January is called Selfish Knitting month, because after all the holiday gift knitting (and crochet, too!) we did, it is finally time to focus on knitting something for ourselves. It isn’t really selfish to make something for yourself. It is a lovely practice to make something you like, using good wool and tools, and have the thrill of wearing it and saying, “Thank you. I made it myself.”
To spoil yourself, we bring a restock of Woolf, our most luxurious base from our Gilded Ewe collection, in colors never worn by Woolf before. You’ll love the way this yarn feels, made from 70% grey alpaca, 20% silk, and 10% Cashmere. See all the new colors on Woolf in addition to those already in the shop:
Woolf is a great way to add luxe to other bases. See the beautiful pair of socks, our Carolyn made using our sock base Twain held with Woolf to make a squishy, sturdy, soft pair of DK socks.
inTandem zine Issue 2 is now in the shop. We love the modern comfy cozy designs in this book by Pattern Design Circle. Six great patterns with beautiful textural interest are featured in the book that also comes with digital download codes for Ravelry/Payhip. It’s a great value!
Don’t forget to get in on the Pantone 2024 Color of the Year preorder! Based on last year’s Viva Magenta, we think Carolyn’s interpretation of the 2024 color will be a peach!
After seeing the beautiful prize package for our 2023 Yarn Challenge, you’ll want to get started on the 2024 Yarn Challenge right away. Download your free 2024 challenge worksheet today.
Last but not least, we’re going live on our YouTube channel, The Traveling Two Ewe Knit, this morning at 9:30AM Eastern time. We’ll be streaming live from Orlando Distaff Day in Orlando, FL. You can learn more about Distaff Day here. Grab your coffee or tea, your yarn, and let’s have a great time together!
Fiber friends are the best friends! Thanks for being a part of our yarn community, and we’ll be back next week for more updates and adventures!
