Busy knitters

Well, the Thursday group sure had a fun afternoon. Jan came in with my Regal order - Cribbage board shaped like a red canoe, Father's Day gift...

I missed getting a picture of Karen's Ilga Leja vest called Among the Birches. Again using Noro silk garden, this sweater will be delightful. Check out Ilga's site;

I also missed Jan's grandson's Bibbed Trousers. They are so cute in royal blue. I will have a pic for next week.

Heather designed a beautiful Noro Cowl Entrelac - pattern coming - It is so wonderful. I just love the way the Noro colours flow together.

Blocking 220 Superwash

We carry over 50 colours of 220 SW. It's fabulous for children's clothing, baby blankets and any garment you want to have machine washable!!    Cascade Yarns presents: Carly's Helpful Yarn Tips! How to block 220 Superwash®   220 Superwash® is designed to be used for no-fuss garments that are washed in the washing machine and dried in the dryer .  The fibers of our 220 Superwash® have been descaled, which prevents them from gripping each other, especially when wet.  You may find that when you pull your piece out of the washer, it looks like it grew.  No worries, put it in the dryer and it will spring back into shape!  Suppose your piece has texture elements like lace or ribbing that need to be opened up after washing and drying.  You can block 220 Superwash® to accomplish this.  There are three common ways that most people block knitwear:  steaming, soak and pin, and pin and spritz.  Because 220 Superwash® tends to grow when saturated with water and needs t

Spring Sweater Knitting

Who's tired of the cold winter winds and ready to knit a great Spring sweater?  Well, I think many of us are ready for those tulips and crocuses to show up.  Have you heard about Joji's Boxy sweater line up? These easy fit fun toknit sweaters have been designed in several styles and yarn weights.  Have a  look...  The Boxy was Joji's first design like this. It has a unique construction with interesting details and lots of easy knitting.  Boxy  is a very simple modern sweater, with a very wide body and skinny sleeves. Worked with a lightweight yarn it is very flattering, drapey and stylish!  A little short row section in the shoulders adds an interesting texture to the sleeves.  Directions are given to make a seamless version (worked in the round) or a seamed version (worked back and forth) of the body. The sleeves and the neckband are worked seamlessly in the round in both versions. As per Joji's description.  Then comes the worsted weight knit vers
