New Rowan and Jaeger Pattern Books

 

We have just received a new range of Rowan and Jaeger pattern books with some lovely new designs. The Rowan "Little Treasures" book has some beautiful patterns for children and babies and some cute crochetted mobiles. "Big it up" has 15 new designs in the chunky yarns which are ideal for use with our Slubby and Flowers yarns.

Marta's Latest Free Pattern

 

Marta has just finished this lovely light wrap in our Moss (4ply loopy mohair) and sequin yarns. It is a quick knit using 20mm needles and is perfect for Spring or Autumn as a shawl or worn as a scarf in Winter.

The yarns used are 1 x 50gm ball of Moss ($12.50) and 1 ball of the black Sequins yarn ($6.00). The garment is knitted in garter stitch.

Begin by casting on 30 stitches very loosely with the Moss yarn and 20mm needles. Knit 14 rows. Continue knitting with the sequin yarn and the Moss yarns together until the sequin yarn runs out. Knit a further 14 rows in the Moss yarn. Cast off very loosely.

Addi-Express Garment Photos

 

We continue making lovely garments with our new favorite machine - the Addi-Express Machine.

Here we have Nicole modelling a linen scarf made with a mohair trim. We also love this three layered scarf in the subtle Olive, Oatmeal and Heather 2 ply linen colours with a hand-dyed boucle mohair trim.
