Happy New Year and Annual SALE!
Happy New Year everyone – hope you all had a great 2013! After an amazing 2-weeks away with my family I am sloooowly getting back into things at the shop – hence the silence on the website! Three things to share with you all!
Firstly…
Annual Post-Boxing Day Sale
Sat & Sun, February 1 – 2
11am – 6pm
Watch here for FULL details of all the sale yarn!
Secondly…
Our very fun Jane-along will be coming to a close! Thanks to everyone who participated and way to go, some really beautiful things were made. We will have a Jane-along show off party at the regular stitch n bitch on Wed. January 29th and we can share our FO’s and also take some photo’s
Finally…..
Here is a sweet little project that I meant to share weeks ago. My little nephew Stanley is turning 1 year old soon, to celebrate him I made this GREAT little sweater! The base pattern is called Greyson – what a fantastic, easy and modifiable top-down raglan pattern. The designer writes it for a DK, Worsted or Chunky weight yarn, and in a full range of sizes. I decided to add the adorable whale details using this chart.
I knit the sweater using the Viking Sportsgarn – a great 100% wool in a wide range of colours (this yarn will be on sale at our post-boxing day sale!!)
I also used THIS amazing tutorial on how to do colourwork for a pattern like this – It actually kind of rocked my world, and I’m excited about doing suspended colourwork in a project in the round! I hope Stanley likes the sweater!
