Liberty Wool Trunk Show with Elizabeth

Neil — Sat, 21 May 2011 19:31:50 +0000

Make sure you pop in to see the Trunk Show we have from Classic Elite featuring their fabulous Liberty Wool. Many of you made the Tam and the Ruffle Scarf, but come and see the gorgeous Elizabeth jacket … it is a beautiful shape and the patterning produced by the yarn is great.

The advantage of the Elizabeth construction is that you get flattering up/down stripes instead of those mean sideways ones! Definitely going to the top of my to do list as this will make a wonderful chilly day jacket and can be made shorter or longer to suit.

We’ve got the Liberty Wool pattern book and a great selection of the Liberty Wool Print variegated yarns. If you want to get an online sneak preview of the trunk show, check out Kate’s blog post at aubiquitousmind.

Knitalong – Moxie

Moxie

We are starting the “Moxie” on April, 8, 2010. We are very excited to get this cute cardi underway. Many of us have just finished an Eyelet Cardigan that was in a very fine gauge. Our fingers are itching to knit something that may go quicker. The Moxi is topdown, seamless, 3/4 sleeves, in a worsted weight yarn with a one button closure. Many of us are using the Berroco Blackstone Tweed yarn. The pattern was written for this yarn, but some people are venturing away from this yarn. It is always exciting to watch the sweaters unfold.

Nuss Knitalong – Lots of Progress

The Nuss from Berroco – a basic cardigan with a gently flared shape. It has an easily memorized lace pattern that decorates the fluted bottom. Finished with crochet and a cluster of buttons.

The Knitalong (KAL) participants are making great progress. One of these folks has completed the knitting and is ready to put together the different pieces. Can you guess who?

There was much discussion as to whether to block and sew, or to sew and block. The decision was to sew and block using a “Wooly Board” – available in the store.

Come and see our model it’s made in Blackstone Tweed Plum Island – a yarn for the discerning knitter! This super soft yarn has all the rustic appeal of a classic tweed yarn but with a high dose of mohair and angora. With wear these garments will develop a soft and fuzzy halo. A joy to wear and a pleasure to knit.

What is a Knitalong.
