Mid Month Catch Up

A few new projects off the needles...

bloom by Georgie Hallam

This was a test knit of the beautiful bloom by the ever talented Georgie. Georgies designs are always very clever in design, this one is top down, seamless and very versitile with the sizing. All things that I love in patterns.

I have used Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece which is possibly not the best match to the pattern as a strong point of the design is the 1 x 1 ribbing bodice but it fits Miss J and she just loves it.

Pucker by Norah Gaughan

I have lusted after this pattern since it was first released and was of course the first thing that I had just had to knit from the Berroco pattern booklets.

The finished top is so soft, silky and cool! Seduce is a divine yarn to work with, a spectaular blend of fibers perfect for warm weather knitting.

A third project on display in store (not off my needles this time) is Featherweight by Hannah Fettig. We have used Brown Sheep Cotton Fine and the end result is a super lightweight cardigan. Simple ribbing doesn't do any justice to the cotton so we used twisted rib (on both the knit and purl stitches) for all of the ribbing.

Come Knit With Me

KAL


Starting today Tangled Yarns will be running a monthly Knit-A-Long! (KAL)

Each month I will select a pattern to Knit or Crochet and I invite you to join me as we work our way through some spectacular patterns.

KAL's are a wonderful way to create. You have the comfort of knowing that you have company along the way, and a collection of helping hands, even if they are virtual.

To participate you simply need to purchase this months pattern from our online store or one of our Pattern&Yarn Bundles. (receive a small saving at the same time!)

During the month send in progress pictures for me to post on the Tangled Yarns Blog. Once finished, email in your finished project photo to go into the running for a KAL prize!
(prize randomly picked from all finished participants)

To start things off, this month we have the ever so sweet Spring Garden Tee from Alana Dakos of Never Not Knitting.


Pattern&Yarn Bundles are available in Jo Sharp Soho Cotton, Rowan Milk Cotton and Malabrigo Silky Merino. Pattern&Yarn Bundles are sized according to the pattern specifications so there is no need to pay for extra yarn that you don't need and you can choose from any of our instock colours. (please add a note with your preferred colour to your online order)
