My Summer of Sweaters by Ashley
I didn’t set out to go on a sweater knitting run, but I couldn’t stop once I got started! They can be called tees or sweaters…either way, I wanted short-sleeved, summery knits in my wardrobe. The cotton, linen, and wool blends in stock at Yarn Bar were the perfect inspiration. It’s amazing how many projects pop into your mind while you are tagging and displaying a new yarn! I started with Yume by Isabell Kraemer. I am always drawn to Isabell’s patterns, and this one was just simple enough for me to choose a marled effect that I absolutely...

Chilam Sweater Launch
Bonnie has another new sweater pattern! The Chilam was knit with shop favorite Cumbria Worsted and we ALL love it. We also had one sweaters' worth head out for a test knit when Bonnie sent out her request for knitters, and several people commented that they didn't respond quickly enough to get in on the test!

Love Note Inspiration
This pattern was released in May and quickly climbed up the knitter social media charts. We asked our friend Kathy to make us a shop sample and it's now gracing the prom dress by our front door. We've got oodles of options to make this one for yourself and are here to tell you all about them. But first, don't think this layer is only for when you want to be super fancy! We'd prefer that you think of it as a fairly quick top down sweater on size 10 needles that can be dressed up or down, and as...
