I've been spotting yoga sock shapes everywhere and dreaming of our own Knit Collage version. I adore their cute shape with cut outs for your toes and heel. Pattern designer Cheryl Kubat has helped us come up with our own version. She put a Knit Collage twist on them with a hint of sparkle in our Maharani Silk yarn and swoon-worthy tassels. These socks are quick to knit up and will fit most because of the toe and heel openings. Shown here in colorway Deep Sea Wave. The pattern is now available as a PDF to purchase here.

New Crochet Collars by Lulu Loves
You may remember from last year, that I became obsessed with this beautiful crochet collar pattern by Emma of the popular crochet blog, Lulu Loves. I'd always been a little on the fence about crochet but after making one of these, I was in love and there was no turning back. I wear mine frequently, but more as a necklace than a collar with the button in back. In addition to the first collar she whipped up, she came up with 3 more that work beautifully in our Maharani Silk yarn. I love how intricate the stitches are on these and the contrast colors. The patterns are all available through Knit Crate as a kit with our yarn.

And the original collar I made & fell in love with! This is a free pattern, more info here!
I must have made at least 6 of these, so quick and pretty!
The Drop Stitch Scarf
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!
