Earlier in the summer, I started to notice sleeveless cowl silhouettes all over the web ~ like here and here ~ and I fell in love! I knew we needed our own version with a Knit Collage twist. With that in mind, resident designer Cheryl Kubat created the Wildflower Peasant Tunic for us.

This pattern knits up in our super soft cotton Wildflower Yarn that is printed with tiny paisley and flower designs. The design highlights these unique yarn details through knitting in an open garter stitch on largish needles, size US 15. We especially love the trapeze-y tunic silhouette with tiny slits at the side seams. We knit our sample in color Scarlet Begonia.  Pattern available here. 

I'm so happy to release a new pattern today. We are always asked, what can we knit with your yarns? Today, another answer ~ this pretty cardigan!

The Sunshine Daydream Cardi knits up in our Wildflower cotton yarn in an open, relaxed stitch, making it perfect for early fall days. The fabric created has ample elasticity and drape, making this design suitable for all types of bodies.  The pattern is knit flat and seamed along the sides and arms to produce an oversized, boxy shape we can't get enough of. 

We also love the way this design highlights this beautiful yarn. This cardi is knit loosely on size 19 needles which allows you to see the paisley and flower prints clearly on the yarn in your finished garment. Your cardi will truly be a unique creation garnering many a compliment! We knit ours in color Gardenia.

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.
