Putting Glitz in Your Knitting Project

Art Yarns Mohair Splash Yarn
with beads and sequins

Just in! This new arrival from Art Yarns takes knitting to another level! Art Yarns, a leader in luxury natural fibers, blew us away at TNNA with this gorgeous yarn, Mohair Splash. Just like all Art Yarns fibers, Mohair Splash is hand dyed. It's a combination of mohair and silk. The silk strand has been carefully beaded and sequined intermittently. Then wrapped with a mohair strand. When you knit the beads and sequins show up in little clusters, almost like flowers. It's a unique look we haven't found anywhere else. Designer Iris Schreier, created 4 Scarf and Shawl Patterns that are only 1 or 2 ball projects, ideal for knitting with Mohair Splash.

Knit Cowl Pattern | The 3-Hour, 1-Ball Cowl!

Fun! I made this super quick knit project while riding in the car last weekend. The basket weave pattern kept it interesting, and before I knew it, it was time to bind off. I used just one ball of Ironstone's bulky weight Harmony yarn - it's warm, wooly, and not at all scratchy.

The 3-Hour, 1-Ball Cowl Free Pattern

You will need:

• 1 ball Ironstone Harmony yarn
• Size US 11 circular 16" needles
• Stitch marker

Cast on 104 stitches. This project is worked in rounds, begin by joining round and be careful not to twist stitches.

Rounds 1-4:  *Knit 4, Purl 4.*  Repeat from * to * around.

Rounds 5-8:  *Purl 4, Knit 4.*  Repeat from * to * around.

New Arrivals from ShibuiKnits!

On a recent post, I recapped the TNNA Show and some of the new yarns and patterns that will be arriving. One photo in particular, received more comments and inquiries than any other. It was this image, shown above. Lindsay from ShibuiKnits is modeling the new Shibui Draper Shawl.
This pattern and yarn both arrived yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! The pattern allows you to knit the shawl in two sizes. Draper features hand painted Shibui Staccato Print yarn, shown in color Jackie. For the small you'll need just 2 balls and for the large you'll need 4. Enjoy!
