Last night we had our Spring Fashion Show and it was so much fun! Here are some pictures of our fabulous models in they've made or volunteered to model for someone else.

Thanks to everyone who came out, helped out, brought a project for the show or modelled, you all helped make it such a fun and supportive event! It's so lovely to see everyone show off their projects to other makers to ooh and ahh over! We're all inspired to make new projects now!

It's the last week of Shawl Month! We've got 2 new kits this week. All kits are 15% off - we've still got some kits from previous weeks too. Come down and get one while they last!

Odessa also just finished another shawl - the KBB Shawl by Brittany Garber of KnotBadBritt. This is such a great crochet shawl pattern! It's a big elongated triangular shawl that's great to wrap around on chilly evenings. The pattern even comes with a chart of when to change colours which is really handy. And the centre spine running down the middle is a really nice detail.

This shawl calls for fi*****ng weight yarn, but Odessa decided to use Mode at Rowan Alpaca Cotton because she's been looking for a excuse to try it out. It's a touch heavier than fi*****ng, but worked well and has a really nice halo to it. It would also look great in variegated sock yarn, Odessa is already planning another!

It's the last week of Shawl Month! We've got 2 new kits this week. All kits are 15% off - we've still got some kits from previous weeks too. Come down and get one while they last!

Mona just finished the new Honey Glow Shawl by Melanie Mielinger. It's a free pattern available here on Ravelry. It's a nice summery shawl with a bit of texture in an asymmetric triangle shape.

If you can knit and purl, you can make this shawl! It's also a great project to relax with in the summer, at the cabin, by the lake, in the garden, on the patio or the couch, wherever you are!

Mona knit this shawl with NEW 50 Cotton Lux. Estelle Yarns is celebrating 50 years as a family-owned Canadian business this year and they've made a few celebratory yarns for the occasion.

Cotton Lux is a softly striping cotton yarn with a touch of sparkle added in. The easy going shape and pattern of this shawl shows it off so well without being overwhelming. 2 balls is enough to knit this shawl - at 15% off these kits are just under $34!
