Cool Knits from the Tuesday Night Knitters

Oh so cool! Here are some of the projects that Tuesday Night Knitters have made for their family and friends.

Colleen Forman's First Scarf is modeled here by her daughter. So fashionista, Colleen! Congratulations on a wonderfully warm Christmas gift for your daughter. I know that Colleen has finished a second scarf and may be well on the way into another scarf by now. I believe that this scarf is knit of Brown Sheep Lanaloft Handpaint in the color "Autumn Run." Very nice!

Then we have Kathy Kent's perky peeky hat which she gifted to her little friend Willow. Willow obviously is pleased with her hat. Congratulations, Kathy, on a knitting job well done! Looks like Kathy used the same yarn as Colleen did -- the Handpaint from Brown Sheep. I think that this color is "Salt Water Taffy."

Here's a link to that yarn on our website:http://www.graywooddesigns.com/product.php?id=13

Notice from Willow's hat that this yarn knits up with a chunky look. It is listed as a worsted weight yarn but can be knit at a looser gauge for the "big yarn" look.

Luscious Handpaint Yarn

Here's Brown Sheep's Lanaloft Handpaint yarn. This is a softly spun yarn that is single ply and is 100% wool. We like knitting this yarn for winter hats and find that one skein does a hat for an adult or child easily. Our new website (still to come!) will feature this yarn along with other from the Brown Sheep Co. Brown Sheep is located in Mitchell, NB and is one of the premier producers of knitting yarns here in the U. S.

This is Color LL777 -- Autumn Run in Lanaloft Handpaint Worsted weight 100% wool.
Yardage:  160 yards per 100 gram skein
Price: $12
Suggested needle size: US # 10 1/2. (We prefer using #8 or 9 for this yarn.)
