Streets of LA

Hello sweet bag! We don't have nearly enough crochet samples in the shop, so I was happy to see this beauty.

The Streets of LA bag uses three colors of The Fibre Co. Cumbria and some basic sewing skills to create this lovely structured purse. I love the graphic pop of the sample, and I think it would be really pretty in some more muted shades, too. Maybe a range of neutrals or three shades of the same color? There are so many options!

If you want to give crochet a go but are feeling a little uneasy, keep your eyes on the blog for our next round of crochet workshops. I'll let you know as soon as the next class is available for sign ups!

Interpretations

The newest book from Joji and Veera is in the shop! Interpretations No. 6 is full of gorgeous designs. Stop in the shop to take a peek at all of the beautiful things. I don't think this book will last long!

Loving that boxy pullover, Understated; the garter stitch and lace wrap, Frozen Fields; and this cozy cardigan, Saltwater. Anything catching your eye?

Hello pretty Craggy Tweed! Thanks for sticking around after the Yarn Crawl.

Bouquet Sweater

Have you all seen the Bouquet Sweater from Junko Okamoto? It uses some really unusual colorwork to create a brocade-like fabric. I would not have thought that a marled yarn and this kind of colorwork would play nicely together, but look at this gorgeous detail!

I think the newest Retrosaria Brusca would be perfect for this, and I even chose a few color combos for you. I think any of these rust to orange ones would be amazing.

And these three are pretty great, too. That pink is stunning in real life...rich and tweedy and textured. You should pop in to see it.

This sweater seems to be all over Ravelry. Are you thinking about a Bouquet, too? I would definitely take a look at Ravelry for some inspiration. The sweater looks so different depending on the yarns and colors you choose. What a fun project!

Crazy Colors from Knitted Wit

The newest batch of Sock (formerly Victory Sock) from Knitted Wit is pretty fun! I love working with this yarn. The knitted fabric is beefy and durable, and the colors are always vibrant.

I have not been able to find any samples of how this all knits up. If you have made something with these new colorways, let us know what happens!

Eye Candy

Cute and super soft tees in the shop from our local friends at Nerd Bird Makery!

Squish Worsted

Would you please all take a moment to admire the crazy cool colors of the Farmer's Daughter Squish Worsted?

These skeins are 281 yards of some of the wackiest colors I have seen on yarn in awhile. And all super soft and machine washable, too.

I am now 100% sure I need a new hat or a wrap or something that will give me an excuse to take one of these home with me...especially that black and white one.
