Cynthia's Fine Yarn - Tam Cynthia’s Fine Yarns has designed an adorable hat. The pat­tern calls for Flur­ries yarn. After I knit it up I know exactly who is going to receive it. Yum, I can’t wait to get started.

The “Sum­mer Sol­stice” is a stun­ning cardi­gan sweater using Tilli Tomas Raw Silk and Planet Earth Beaded Silk. The Planet Earth Beaded Silk are smaller put‐ups of the same gor­geous silk of Tilli Tomas yarn. There is plenty to use as a col­lar, cuffs or bor­der of a sweater. The “Sum­mer Sol­stice” uses it for an I‐cord.

Have you thought of mak­ing an afghan?  Janet Jen­nings  just fin­ished one using your Elsie Bok Choy yarn.  It turned out beau­ti­fully so I thought you might be inter­ested in see­ing it.   It uses a run­ning vine and leaf stitch pat­tern through­out with a seed stitch bor­der. Pic­ture on the left is the afghan and on the right is a close‐up of the pat­tern.
