Julia Trice of Mind of Winter has released a brand new pattern with our Superwash Sock yarn! Have a look here: Spring is officially here — the season of light, airy knits and bright colors. Frambuesa is my ode to spring. It’s a crescent shawl available in two sizes, a shawlette to drape over your…

I have nothing but admiration for career knitwear designers. It is hard work. I enjoy design, but I know that I’m not efficient at it. And if I’m not particularly efficient at it, then I tend to procrastinate. And that’s what happened with this particular design. Generally for each TNNA trade show, I’ve designed a…

Lynette Meek is a knitwear designer on Vancouver Island who also works at one of our retailers, Mad About Ewe Fine Yarns in Nanaimo. Her first published pattern of 2013 is the Espresso Shawl, designed and knit in our CashSilk Lace yarn. The Espresso Shawl is a traditionally constructed Shetland Lace Shawl, starting from the…

At long last, I can start to show you what we’ve been working on with the ever so fabulous, Tabetha Hedrick. She’s designed this elegant lace stole for us in our CashSilk Lace and the pattern has launched on Ravelry and our website too. Marietta is a deceptively easy lace pattern with eyelets and decreases…

This yarn has been on my wishlist for years. I’ve had my obsession with Kid Silk Haze before, so when I found this yarn, I couldn’t let it go. It’s finer, softer and silkier than any mohair-silk blend I’ve ever touched. Meet the newest yarn in our collection of luxurious silk-blend yarns. Silk Mist is…

The new Spring issue of Twist Collective is out now and I’m so in love. It’s nearly 70 pages long and packed full of really beautiful, detailed and tailored knitting patterns. There are light cardigans, summer tanks, airy shawls of all shapes, and many fine sock patterns. Susanna IC also has a couple new shawl…

After months of test knitting, re-knitting, and more test knitting, we launched my Lilac Leaves shawl pattern at TNNA last weekend. It’s a lovely little top-down semi-circular shawl that is really easy to knit and modify. Knit with just one skein of CashSilk Lace, it features a quick stockinette body section and then finishes with…

Melissa at Espace Tricot also knit up a gorgeous version of Kirsten Kapur’s Cladonia shawl. The shawl is designed to use two contrasting colours in the main body, alternating to make fine stripes. Some knitters have chosen to knit it entirely in one solid colour, but here Melissa has chosen two colourways that are “close”…

It’s a new year and time to start new things… including new knitting projects. Espace Tricot, a wonderful yarn shop in Montreal, is hosting a Knit-along starting January 19th in their shop and they chose our Superwash Worsted for their Hawthorne project. Hawthorne by Susanna IC is a stunning and versatile shawl / wrap / scarf…

Just a tiny little post… this shawl was meant to be a bridesmaids gift for my maid of honour, Michelle, but I was just too slow and it ended up being her birthday (2 days ago) gift. I designed it after an Estonian lace stitch pattern, a twig or double-twig pattern, and knit it up…

Like a bit of an addict, I’ve watched the first season of Game of Thrones nearly three times over now. Winter is coming. Winter is coming. It’s burned in my brain as I await the second season. All that tv-watching is actually REALLY productive, since I’ve knit several prototypes for new designs that are currently…
