Check out this CNN article featuring the guerrilla knitting movement, a reaction to street art machismo. The article features photos of “knitted graffiti” on buildings, trees, vehicles and more.

Miss Babs Yowza

Eve came in last night and picked up two more hanks of Miss Babs yowza to make a baby blanket and the color combination was just stunning! It is unexpected but incredibly complimentary. The colors are Coventry Blue, French Marigold, Sand and Bruin. A very lucky mom is going to be getting this awesome blanket…

Fall is here! This morning was one of the first mornings that I really noticed the trees turning and the smell of Fall in the air. I love Fall colors. They are rich and deep. So many of our yarn colors are inspired by the natural tones of the Fall season. A few Fall photos to inspire you this morning:

Malabrigo Chunky

We whipped up a new project this week for quick yet impressive holiday knitting. This scarf is worked in Malabrigo Chunky (just two hanks) and 2 yards of Silk ribbon. It can be done in around an hour or two and costs just $30 in materials. The pattern is “Beth” and you can get it for free in the shop with purchase of yarn. The ribbon can be woven straight through or in a zig zag as shown here.

Beth has been knitting another Malabrigo Chunky wrap / scarf over the weekend, that would also make an excellent gift and is a very fast project. It is High Line Shawl from Kirsten Kapur and can be done in a heavy worsted or chunky weight yarn.

Lesley sent me this amazing new makeup kit from Cargo, The Runway Palatte. It is available exclusively from Sephora and features eyeshadow in the shape of buttons and blush in the shape of cable knitting. It is adorable!
