As I write this I am spending my last day in Hong Kong. It has been wonderful to be back- I lived here for 5 years! I've been catching up with dear old friends, going on my favorite runs, eating delish Chinese food and sourcing new trims. It's been a nice few days break from India, I'll be back there tomorrow. More importantly, we are releasing one new pattern today! Our new yarn Cast Away arrived last week and is now shipping out to stores. It is a pretty hand carded yarn that comes in mainly neutrals with pops of brights spun threw out. This enterlac hat is a perfect way to show off 1 skein of this yarn. The enterlac stitch forms a subtly beautiful pattern. The pattern is now available here.

It's no secret that we love mixing our yarns that are chock full of trims with our simpler Sister yarn.  Sister yarn is a lightly spun thick and thin yarn that comes in giant 215 gram skeins. When Sister is striped with our embellished yarns, like Gypsy Garden or Rolling Stone, it helps stretch them out to make the most of their gorgeousness. That's what we hope we've done here with this matching hat and glove combo. You'll just need 2 skeins to make this set.

This hat and glove combo are perfect for a holiday gift for someone special. We especially love the slouched hoodie hat shape, snug fingerless gloves and mixed garter stitch stripe. The pattern is now available as a PDF download here. 

I've had the knit turban shape on the brain for a few years now and I still love it! Today, we are releasing another turban-inspired pattern designed by Tori Kendrew. This hat knits up in a rib stitch which makes it form perfectly to your head. A cable detail at the center gives it that turban look. This pattern will work will with a plethora of our yarns, including Daisy Chain, Gypsy Garden, Rolling Stone & Sister.  The pattern PDF is available here.
