New shades of Beiroa from Retrosaria. And these new labels are perfect.

Nebula

And for something completely opposite of the Nightshade from the last post...here's Berroco Nebula! It appears that this sample piece shows a color repeat from several (all?) colorways, but it's hard to tell.

This is a single ply superwash merino in a light sport to fingering weight. Lots of folks have used it to make a Zick Zack scarf, a freebie on Ravelry.

You'll just need 2 skeins in different shades to get a really cool effect. Looks like the Hitchhiker and Daybreak shawls are popular choices, too. It would be cool to just knit a tube scarf using a few skeins and a 16" circular. You'd end up with a really cool scarf without having to think about it much at all.

Emily's Mini Fade would be fun, too! If you need some color after all of those grey months, maybe Nebula is what you're looking for.

Nightshades Trunk Show

We have some fabulous Nightshades pieces in the shop from Harrisville Designs. These knitted items have such a nice hand, and the yarn has a lovely crunch to it. 

The cables and ribbing and texture really pop with the Nightshades, and the designs are so cool.

I love how different these shades all look even though they all have the same black base. Each sone has a different color added in, and it's great to see how them all worked up.

This yarn is nearly impossible to photograph, though, so it's best in person. You should come on down to the shop and see for yourself. You are also welcome to try on the pieces. If you figure out the best way to wear this cowl/shawl/wrap, please let me know!

Lang Lace...mohair and silk in sweet spring shades.

Vovó

The newest from Retrosaria is on the shelves! Vovó is a stunning sport weight wool in some lovely shades. How do they make it shiny? I don't know but I love it!

My favorites are this beautiful red and this green.

What would you call this one? Barn red? Crimson? Ruby? 

How about the green? Moss? Forest? Army? I suppose the names don't matter.

This hard-wearing yarn would be fabulous for mittens or gloves. How about the Fiddlehead Mittens? This pattern has been around since 2008 and has over 3,500 projects on Ravelry. Seems legit.

There are so many gorgeous colorwork sweaters out there in sport weight. The world is your oyster on that front. How about The twigs? I had forgotten that this one was a sport weight. Now I can only imagine it in Vovó.

Knitscene

The Summer 2019 Knitscene is fun! Can I show you some of the things that caught my eye?

These hat and socks look like great basics on their own, but the visible mending look adds a little something extra to this set.

My 90's teenage self is jonesing for this lace tube/tank top.

Summer is a great time to knit wraps and shawls...play with some color and texture and interesting stitches on a not-sweater-sized project.

 

This cute biased top is so springy and cute, too!

And a cotton tote bag is never a bad idea for summer.

We love to knit all summer long! What do you all like to knit in the warmer months?
