The time has come to finally embrace spring knitting! Here in Boston, we'll have a high of 57 degrees today. After such a brutal winter, I could not be more excited. What better way to get inspired for spring knitting than to feature the beautiful Maharani Silk Wrap pattern by Noble Knits. This wrap uses only 1 skein of our sparkly and bright Maharani silk yarn- miraculously! The pattern calls for size 17 needles, so the finished texture is super open and drapey. I love the way it almost looks like a fishing net. Most excitingly this pattern is free when you purchase Maharani Silk on their site. Find it right here. Ours is knit up in colorway Firework.

Long time Knit Collage contributor, Cheryl Kubat, has come up with another gorgeous pattern that uses our yarn. In her latest pattern called Ellen's Red Collar, she combines our Pixie Dust and Sister yarns to create a stunning design. She uses our Pixie Dust yarn in ways I would never dream up. I love the texture the thick cocoon-y parts of the yarn create when knit in this way. I think this collar would look so cute over a winter coat too. Her pattern is now available for $7 on Etsy here. The colors used here are Antique Garnet Pixie Dust and Ruby Heather Sister. All photos are by Meg Manion Photography.

While trolling pinterest a few months ago, I stumbled upon the Drop Stitch Scarf pattern by Laura Bryant and instantly fell in love. I'm a sucker for any open gauzy stitch but this one in particular is especially gorgeous. I love the way the knit fabric looks like a woven patchwork design. We decided knit one up in our Maharani Silk which worked perfectly for this pattern. It may not be spring yet but it's right around the corner. I'll be ready with this beauty! Take a look at our finished project below and find out all the details on our Ravelry project page here. Next up, I'd like to try this in some of our chunkier yarn and see how that looks!
