Emily Wood’s new cabled shawl pattern, the Disconnect Shawl, is 25% off on Ravelry and Payhip through December 12. Tilting cables twine across the surface of this shawl, framing stretches of reverse stockinette stitch that interrupt the cushy 2×2 ribbing. Perfect for fingering, sport, or DK weight yarn.
I am sure many of us are working on holiday gifts or hurrying to knit those sweaters for the family photos! But I have a little something this week that may be a fun project for yourself. Or, team up with your LYS to kit up some yarn for your favorite knitting friend to gift them a new project.
The Spiced Cider scarf is so squishy and warm… I wore it all weekend as the temps dropped to below freezing here. It was perfect for standing outside with my pup Sophie as she did her business. 😉
Spiced Cider is knit using Blue Sky Fibers Extra (you will need three hanks or 505 yards of Aran/heavy worsted-weight yarn) and a US 9/5.5 mm knitting needle. This scarf is filled with cables and they look a little complicated, however they are not (I promise)! There are tips to knit this without the cable needle, too. You can easily adjust to whatever length you wish (that will affect your total yardage, so keep that in mind). But this is a wonderful squishy scarf that is sure to please all those knitworthy people in your life!
Enjoy 15% off through November 30th — no codes needed!
Happy making, friends!
All of the colorways in Wild Violet Fibers’ Into the Woods collection are now available and the corresponding Into the Woods Beanie pattern was just released on Ravelry.
The colorways in the collection are inspired by the seasonal change of the forest’s palette, from lush greens, to vibrant reds, oranges and yellows and, finally, to misty shades of grays and browns. The collection includes both semisolid and variegated colorways: September Grass, Secluded Glade, October Leaves, Lost in the Woods, November Rain and Through the Mist.
The design of the beanie is inspired by walks through the woods and makes a great accessory for autumn and winter hikes. The pattern as written includes a bit of slouch, but can easily be customized for a snugger fit. The beanie pattern includes sizes for youth, adult small, and adult large.

One thing can be certain — with all the spectacular sock knitters we know, none of our fiber friends wear plain white socks! And neither do their family and friends. We’ve got some gorgeous sock sets to support your sock knitting. If you aren’t going to feed your stash, then let a friend or family member know, because you’d sure love to get one of these for a holiday gift.
We still have a couple of beautiful hand-painted sock blanks. Not up for socks? We’ve seen a few gorgeous Alpine Bloom (by Boyland Knitworks) sweaters/hats using a sock blank for the colorwork. Also, as tradition demands, we’ll be hosting a Christmas Cast On make-along.
We’ve brought some new items and some restocked items to our Coco Knits corner of the shop. Check out the Project Wallet, perfectly made for travel, and the Maker’s Clips are the most useful little items we’ve ever seen. These are some of the best crafting tools on the market.
We still have the Atenti Mimi preorder open! Exciting new bags from Atenti with their new Mimi fabric — a little boho, a little crafty, a little sugarplums dancing — talk about magic! The preorder will be closing soon, so you don’t want to miss out!
We’ve also restocked some of your favorite colorways, so you can be ready for all the projects you’ve been dreaming about.
Make sure to set up and complete your WISH LIST. As the holidays approach, our wish list program will help assure you get what you want. We’ve got new acrylic pins in the shop, a much better stocking stuffer than dental floss!

Greet the fall season with the Autumn Embrace Ear Warmer! 🧶🍂🍁🧣
Knit your own, infused with love and creativity! This accessory will be your perfect companion for those crisp, cool days when love is in the air. Each stitch mirrors the intricate, intertwined connection of hearts. The close-woven cables symbolize the unity of two souls, as warm and comforting as a shared mug of spiced cider on a chilly evening.
As you wear this cozy ear warmer, imagine the rustling of fallen leaves underfoot and the scent of pumpkin spice in the air — a romantic backdrop for stolen glances and sweet moments. Let it remind you of life’s simple pleasures — a shared laugh, a stolen kiss, and feeling wrapped in love’s gentle embrace.
Whether you’re strolling hand in hand through a pumpkin patch or cozying up by the fire pit, let your Autumn Embrace Ear Warmer be a reminder that love is like thread weaving through every season. Bask in the magic of fall while enjoying your beautifully textured accessory featuring intricate cables.
With this pattern, not only can you create something stunning but also practice various cable stitches using either a cable needle … or explore knitting cables without one using the included instructions — it’s all up to you!
The ear warmer is knit flat and seamed during finishing which makes it easy to customize its length to fit any recipient perfectly. Plus, if you’re short on time or have leftover yarn scraps lying around waiting to be used up for that last-minute gift idea, look no further than this project!
The pattern has:
• Fully written instructions
• The repeat is charted, so you can take your pick to work from
• A large print version for Low Vision and Screen Reader accessibility

The Factory Girl Maker’s Boxes are a great way to bring together new businesses, indie dyers, designers, and makers… expand on our community and meet new friends. Each box is curated with unique products that you will not find easily every day. Each box will be a discovery of new products, ones you may have seen but have not been able to find at a local shop, and maybe an item or two you are familiar but have learned something new about. I can’t wait to bring these to you and spend time with each Maker’s Box recipient sharing all the things and making together!
Socktails, Mocktails & Cocktails is a project I am thrilled to share with you and one that I had been thinking about for some time. After reaching out to my friend Inga at Fuzzy Peach Fibers about collaborating on this project, I was so excited when she agreed and we began working on it right away.
The project started with some inspiration photos Inga used to build the color palette. Once the yarn was dyed and shipped — well, you can imagine my exuberant delight as I tore into that box as soon as it arrived! I wasted no time getting started on designing and knitting the samples.
It was not long ago I tried my hand at knitting socks for the first time and discovered what many already knew. Hand-knit socks are satisfying to knit AND especially to wear. There is nothing like treating one of the hardest working parts of our bodies to a pair of hand knit socks.
Each design pairs up with its own mocktail and cocktail recipes. During a knit night, mix up a batch for you and your friends. Or concoct a simple syrup to gift along with its knitted namesake to a sock-worthy recipient. This summer the recipes were tested by some of my nearest and dearest friends – their feedback was so important to making these tasty for you.
The collection is available as an eBook but there is also an opportunity to preorder the book for your shelf or as a gift. The eBook and book include all patterns, recipes, tips and tricks, and more. With each book purchase, you will also receive an eBook available for immediate download. During the launch (November 2-5), as a fan of Indie Untangled, please use code: INDIESOCKTAILS for a special discount off the eBook or individual patterns both on my website and Ravelry.
This collections makes for a great gift for your friends or yourself.
Have fun with the sips as well as the patterns – these recipes are guidelines for you to find your perfect mix!
