February’s Yarn Selection
Brooklyn Tweed specializes in gorgeous designs expressed through their American-made wools. It was founded by knitwear designer and photographer Jared Flood in 2010, and is now based in Portland Oregon.
Quarry is a lofty, chunky-weight yarn that is cleverly spun in a manner that appears to be unspun. The colors are heathered but almost evoke a tweedy-look. Our selections, in honor of Valentines Day, are Garnet and Hematite.
February’s Patterns: Love Triangle Shawlettes
This month’s Love Triangle shawlettes are both great introductions to stitching triangles. The knit version is worked from the top-center out in a welt pattern, then a wide, mock cable column border.
The crochet version is more abstract-looking than it’s knit sister. Its uber-open construction is worked from the bottom-up with a series of chains and DC clusters

Removable stitch markers are a must-have tool for knitters and crocheters alike. The Addi heart versions will act as little reminders, that you and your hand-making are loved.

I have the February box and started crocheting the love triangle shawlette. Seems I’m missing something in the directions. It doesn’t state how to increase on both sides. It seems it’s only on one side. I increased the 21 stitches in row five but it doesn’t increase on the opposite side.
Can you help me with what I’m missing?
Thanks
Sandy G
The increase for one side happens on a RS row, and for the other on a WS row. HTH!
What beautiful yarn!
Can’t use the yarn as it has cuts in it and I am sure I did it when opening And I need a hank to finish item
I will gladly pay for it
