Well, we’ve been back 2 weeks. Today’s the day to water the succulents. This is being called “the summer that wouldn’t end” by many…

It’s time to start that gift knitting if you haven’t already! Here’s a fun and easy way to start…the HAY BAY HAT is an easy and intuitive stranded knitting project perfect for the first-timer. It’s the FREE BONUS pattern this week, so click the link in bio for the coupon code and links.⁠
⁠
Once that nip creeps into the air, I get the urge to do stranded color work. There’s something about having both hands buried in fluffy softness and watching the pattern magically emerge that is so very satisfying. The Hay Bay patterns feature a classic diamond and chevron motif with delicate falling snow.⁠
⁠
Everyone needs a classic toque, especially one that’s knit in fresh, bright, snowy fair isle. The Hay Bay Hat is a super simple stranded pattern, perfect for the first-time color work knitter. A deep, double fold ribbed brim provides extra warmth around the ears for those frosty days, while a roomy cap prevents hat head. A big fluffy pompom tops the whole thing off. It’s quick, easy and fun to knit and fun to give as a gift as well!⁠

Winter is coming! Take 25% off the YUKON RIVER SOC

Winter is coming! Take 25% off the YUKON RIVER SOCKS pattern this week in my Ravelry shop, no code required. Click the link in bio for details!⁠
⁠
It’s hard to believe, but we’re heading into it. Big snows will come, big cold will come and though it’s pretty temperate here in the Deep South, big socks are awfully good at keeping out the swampy damp. And heavy weight socks are quicker to knit in the lead up to Holiday making and baking, too!⁠
⁠
The Yukon River Stockings are inspired by winter snowstorms that close down northern cities and towns. Thick, deeply sculpted cables adorn these striking stockings and trap warm air close to the leg for maximum coziness. The well-shaped foot will fit comfortably inside a snow boot (or keep you warm while lounging at home on a snow day). A wide ribbed cuff completes the upper edge and keeps the stockings in place.⁠
⁠
Does anyone remember snow days? They were magical days, so snowy that school was cancelled. We got a fabulous “bonus Saturday” during which we’d play outside until we got cold or Mom called us in for lunch. I remember loving the pristine snow where no boots had trod before. Such was the inspiration for these thickly cabled over-the-knee socks.⁠

If you start now, you'll have warm and cozy socks for everyone on your holiday list! The POPPA SOCKS pattern is this week's FREE BONUS. Click the link in bio for details.⁠
⁠
Everybody needs socks! Especially socks that are fast to knit, durable, comfortable and great looking. With easy-to-memorize pattern detail and a simple, comfy shape, Poppa makes the perfect quick project for the car, commute or movie night; and, in DK weight, they knit up so fast you can make a pair for everyone!⁠
⁠
Poppa Socks are worked from the toe up. They’ve got a Fleegle heel and a delightful, garter-rich stitch pattern. Wouldn’t these be great in red!?!⁠

My all-time favorite shawl to knit, Craghill, is i

My all-time favorite shawl to knit, Craghill, is in the Spotlight this week. This intuitive yet engaging triangular shawl invites imaginative color combinations. I could while away many hours just combining and re-combining shades to make this cozy wrap!⁠
⁠
Craghill is an interesting mixture of techniques; you’ll find a little eyelet work, some stripes, some homely garter stitch and a really exciting mosaic stitch that is guaranteed to engage knitters of all levels. Though Craghill is generous in size, you’ll find it knits up quickly because of its “sampler-like” nature.⁠
⁠
A super fun, addictive slip stitch pattern is the main event in the Craghill Shawl. Little cubes appear like tiny pillows on a wide swathe of thin stripes that shrink and swell. Borders and bands of garter stitch add structure and graphic control to this exuberant three-color fabric while two row stripes contribute an element of order.⁠
⁠
But Craghill is really about the yarn. A luxurious blend of Merino and Corriedale, Weld from @hudsonandwestco is toothy yet soft, wooly and silky all at the same time. It’s spun to a perfect twist which combines the best qualities of worsted and woolen spun yarns. I’m telling you, this yarn is a real treat!⁠
⁠
“We love snuggly, soothing garter stitch in a shawl. Craghill by Cheryl Toy is a squishy, lightweight shawl for year round wear. The shawl is constructed from the top down from the center back and features eyelets, garter stripes, and tile-like motif on the main body.”⁠
