Casting On: Boneyard Shawl March 13th, 2014 | Link I’ve been pretty good about not acquiring new yarn since destashing a couple of years ago, but once in a while I do pick up a skein or two without thinking about what I want to do with it.
Right now I have a few skeins of gray lace-weight yarn (I know — shocker!) And two skeins of this madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in Robin Red Breast (420 yards/384 metres).

The Scarves of Christmas Past January 7th, 2013 | Link. Patterns List. Firefly Bias Scarf. Last month, I wrote about some of the linen yarns that we carry at the shop.
When we received the Classic Elite Firefly, I was struck by the beautiful colors and the interesting texture of the yarn. I took home a few balls of the steely gray to play with and a sweet little stockinette bias-knit scarf was born. Knitting on the bias is basically knitting diagonally.

The Leah Gloves, with small detail at the top of the glove, perfectly fit the bill! The Leah Gloves are knitted flat, and later seamed at the side using the mattress stitch.

Knitting in Circles. In This Chapter Creating circles and cylinders with ease Using circular and double-pointed needles Making cowls, wrist warmers, hats, and bags most knitters learn to knit with something flat because they think that it’s easier.
