What to stash this week: Yarn party

Stephanie of Wonderland Yarns and Frabjous Fibers is extending an invitation to a “Tour of the Season” — and there is definitely crafting allowed. This new monthly yarn club for 2024 features 12 hand-dyed colorways inspired by a grand literary event — country manors, city estates, masked ballrooms and a garden party or two. The colorways will be dyed on their base of the year, Mad Hatter sport, or that month’s featured base. …

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….
