5 things to knit right now + 5 things to stash

We’re in a strange in-between season when it comes to knitting — we want to prepare for all the fall things, but we don’t necessarily want a thick pile o’ wool in our laps. So, this week, I decided to share some projects that take very little time to complete, but that don’t have to be set aside until October to wear (or, let’s be honest, December, with the way our weather tends to go). …

What to stash this week: Colorful yarn countdown

For this year’s Indie Untangled New Year countdown box, I decided to turn to the color trend-forecasting group PANTONE® for inspiration. Join 26 indie dyers for Colors of the Year, and count down to 2024 with yarn colorways inspired by every Pantone Color of the Year since 2000!

Your box will include:

• 24 fingering-weight mini skeins designed to flow together cohesively (each mini is 20g and has approximately 90 yards)
• Two full fingering-weight skeins designed to showcase the minis
• Five specially-created or selected gifts
• One shawl pattern to knit with your minis,…

What to stash this week: Summer yarn

Christine of Treasure Goddess Yarn has what just might be the perfect yarn for those summer projects. Her Bamboo Linen Treasures base is comprised of 70% bamboo and 30% linen provide a combination of drape and just enough structure for lightweight summer tops and shawls. It’s also one of the featured yarns for the Olive Knits 4 Day KAL, called Lemon Spritz. (Don’t worry, you don’t actually need to finish in four days!)

It’s officially summer,…

Audrey of The Conifer Collective has opened preorders for her BFF Collection. This collection of 12 colorways — five variegated and seven tonals — is “a throwback to growing up with your besties and all the good memories that come along with it.” Audrey worked with two of her besties to come up with the colorway names, including Friendship Bracelet, Pillow Fort and M.A.S.H.

The colorways are available on five bases,…

What to stash this week: Yarn blues

Teresa of Sunny Day Fiber is winding down April with the blues — blue yarn, that is. Her latest mini skein set has six blue colorways: Navy, Sky, Light Baby, Lapis, Ice Blue and Blue Skies. They’re perfect in scrappy socks with any complementary leftovers you may have in your stash. She’s also remixed them into special sock sets.

What to stash this week: Sand knits

Last year, Amélie of Quebec-based Emilia & Philomene collaborated with designer Marion Mursic of Marion Em Knits on a yarn and design inspired by colorful beach shacks that line the sand in the North of France, where Marion resides. The gently speckled colorway, Tricots de Sable, which translates to sand knits, was dyed on a lovely blend of wool and linen that is ideal for working with in the heat of summer. Marion held the yarn double for her Sable Hat pattern,…
