A little something for those of you not on the way to Unwind or Fibre East this month!
I’ve released my Brownlow Wristwarmers a bit early and am offering the pattern free with purchase of the TWIST and HEATH fingering skeins needed for the pattern in the Etsy shop until the end of July.
The blends will be at both shows if anyone is hoping to pick colours in the flesh and the pattern will be free with purchase at the shows as well.
The pattern is available now on Ravelry!

Game of Thrones Season 4 has come to a close and if you are like me, the withdrawal has already started. It’s the only show on TV that I find so completely enthralling that I don’t knit while watching it. A year is just too long to wait for next season!
After my Mother of Dragons shawl pattern was released, Miss Babs and I started collaborating to create a series of Game of Thrones-inspired designs. I’ve been having a hard time containing my excitement and not letting the Direwolf out of the bag! There will be two more patterns coming out this year and the next one is being released on Monday, June 30, and will be available in my Ravelry Pattern Shop. The third in the series will be coming out later in the fall, so you will have plenty of time to get this one knitted up before the next release!
The latest design, Night’s Watch, is an effortless one-skein garter stitch triangle shawlette in Miss Babs Yummy 2-Ply in the Coffee Break colorway. I have included both charted and written instructions and the pattern is easy to memorize, which makes this a perfect knit night project. I’ve included some fun Game of Thrones graphics and a few other surprises in the pattern layout that I hope you will enjoy.
Available in my Ravelry Pattern Shop on June 30.
I feel like I’ve been waiting *forever* to announce this!
Knit Now has just released their June issue – 36 – so you can now get your sock-knitting fix with the beautiful Chalcot Sock pattern designed by Anita Grahn in my lofty TWIST – 100% superwash British Bluefaced Leicester. These beauties feature braids on both sides and my TWIST’s long staple, hardwearing fibre is perfect for spongy, long-wearing socks.
To celebrate the release, I’ve dyed up many hues in the blend, along with more of the Macho Mint colour used in the sample…all will go on sale in the shop update this Friday, June 27th at 5 p.m. GMT.
Join us then!

Introducing Endearment, a collaboration between The Uncommon Thread and Hanna Maciejewska. Kits will be going up for sale online on 23 June at 4 p.m. BST. (The pattern will be exclusive until Sept. 23, then it will be released for public sale through Ravelry.)
Endearment is a romantic, delicate and very feminine cardigan, looking equally flattering over a light summer dress or paired with your favorite jeans. Worn open or buttoned, it is visually slimming by way of combining Hanna’s signature entirely seamless construction with just the right amount of added waist shaping, eliminating bulk in unwanted areas.
The intricate cable and lace pattern over the fronts looks much more complicated than it actually is, but is easy to knit, especially since it is all charted. Longer hems and cuffs with decorative splits, a novelty for Hanna’s style, are sure to please everyone looking for “that special extra” in a new cardigan!
Kits are now in the shop for designer Sarah Hurwitz’s Creamsicle from the newly released Pompom Quarterly Summer Issue 9!
This bobbly fun cardi is designed to make the most of my WIMBLEDON Sport blend — the squishiest 100% Superwash Merino (100g = 262 m/ 287 yds). This blend is ethically sourced from the happiest, most kindly treated sheep EVER…or so they tell me… (the mill, not the sheep) ;-D
I will be rolling out the full WIMBLEDON range of colours for this season over the next month.
The Melon Balls/Sherbert kits are in shop now with more colourway listings for the yarn hitting the virtual shelves on Friday 16th May at 5 p.m. GMT!

New, exclusive Antiprism shawl kits were added to the shop this week. A perfect transitional piece, the shawl is wide enough to be worn as a wrap on warmer days, or a scarf for chilly evenings!
A collaboration with designer Renee Callahan from EastLondonKnit, the garter-stitch shawl kit comes with 4 skeins of TWIST — the softest 100% Superwash British Bluefaced Leicester fingering/sock — in a range of colours (as shown) and a Ravelry pattern download code.
Click through to the Kettle Yarn Co. shop for more details on the shawl and its unique construction for the perfect spring accessory…
The refreshing, cooling rain on a summer afternoon and the rejuvenating scent of fresh lavender were the inspiration for my newest yarn, Rain Drops. Beautiful aqua and blue hues flow through the yarn with hints of delicate lavender. Together, they create a Zen-like color combination that’s hard to resist.
This beautiful Merino/silk singly-ply yarn, paired with Katie Degroff’s exclusive pattern, Rain Kissed, creates a beautiful, airy, and lacey cowl that will be perfect for wearing on cool spring days or summer evenings. It can be a perfect accessory for your outfit to add color, texture and a bit of warmth.
There are still some spots left for the 2014 Woolen Rabbit yarn club, which will feature a Once Upon A Time theme. Six popular designers—including Bonnie Sennott, Veera Välimäki and Rosemary (Romi) Hill—have agreed to join along and create a pattern from one of their favorite fairy tales or fables. See more information here.
Above are photos from last year’s club, which featured designs inspired by the Roaring ’20s.
