Interweave Press KNITS



Interweave Press has done a makeover on Knits Magazine. In the new version, the pictures are in the front, and patterns are in the back. Have you seen it?
Do you like it better the old way? Or do you prefer the new layout?

Finished Red Light Special

I was lucky enough to be in the store today doing the new windows when Marezol came in to show off her finished Red Light Special hat. It turned out lovely & will be a great present for her brother.

A finished hat


Here is the top of my finished "Red Light Special" hat.
What a great pattern.
Come by and see it in person.
We all had a really good time with the class. We'll have to run it again. Start dreaming of colors!

Fair Isle Class

We have been working on our Fair Isle Hats











These are all inspired by Brooklyn Tweed.








He wrote the pattern for the Red Light Special Hat.








We worked on stranding, and even two handed two color knitting.










It is safe to say that we all pushed the boundries on this assignment.















Every hat is amazing and unique. The color choices were a beautiful reflection of the proud owners.











And with a gauge of 24/4, this is some SERIOUS knitting!
