All blocked and ready to wear! Which leads to the next question: how do you wear your shawls?
Over the shoulders? Draped, but with one long end casually wrapped around? With a shawl pin to hold it in place?
I favor the full wrap with all 3 points in front (like in the last slide.)
Pattern: Skylines Shawl by .knit.u.knot
Yarn: Woolstok Worsted from

Finished crocheting our latest sample shawl, so now it’s blocking time!
This piece doesn’t need to be opened up (like knit lace does,) but we want to be sure it has straight lines and even sides. Plus almost every project benefits from a bath— gives it a chance to relax and get clean 😉
Pattern: Skylines Shawl by .knit.u.knot
Yarn: Woolstok Worsted from Blue Sky Fibers.

If you’ve taken our Absolute Beginner’s Workshop, our Next Step Knitting Workshop is the ‘next step’ for you! Register NOW to join us Saturday, November 23, 2024 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM.

Learn to knit in the round and how to shape with decreases! A great refresher for folks who know how to knit and purl and want to build their skills. We'll use the 'Towards North' hat pattern by Asita Krebs and one skein of Wardrobe from Kettle Dyed Yarn. This Workshop is FREE with your purchase of one skein of Wardrobe.

Happy 😀
I’m working on the sample shawl for our next crochet class: a cozy shawl in worsted weight. 🧶

And yes, I am using a mug as a yarn bowl 😆 50 gram skeins fit pretty well!

It’s amazing the different effects you can get from combining simple stitches. This shawl is almost entirely single crochet, but the slight variations on the stitch are really effective!
The cable sections are especially interesting—very much a “trust your pattern” moment. As the yarn is winding through a bunch of loops it’s hard to believe it’ll turn out well, but it totally does! 🤯
(Progress pics included so you can share the experience 😉)
Pattern: Biscolata by Elena Fedotova
Yarn: Berroco Lanas Light (colors Teal and Lagoon)

Hat weather is here!! 🥳🎩🤠
Hats are great—small and fast and effective at keeping you warm, plus a great option for a single skein of yarn.
Do you have a favorite hat? Do you maybe need to make yourself (or someone you love) a new hat before it gets properly cold out? We can help!

A wonderful article about knitting in Iceland shared by our favorite alpaca company!

Looking for a New Way to See Iceland? Bring Your Knitting Needles. (Gift Article) In a country with more sheep than people, a D.I.Y. wool journey — from sheep farms to yarn shops — makes perfect sense. Our writer brushes up on her knitting on a driving trip from Reykjavik.

I’ve cast on the Musselburgh hat by Ysolda Teague for some simple knitting in the round! I chose one ball of Lanas Light in Cayenne for mine, and I’m using 2.5mm needles! What’s on your needles and hooks?

Fondly remembering my first Clapotis which I made in 2008! It’s gorgeous in Zauberball Crazy, isn’t it?

🇩🇪 Vor 20 Jahren erschien im Onlinemagazin Knitty das Tuch "Clapotis" von Kate Gilbert. Ein einfaches, aber effektives Schal-/Tuchmuster mit schrägen Fallmaschenstreifen. Zum Jubiläum legte Knitty die Anleitung nochmals in ihrer aktuellen Herbstausgabe neu auf.
Ann strickte ihr Tuch mit dem Zauberball® Crazy "Frische Fische" vor mittlerweile auch über 10 Jahren. Das Tuch ist aber noch immer toll!
Ein kleiner Tip: Anstatt unzähliger Maschenmarkierer zu nutzen, die Fallmaschen einfach glatt links stricken.
🇬🇧 20 years ago Kate Gilbert's shawl "Clapotis" appeared in the online magazine Knitty. A simple but effective shawl/scarf pattern with diagonal dropstitch stripes. To celebrate its anniversary, Knitty has reprinted the pattern in its current deep fall issue 89.
Ann knitted her shawl with Zauberball® Crazy "Tropical Fish" over 10 years ago. But it still looks great!
A little tip: instead of using lots of stitch markers, you can work the drop stitches in reverse stockinette stitch.
