    Wendy Knits Lace

    Wendy Knits Lace

    Wendy Knits Lace by Wendy D. Johnson is a beautiful compendium of lace patterns, featuring – of course – Tilli Tomas yarns among the many fabulous materials she chose. (See our post about the Garden Party Cardigan here.)This is a great choice for anyone looking to branch out and expand their lace knitting chops, or make the most of that one special skein.

    Seamless Crochet by Kristin Omdahl is another great book we’re delighted to be a part of. It features Tilli Tomas yarns in two patterns – a modern take on the crocheted scarf, and a traditional shawl. The shawl is a great take on lace for those of you who would rather hook-in than cast-on.

Anderson’s fabulous knit toys:

    Elefante by Susan B. Anderson

    Elefante

    Her whimsical creations made us also think of Ysolda Teague‘s fabulous knit creatures:

    Mousie by Ysolda Teague

    We couldn’t think of a better kind of project for holiday gifts and keeping your inner child alive.  Most of these projects call for a sock weight or DK yarn, so we recommend our Tilli Tomas SOCK.  In a wide array of bright colors, it’s perfect for bringing these toys to life.

    Excited to create your own fuzzy friend?  Get started with Itty Bitty Toys or Ysolda’s creatures, and then have fun picking out your yarn here.

    We are so pleased to see Michelle Miller (AKA Fickle Knitter) release her first book of patterns – and even more delighted that she chose to use our brand new artisan-dyed SOCK yarn.

    The book includes the beautiful shawl shown above – the Wave or Particle Shawl, which uses only 1 skein of Tilli Tomas SOCK!

    Michelle’s book can be purchased as a .pdf download on her website here. And since it’s an automatic download (instant gratification!), if you’re itching to get started on these 8 amazing projects, you can buy the right yarns for the job at the same time right here.

    • ]]>     Knitting Wrapsody Kristen Omdahl is releaseing a new book featuring patterns with a theme relating to items that can be wrapped, whether around the neck, shoulders, or waist.All of the garments incorporate interesting elements, from reversible stitch patterns and unique knitted edgings to interesting closures. Each project is knitted, but much of the aesthetic draws inspiration from the geometry, motifs, and techniques of crochet.

    Some of the techniques are quite unusual and readers will benefit from watching the enclosed DVD to see some of them demonstrated before casting on for a project.
      The release date for A Knitting Wrapsody Book & DVD is January 22, 2011. You can pre-order it at amazon.com or Interweavestore.com, but if you want a personalized, signed copy for yourself or the knitter in your life, you can pre-order from me HERE.  (Pretty neat !)
