Spring/Summer Make and Take Collection

The spring designs are about to be launched - even though they have been done for quite some time.  I decided that the spring line should revolve around fingering weight yarn.  This line will be called the Make and Take Collection.

Starting with the Spring Gauntlets in fingering weight.  Shown in Cascade Heritage solids and Crown Mountain Aphrodite hand dyed yarns.  Gauntlets are ribbed through out with 2 simple cables running up the center.  Thumb gussets make these gauntlets fit like a glove.

The Shorty Tam is also knit in fingering weight yarn - only doubled through out and using a #4 needle for a quicker knit.  Shown in Cascade Heritage Paints and Crown Mountain Aris sock yarn.  The shorty tam takes all 400 yds and is intended to be worn far back on the head - ideal for spring/summer weather and for those with short hair. 

Lastly, the Holey Twists on Socks.  Shown in Crystal Palace Mini Mochi and Crown Mountain Sock Hop yarn.  These springy socks are very light weight and airy.  Super simple pattern to follow.  You'll love the Mini Mochi - however, it's not the best yarn for beginners or those who rip out their work alot.  The little fuzzy mohair fibers like to knot up.  The good news is that the socks will wear well!


All patterns should be available within the next few weeks as I get them out to my e-stores and local yarn shops.
