As Seen on FB Live: August 2022 Recap!
Here we go!
Melissa
Melissa has been knitting:
V Neck Boxy by Joji Locatelli
- She's still been working on this one!! Slow and steady
- Using Traveling Yarn fingering (we hope to restock soon, in the meantime try some Northwoods Butternut Sock)
Lily by Dan Doh
- We have kits!
Caladium Scarf (for her sister)
Still working away on her pink Hartigan by Norah Gaughan made with Spud and Chloe (for a friend, a little out of her norm which is fun!)
Onward and Upward Tee by Tif Neilson (which Melissa finished this month!) with Northwoods Fibers - which excitingly came in the mail (finally!).
What Melissa has been considering casting on:
All of us have been intrigued by all things fuzzy mohair/suri lately, and Melissa has been trying to decide on a way to use this DK Brushed Suri; some ideas -
- Slugcore by James Watts
- Earth and Air by James Watts
- Promenade Blouse by Caidree (we made a few Promenade Blouse Kits)
She's also been looking at ways to use the new Pascuali Sole and Suave (a Cotton/Cashmere blend and a 100% Cotton) and has been considering making Sophie Cardigan by Jennifer Wood
Other things Melissa has been loving in the shop:
Frabjous Fibers Gradient yarns (in fingering and sport weights)
What Melissa has worn in videos:
Her Lounging Top done in West Jack Kid Copper Corgi (has lots of pretty pooling), Anker tee (fun yoke), her new FO Onward and Upward Tee, her summery purple Gemini sweater by Jane Richmond
Cadence
Early on in the month, Cadence showed off a Pop Up we hosted for 29 Bridges an indie yarn we love! They have left us by now unfortunately but here's a few patterns we showed off while they were here:
- Soldotna Crop by Caitlin Hunter (you can use a DK for this one)
- Meridian Shawl by Annie Baker
- Birds of a Feather by Andrea Mowry (use a Mohair + Fingering - we have some Emma's Mohair in stock!)
We snagged a few skeins from the Pop Up to keep and we made Touchstone Kits and Promenade Blouse Kits
Working on:
Cadence finished her Black Thorn sweater in MadTosh Twist Light!! There was much debate about whether to add a red cuff or leave the sleeve white!
Other things Cadence showed off in the shop:
Tassel Project Bags!!! We got a new batch of our custom fabrics!
Flower Pins (more on the way)
Her current project bag = Funky Project Bag
Lots of yarns & pattern ideas (pattern links are included on each yarn's page - click on the yarn to browse our ideas!) for these yarns:
Manos del Uruguay Fino Mini Skeins
Manos Fino
Frabjous Fibers Mad Hatter Gradient cakes
Pashmina from Madelinetosh
We are also having shop samples made out of some of these yarns so keep an eye out for more knitting inspiration!
What Cadence has worn in videos this month:
Painting Honeycombs Shawl by Stephen West (a sample that came as part of our pop up), Girl's Best Friend Shawl made with Fino, Meridian Shawl, Tamy Gore's Drifter Shawl
