Made with 3 balls of ROCK in color: Jeremy and 1 ball in “Trent”
In Austin, there are maybe 2 weeks total out of the year that a heavy-weight scarf is wearable. I enjoy the neck decor though (and you know, also the knitting of it) so, I whipped up the Lemon Drop: a light, lacy scarf made with VHC Rock yarn.
A larger needle and dropped stitch pattern makes for a quicker knit, coupled with a tighter seed stitch stripe for added cinching and waviness. Try it, you’ll like it! I mean, I’m not comparing my Lemon Drop to the candy or the martini but if the best things in life are free, then this pattern definitely qualifies!
Get it as our gift to you with purchase of Rock yarn! Can’t find the VHC Collection of yarn at your local yarn store? No problem! Click this button to snag supplies for this scarf, now.
I am devastated by the loss of @hillcountryweavers founder, Susanne Middlebrooks.
I wrote a longer tribute to her on my blog and Facebook (links in bio). In short, though, she had been sick for a long time but had been a master at not letting the illness get in the way of her living. So, it was often unimaginable that she wouldn't be with us for longer. Last June during an industry convention in Chicago when Susanne came over to the bar booth I was sitting at and plopped herself next to me to chat, I had no idea that it would be the last time I'd get to see her. I'm so thankful though, that when we parted ways to go back to our respective meetings, it was with a hug. Rest in purls, my friend....
When I came across this Knitting Needle Patent greeting card by @patentpress , I couldn’t resist selecting it as one of the items for the YarnYAY! September box! (Link in @vickiehowell bio or got to YarnYAY.com)
What looks like part circular knitting needle, part Tunisian crochet hook is illustrated as the patent drawing for flexible knitting needles. This greeting card memorializes the creation of tools that we stitchers can now, not do without!...
The sample yarn for both palettes of this year’s 12 Days of YAY! Advent Box have arrived. I cannot wait for stitchers to open up a new color everyday!
I don’t want to spoil the shade surprises, but I can share just how much yarn we’re sending you this year — FIFTEEN mini hanks of beautifully hand dyed yarn, by two rad boss-lady dyers.
Historically, we have sold out of these so I’d you’re prone to FOMO, be sure to pre-order tour 12 Days of YAY!
Nineteen years into this knitting career, it’s crazy-pants that I’ve never had Learn to Knit or Learn to Crochet kits before. So, I finally made it happen.
