YarnYAY! February: What’s Inside

  • Chic Sheep | Marly Bird for Red Heart

Chic sheep is super-soft, washable, 100% merino wool, in fun and happy colors designed by Marly Bird! We chose Lipstick Red, a vibrant shade perfect for Valentine’s month!

Chic Sheep is a Red Heart brand, departing from the usual acrylic, showcasing the beauty of wool. Red Heart, for which Marly is the spokesperson, was recently acquired by yarn manufacturing giant, Spinrite, for which Vickie was the spokesperson for 6 years. Vickie & Marly have been colleagues and friends for years and always look for ways to support one another. See the rest of the Chic Sheep line at: yarnspirations.com and marlybird.com.

  • Convertible Mitts patterns | designs by Marly Bird & Vickie Howell

This month we’re cuddling up and keeping cozy, whilst keeping our options open with convertible mittens! The knit version, designed by Marly, employs ribbing and horseshoe cables for a beautiful, classic pair. The crochet set, by Vickie, are made in a warm, textural seed stitch.

    I am having trouble knitting convertible mittens. I am at the thumb gusset. Do you do the thumb the first time you reach rnd 10 or after repeat? Then do you knit gusset in the round and then when you put it on waste yarn; go back to the mitten or do you do it when you get to the repeat of 5-10. Where do you start when the thumb gusset says to do pattern for 11 rnds ending on rnd 10? I’m confused. Is there a tutorial?
