What to stash this week: Life’s a beach-y Advent

Tanya of Cornbread and Honey has been dyeing yarn for a decade and she is celebrating in festive fashion. To help get us through this brutal winter, Tanya is creating four yarn Advent color palettes, all themed around Life’s a Beach. To prepare, she’s offering them well in advance of the 2025 holiday season. Each one will contain 24 20-gram mini skeins in a traditional fade — think lots of variegated and speckled colorways — plus a coordinating full skein in either fingering-weight or DK Merino/nylon yarn….

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: let your yarn geek flag fly

David, the owner and dyer behind Crafter Gamer Geek, has merged longtime passions for old school video gaming via Colecovision and Atari, anime and board games with a love of yarn. The Crafter Gamer Geek shop includes a variety of colorways on a mix of weights and wools, including Merino, BFL, and Polwarth. While David isn’t trying to turn all of us into gamers — in fact, the yarn and fiber above are one of his only non-gaming colorways,…

What to stash this week: Inconceivable!

If you’re a fan of The Princess Bride, then you’ll find twue wuv in Mary Annarella’s latest mystery knit-along, “a shawl designed to get you through the fire swamp of the the past few years.” Like most of Mary’s MKALs, this will be a shawl with a series of stitch patterns that play with color, in this case four skeins. As with any MKAL, you’ll have to wait,…

What to stash this week: Nurture yourself

Over the winter, as I hunkered down at home for the umpteenth month while inhaling Schitt’s Creek (it’s simply the best!), I engaged in some serious comfort knitting with Julie Asselin’s Nurtured yarn — a rustic but soft blend of Rambouillet, Targhee and Merino that is hand dyed “in the wool” prior to being mill spun at Green Mountain Spinnery in Vermont. Aside from completing Casapinka’s Powder Wrap and Faye Kennington’s Winter Garden Hat,…
