What to stash this week: Monarch magic
Megan of Megs & Co chose a photo of a chandelier-like cluster of monarch butterflies in a tree on the California coast as the inspiration for her Knitting Our National Parks colorway. Monarch Chandelier is stunning mix of orange, green, brown and gold, with just a hint of pink that makes for what I think of as a speckled neutral.
The colorway is available to preorder from Indie Untangled for the next two weeks on two bases that are appropriately made in the USA….

What to stash this week: Frogs, not frogging
The next Lyrical Knits mystery knit-along is most sensational, celebrational and inspirational: The Muppet Shawl.

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: Holiday weekend wool
I thought it was appropriate that designer Samantha Guerin released her Hearth and Haven hat pattern this week. This simple cabled beanie, and the special colorway from Katlin of Porter Wool Co, is inspired by the comforts of home in wreath form. It is sure to keep you warm this winter and is a delightful and quick knit — I cast on and completed mine during the Knit for Food Knit-a-thon earlier this year….

What to stash this week: A mountain of love
For her installment of Knitting Our National Parks, Jensen of Sugarplum Circus chose a gorgeous image of Mount Rainier by photographer Doug Shearer of the mountain surrounded by scarlet and lilac wildflowers on a misty morning — very Valentine’s Day. Since she couldn’t decide on just one color to spotlight, she dyed up four different colors: Mountain Blush, Alpine Aster, Moody Mist and Scarlet Paintbrush.
