I used to have a drapey crochet shawl back in college that I somehow lost track of. Since then, I have been dreaming about getting my hands on a similar one. Susan Sheby, our go-to pattern designer, has done just that and come up with this gorgeous pattern. This is the ideal coverup for a cool spring or summer evening. The glint of sparkle also adds a little bit of fancy shmancy and the picot edging is beautiful. The pattern calls for 2 skeins of our Maharani Silk yarn. It’s a simple crochet pattern that will just take a little bit of time to get the hang of before you’re a pro. The pattern, which I named after my favorite Allman Brothers song, is now available on Ravelry for $3 here. I had so much fun taking pics of my sister wearing this last weekend. Boston is absolutely beautiful right now!

Once again, designer Cheryl Kubat has come up with gorgeous new patterns to inspire us! Today, she released 2 patterns in her Etsy shop, Tangled Handknits that both use our Daisy Chain yarn. The first, called the Mermaid Tide Wrap,  is a lacey but chunky wrap that knits up on size 17 needles. I love the stitch and just how long it is, lots of different ways to wrap and wear it! The second pattern is called the Simply Slouchy Hat. In Cheryl's words, this hat has just the right amount of slouch, something I know is none too easy to come by in the hat world.  I cannot wait to cast on for these 2 new projects!  Photos by Meg Manion Photography.

Finally, some patterns in our newest Daisy Chain yarn! This scrumptious handspun yarn is a combination of many wool colors hand carded together and spun with mini daisies, tea-dyed lace and strips of Indian block printed fabrics. Each colorway is different from the others with it's own matching fabric & color accents. The finished yarn looks like a long daisy garland you may be inspired to crochet into a crown or knit up into a cozy oversized sweater. The 2 patterns we are releasing today are simple and quick knits. They are the Daisy Chain Earflap Hat by Danielle Shields and and a Bandana Cowl pattern by Susan Sheby. Both of these patterns are FREE and use 2 skeins of Daisy Chain each. Added bonus- they will only take you a few nights or max 1 week to knit up! The earflap hat is available here and the bandana cowl is available here. Both of these are sure to keep you warm & cozy until this winter weather lets up.
