What to stash this week: Handmade from head to toe

Last summer, I was browsing the booths at Shoppe Object, a curated trade show in New York City, when I came across Chelsey Greene Studio. I was immediately taken in by her vibrant jewelry. Many of her pieces looked beaded, but they were actually made of thread, knotted together with micro macrame. Chelsey is based in San Francisco and creates stunning color combinations, including custom styles. Pictured above is her take on the recent Indie Untangled show colorway on her Dylan earring style….

What to stash this week: Frogs, not frogging

The next Lyrical Knits mystery knit-along is most sensational, celebrational and inspirational: The Muppet Shawl. The pattern is for a rectangular shawl with several different stitch patterns and a fun twist to the construction at the end. It’s worked up in fingering-weight yarn with one main color and six mini skeins, though it’s possible to do it with fewer contrasting colors.

The first clue drops on March 1, and if you purchase the pattern during the preorder period,…

What to stash this week: Fall far into this yarn

Monica from Vermont-based Round Mountain Fibers is dreaming of Alaska. For her Knitting Our National Parks inspiration, she chose a fittingly fall-hued photo of the blazing fall colors at Serpentine Hot Springs in the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve. The preserve is one of the most remote protected areas of the United States, with no roads. But you can still get two colorways — the variegated/speckled Bering Land Bridge and the semisolid Tundra Green.

Bering Land Bridge is available to preorder on full skeins of both Alder Fingering (80% Superwash Merino/ 20% nylon) and Willow DK (100% Superwash Merino),…
