A little more eye candy for knitters!
Here is Obi, a bulky wool/silk blend from Noro that makes a chunky and of course colorful cowl or scarf in a flash. Gorgeous colors, as always with Noro:
Janet made this very pretty and quick infinity scarf with two balls, from the new Noro Magazine:
Inca Tweed, a soft and chunky alpaca/wool blend from Berroco, also arrived, in a lovely array of wearable shades:
I bought a bunch, as you can see, so Berroco sent us a model sweater, which was very nice of them indeed. It’s pretty, but…
I really had to knit with the yarn, couldn’t resist, so I made this very cozy, soft, yummy, fast hat from the new magazine “Make It! Knits:”
Delicious yarn, cute design! When the magazine is gone, this is my hat!
The Inca Tweed booklet also features a beautiful chunky cowl that is crocheted (!!) I want it so much I may just pick up my hook and give it a go:
Another new yarn from Berroco, Andean Mist is a brushed alpaca/silk blend in a DK weight that knits up light as a cloud. It’s a soft, luminous yarn, made of drifting dreams, so I bought dreamy colors for your romantic moments.
Aren’t they so pretty? I made this lace-edged capelet/cowl from their pattern booklet from just 3 balls:
Now all I need is the romance!
Berroco’s Kodiak is another soft alpaca blend in a bulky weight that almost floats, it’s so light. I intend to have a sweater from it this year since I didn’t get to it in time last year. By the time I decided what to knit there was none left!
I’m glad I waited though, because Berroco came out with this design this year…
…and this is the one for me! Can’t wait to get started, but must finish one or two small things first. One is in Shibui’s newest yarn Maai – (sneak peek:)
and one is in the newest Dream Club yarn, which I can’t even give you a peek at. Loving them both!
Lots more to show, hope I’ll get to another post in a couple days. Meanwhile, we’ll be looking for you:
