Stitch Diva released a new and unique pattern for the fall yesterday – the Endless Knitted Cardi Shawl and Endless Crochet Cardi Shawl. We have both patterns in stock!

This pattern is so versatile that you might just be able to wear it almost every day to work and no one will notice that it is the same shawl…

I am in LOVE with the crochet version. check out this closeup of the back:

Here is a video of everything that it can do:

We have amazing new shawl pins in from One World Button (our awesome button supplier), and our Grafton Fibers shawl pins are set to arrive to day as well! (yes, we are getting their double points. You asked, I listened!)

Yarn ideas: any DK weight yarn will do but we have two spectacular options in the Mirasol Tupa and Malabrigo Silky Wool. Choose from over 32 colors including this one from Malabrigo (Amoroso):

I was recently turned on to Orla Kiely’s designs by a fellow knitter / fashionista – Olga. I love the colors in her designs this season and they are reminding me of the color palate for Spud and Chloe this fall. Well, and her outerwear would fit well with my mod 1970’s Vespa smallframe. But my little Vespa lives with a friend now until the shop has been up and running for a bit.
