Seeing our yarns out in the wild is the most amazing thing as a business owner. Through instagram and our hashtag #knitcollage, I've discovered beautiful knits and projects that incorporate them. One of my favorite posts is the yarn just being knit with wherever you happen to be. I get a glimpse into how and what you're knitting and I am obsessed with it.  When I started this company, I never thought in a million years that the yarns would make it to all these farfetched places and that they would inspire people to create such beautiful things. Working alone on my business, it's easy to feel like I'm slaving away without much feedback but seeing all these gorgeous projects makes me feel connected to this awesome community of makers in a way that I never have before. I usually check this tag about 100 times a day! So, please tag us on Instagram at #knitcollage so we can see where our yarn takes you. I've added a new page to our site called SHARE YOUR KNITS, this will link up to our instagram page with all #knitcollage tags. Yup, pretty excited about that!  Below I've made a few collages of instagram posts featuring our yarns, insanely inspiring.

One of my favorite patterns to knit with our yarn is the Candy Cowl by Juju Vail of Loop London. It's lightweight and makes great use of 1 skein of our yarns. Change up the mohair that's striped in and you have a more summery feeling cowl. 

Another bonus- all of our yarns will work with this pattern too. I've knit it a handful of times and recommend it to anyone that's not quite sure what to do with our yarns.  Did I mention the pattern is free?! Available here.

Before our latest tradeshow I whipped one up in our Daisy Chain yarn in color Frosty Azure. The other yarn I knit with is a Be Sweet yarn, medium brushed mohair.  Take a peak below- love the way this one turned out!

And the Loop version photographed above- so pretty right?!

Today we introduce another pretty hat into our pattern family. The Eyelet Cable Hat, designed by Cheryl Kubat, became one of my favorites the minute I laid eyes on it. I especially love the combination of the cable brim with the open eyelet hat body and the slouchy, relaxed shape. I'm still a beginner at cabling and this hat was a nice way to practice them without committing to a more daunting project. This pattern will work perfectly with either our Daisy Chain or Swirl yarns. Happy knitting! Pattern available here. Our hats photographed below are knit up in the new Swirl colors, Colbalt Heather and Icey Blue.
