Pattern: Baby Romper in Panama by Katia 
Yarn: Concept by Katia 

Mary is knitting a fun short-sleeved romper this month (pale blue one in the picture). Concept (90% Cotton and 10% Cashmere) is the perfect yarn for this pattern and will make for a comfortable and soft fabric for little ones. The pattern comes in sizes 3 to 18 months.


Our Recently Completed Projects

Pattern: Magra by Donna Yacino 
Yarn: Estiva by Berroco 
 
The Magra bag is composed of a solid body topped with a series of crochet medallions and handles. It starts and ends with the darker color with the lighter color in the middle. The Magra bag uses 2 cakes of Berroco Estiva.


Pattern: Marin by Ysolda Teague 
Yarn: Stargazer by Juniper Moon Farms 

From Ravelry: Reversible, symmetrical, with long points and a shape that curves gently around your neck Marin is easy to throw over any outfit. No need to worry about spotting your gift recipient wearing it inside out either. Knit from side to side it makes the most of the simplest stitch patterns and shaping techniques. The entire shawl is worked in garter stitch and ribbing with a few effectively placed cables and neat slipped stitch selvedges. Kitty used 2+ skeins of Juniper Moon Farm's Stargazer (Color 31 - Spinel).

Happy Easter

Fibre Company


Road to China Light, a new sport weight yarn from Fibre Company has arrived.
It is a luxurious blend of 65% Alpaca, 15% Silk, 10% Camel and 10% Cashmere that creates a knit fabric with a soft halo but enough definition to explore subtle textures and shifting patterns.
