Here’re this week’s Knit Knacks: Børstet Alpakka edition ✨🧶
Again, I state, this yarn is a statement piece yarn. We’re using it for texture. We’re using it for fun. We’re gonna use the project we make out of it when we want to remind ourselves we’re creative, cute, and cool. A lot of the projects we chose remind me (Ashia) of a cartoon where the characters have a staple outfit for every episode. It’s a look that’s natural yet still iconic. Børstet is like that in that it doesn’t have to try too hard … it’s just good enough.
Alright going clockwise around the collage -
• Petite Knit Olga sweater. Yeah, you could use something like a Rios for a simple stripe but no! Have some fun with this fuzzy yarn (which according to feedback doesn’t shed too bad!)
•Clematis Sweater Chunky by Emma Maier. What a great use for buttons. What a great opportunity to let the yarn shine.
•I know my customers. I know several of you would scoff at me for recommending an Alpaca based dress. I am STANDING on it Stashies. This is Shaun by Isabell Kraemer, which is originally listed as a sweater, (go ahead, take the easy way out).
•the Berlin Scarf by Susanne Müller. This is for my gworls who dont feel like committing to a project but want something cute. A statement piece scarf, and you can do some funky color combos. Also, check out the skinny versions of the scarf. Super cute.
•Crazy Daisy Cardigan by Bea Fischer-Harrison. This is for my whimsical-core, fairy-core, always reaching a Romantasy novel-core, or elementary school teacher core girls. It’s giving main, gentle, character. Super fun.
•Wave Sweater by Spektakelstrik and Ridge Sweater Junior by Sandnes Garn. These look great for my Stashies that want to venture into colorwork and end a project with a feeling fulfilled.
•Cuddle Vest by Maryna Demydas. Are vests cute on yall? You get bonus points for feedback if the answer is yes and you struggle to find your bra size in store.
•Crocheted Frog by Claire Garland. Cause sometimes, you don’t want a big project… but you do want a friend for your desk.
Until next week.
