Pattern: Tarla Shawl by Catherine Salter Bayar

Yarn: Uneek Cotton by Urth

From Ravelry.com: "A garter stitch eyelet leaf lace runs along one side, as this right angle triangular scarf grows 1 stitch each row along the other. “Tarla” means “field” in Turkish, so envision a tract of seed stitch working into a hedgerow of garter stitch, then replanted by a plot of 1x1 vertical rib bounded again by garter stitch. These fields alternate positions to complete this reversible 2-skein project."

Pattern: Break of Dawn by Janina Kallio

Yarn: Smooshy Cashmere by Dream in Color

From Ravelry.com: "Break of Dawn is a one skein wonder for your favorite fingering weight yarn. This quick-to-knit crescent shawl has a garter stitch body and diamond lace border. It’s worked from the top down and there’s no purling!

"The garter stitch body is decorated with evenly placed eyelet stripes. The beautiful diamond lace is worked on right side rows only and the pattern is easy to memorize after a few repeats."

Cowl Kits - Perfect for Christmas!

We have two amazing cowl kits that we know you will love - one to knit and another to crochet! 

Cooma is a light and airy cowl that provides lots of warmth. Holding fingering and mohair together is all the rage right now (and for good reason, it’s stunning!) It is fast and fun to knit and also a bit addictive. It would make a great gift for all your knit-worthy friends and family! 

Cro-Cooma is the crochet version of the popular knit Cooma Cowl. Stands of mohair and silk are held together in places with mini skeins of sock yarn to create a cowl with a beautiful halo and pops of gorgeous color. Perfect for gift giving or treating
