Sweater weather is coming....are you ready???? We just received in a restock of Rainbow Beach and Brisbane to prepare for cooler temps and to fulfill all your sweater knitting dreams!! Let's begin with Rainbow Beach....     Rainbow Beach by Queensland Collection is a sport weight, 100% pure Australian wool that comes in marled and solid colorways. We paired 1 skein of the marled yarn with 2 skeins of the solid to make the Shift Cowl by Andrea Mowry This yarn would also work great for the Shifty which is an adorable sweater by the same designer that uses the same slipped stitch technique!

How lovely is this pattern by Li sa Hanes?  “Festival of Stitches” is a fun & playful project that will keep you engaged from start to finish! Different sections make it addictive and knit up quickly. The finished item will add a wonderful highlight to your daily wardrobe with a shape that is versatile and easy to wear. Yes, there’s lots of fun colourwork in this pattern! But only easy slipped stitches (yay, mosaic) and colour blocking, no stranded/fair isle/intarsia/brioche.  There are also be some cables, eyelets, stripes… but no super complicated techniques are used in this pattern.  Each section contains fully written instructions and charts so you can choose which you prefer to work from.  Every section in this pattern is completely adjustable to your liking or the yarn/yardage you have available. Lisa has a Ravelry group for chatting and sharing pictures (you can find it on her Ravelry link above (just scroll down a bit!) Be sure to use the hashtags:  #FestivalOfStitchesMKAL

Raffia is perfect for those baskets and beach bags you have been dreaming of!

She might not look big in the photo...but this 200 gram ball of yarn is a big impressive "beehive" ball of yarn!! Gloriously saturated tones are designed to play beautifully together.
