FO :: Lowbrow Cowl

***Originally published November 27, 2015***This is one of my favorite new patterns that we’ve recently added to our pattern collection at Yarnia. This version here is a full 400 yards long, which will wrap around the neck quite a few times, but if you prefer a shorter version, you may simply omit some pattern repeats and knit up a shorter version instead.  You could easily decrease the yardage to 250, and still end up with a wonderfully cozy, ample-size cowl. The Lowbrow Cowl, worked up here in a deliciously soft and squishy blend of alpaca, merino, and regular wool. &n...


FO :: Stripe Study Shawl

***Originally published on April 24, 2015***Remember this one?  She was the star of our Fall Knit-Along, and has been proudly displayed in our front window, inspiring dozens of asymmetrical shawls and scarves ever since.In my version, I mimicked the colors shown in the printed pattern, using a solid fingering weight wool/merino blend, in contrasting red and grey. This wrap is all garter stitch, but the part that keeps it interesting is the short rows, which are what give it this asymmetrical look, with the stripes on one side gathering more closely together than on the other....


FO :: Cap Sleeve Lattice Top

***Originally published on July 17th, 2015***I’m loving this (free!) pattern from Purl Soho, the Cap Sleeve Lattice Top.  You see it worked up here in merino wool, but try it in cotton for a warm weather alternative!  The contrast of both the colors, and the stitch pattern right around the bust line makes for a fun project that will keep your attention the whole way through. Here, you can see how the simple K2tog / YO stitch pattern can yield a beautifully delicate lace fabric, if it’s done in the right color. Cap Sleeve Lattice TopCost of Materials:...


Finished Object | Vitamin D Cardi

***Originally published on July 31, 2015***This is a pattern that had been in my queue for a looooong time before I finally cast on for it last year.  In fact, I wound up the yarn for this one back in 2013, and had been sitting on a fat cone of it for years until the time was finally right.And, while many parts of the project are relatively mindless — easy stockinette knitting at a fairly small gauge — there are other parts that do require some serious concentration.  The radial yarn-overs, which give this pattern its distinctive eyelet holes, force you to kee...


FO :: Slip Stitch Dish Towel

***Originally published in October 17, 2014***I’m loving this slip stitch dish towel that one of our sample knitters, Linette, knitted up! To re-create the yarn we’ve used here, simply visit our Custom Yarn Creator, and build a yarn in your palette that includes one strand of bamboo, and two strands of thin cotton (the ones that say 6720 YPP when you hover over them).  You’ll want to do this twice, with two contrasting colors, and the more similar the shades that you choose for the cotton and bamboo, the more your yarns will look like two contrasting, solid colors, as they ...


Finished Project: Otherside Tank

This Otherside Tank has totally won me over to the virtues of linen.  Using just two strands together of our fingering weight linen, in two different contrasting colors, this yarn was lightweight enough to look open and airy when knit on Size 6 needles, but still has a nice weight and drape to it for a cute summer layering top. Here we are just past the neck opening, where you simply bind off some of the middle stitches on one row, and then cast the same number back on in the very next row, and then mirror the stripe sequence back down to the bottom. In the home s...
