January Knit & Nosh
With New Year's Day festivities happening at the beginning of the week we have decided to hold the first Knit & Nosh of 2024 on January 10th. A second reminder will come out after New Years.
Snow Mittens
by: Trine Bertelson
Snow mittens are soft and warm mittens in a classic and simple design. In sizes for the whole family (4 children’s sizes, women & men’s) Mittens are worked in the round on circular needles or dpns, and have a classic 2, 2 rib. The hand is worked in stockinette stitch, and increases for a thumb gusset are made, to give the mitten a good fit.
We knitted our sample in Estelle Drift - so cozy!
5 Personal Knitting Ideas!
5 Personal Knitting Ideas ! The frantic activity of Christmas is over and it's time to settle in with a new project just for you. Here is some inspiration.
Smokeshow vest by: Thea Colman
The overall cable pattern is subtle, with a bit of hidden texture, and the button bands are worked in twisted rib for added visual interest. The ribbed hem plays right into the cable pattern, and the overall effect is simple and classic.
Smokeshow is the kind of knit that may get noticed in any outfit you create, but it doesn’t look for the attention. :wink:
We are suggesting: Lang Yak for this project
Pattern is available for purchase on Ravelry $8.00 USD

Autumn Alpine by: Caitlin Hunter
Autumn Alpine is a midweight sweater knit from the top down featuring an interesting ribbing detail at the neckline, hem and sleeve cuffs and a Scandinavian-inspired floral colorwork yoke. Short rows are worked at the back neck for an improved fit. Optional short rows are also worked at the back hem to lower the back of the sweater a bit. Instructions are given for lengthening the body and sleeves as desired.
We are suggesting: Juniper Moon's Patagonia
