What to stash this week: Drape yourself in yarn & patterns
Toby Roxane Barna popped up on my radar a few years ago, when the first of her London Underground-themed shawls came out. I’m sure you’ll also be smitten with Toby’s latest design, the Odalie shawl, pictured above, which is inspired by the 1920s flapper era. All of Toby’s designs, including several sweaters, are perfect for hand-dyed yarns.
June Pryce Fiber Arts has also introduced a new base: Seaside Singles is a single-ply 100% superwash Merino that feels silky soft,…

What to stash this week: Patterns and yarns and prizes
The latest cowl design from Laura of Fiber Dreams is a journey to Margaret Street in London, where All Saints Church is filled with ogees, arches, and other architectural details that inspired the pattern. It’s knit in the round with fingering-weight yarn and the pattern includes four different sizing options, though many more are possible by changing the number of times the motif is worked in a circle, and how many times the rows are worked….

Vogue Knitting Live NYC 2015: The indies
Vogue Knitting Live always tends to sneak up on me, but it never fails to supply me with a ton of knitting inspiration and remind me why I decided to pick up my first pair of Clover needles several years ago.
I didn’t end up taking any classes this year, like I have in the past. The ones I was particularly interested in (with Amy Herzog and Kate Atherley) sold out pretty quickly,…

It will be her first major update in over a year, since she took time off from dyeing to be a stay-at-home mom.
A woman after my own heart,…
Cowl-a-palooza 2, Electric Boogaloo
When I first saw Duck Duck Wool‘s Boys and Berries colorway, I knew I had to have it. The opportunity came at the Rhinebeck Trunk Show. There wasn’t a whole lot left when I finally got to visit Sandra’s table, which had been mobbed. And there it was: the shiny pink-purple that most people who know me would call a Lisa Color.
I would have taken a bunch of skeins,…
