for two show-and-tell<\/a>\u00a0posts in a month, but October has been one such month.<\/p>\n

When Sidney felt the first Autumn chill in the air, she saw a need in her wardrobe for a cowl. She came to the shop seeking yarn for Katherine Vaughan’s “Here and There and Everywhere,”<\/a> and settled on Malabrigo Rios<\/a>. It was hardly a week before she walked in wearing it, but, as she pointed out, it’s amazing how quickly you can knit when you need something. I love the way the guernsey-style texture pattern looks in this semi-solid yarn.<\/p>\n

Here’s my “Kaarina Pullover,”<\/a>\u00a0knit in Swans Island All American Sport<\/a>. I finished it in the middle of the Swans Island Trunk Show<\/a>, so I hung it up here at the shop with the rest of the All American Sport garments til the show ends on November 1st, 2015.<\/p>\n

I’m happy with how it came out, and especially happy with the yarn. It was springy and soft in the hand, and softer still after blocking. I’m looking forward to putting it on soon!<\/p>\n

Anne has a newly-finished sweater on the wall here, too; here’s her “Slope,”<\/a> knit in Shibui Twig<\/a>. Like many Shibui patterns, “Slope” looks deceptively simple at first glance. Take a closer look at the pattern, and you’ll find smart, carefully-chosen design elements. You might just learn a new cast-on or short-row technique along the way–Anne did!<\/p>\n

Here’s Sue’s latest scarf, woven on her Schacht Cricket Loom<\/a>. For warp, she used Isager Alpaca 1, and for weft, she used Habu Cotton Nerimaki Slub. These two yarns are alike in color, but very different in fiber content and texture, and the resulting fabric is both fascinating and understated.<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone who brings in projects to share with us, whether at the beginning, middle, or end of the process. We love to see what you\u2019re working on, and feel lucky to be surrounded by such creative and talented people. Hope to see you at the shop soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
