What's on our needles?

 


Pattern: Forrest Shawl by Linda Dobratz

Yarn: Silk DK by Sewrella



This shawl begins with just a few stitches and grows into a boomerang shape. It is the perfect addition to a tee shirt and jeans and will keep you cozy in the air conditioning as well as on a crisp Fall day.


Linda says this new yarn feels so amazing and glides across the needles!

This is a fun knit for nature lovers. Three large moose graze beneath two rows of trees and a cloud filled sky. Knitting the second set of trees and moose upside down makes the blanket is fully reversible top to bottom, and front to back. Included are instructions for a matching hat featuring the trees.
