Brand new from Zitron, it’s Patina & Patina Color!

Zitron Patina


Wool and Rayon in a DK weight

Patina color

Four gorgeous multi color blends plus matching solids — imagine this:

Sarah Coleman

This sweater is from designer Sara Coleman shown on the Madrid runway, but this theme is everywhere in all sorts of styles — multicolored body & contrasting trim.

We suggest using Patina with the Ann Norling basic top down raglan  for a pullover with 1-2 balls in the contrast color for a piece you’ll wear for years.  Could easily be a cardigan–that’s one of the joys of hand knitting–get just what you want!!

We have just gotten a special purchase 8-ply yarn from Regia, and this pattern,

RegiaZimaColor Hat&wristwarmers 2 is free.  Take a look at this:

Regia Zima Color
Regia Zima Color

Zima Color 8-ply is a quick-to-knit DK weight, but with all the desirable qualities of Regia sock yarn, including being machine washable!  Just one ball (200g) is enough to make this set.

What a beautiful look, and it all comes automatically with the Zima self patterning yarn that changes colors while adding geometric pattern details.  It’s reminiscent of the S&S Mexiko yarns that were so popular.

This is a limited edition yarn, so get yours today.

What a great last minute project for crocheters!  So elegant, and so useful too.

We recommend either Super 10 cotton or Rowan Creative Linen for these lovely table accessories.

Bighorn Sheep Rams

While we were on a trip to harvest firewood, we came across a large herd of Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep–what a treat!  These sheep aren’t for wool, of course, but they are gorgeous.  These two big rams were leading about 15 ewes and kids.  If you look closely in the picture you can see another immature ram (the other white rear end) and the legs and lower body of a smaller kid behind the two dominant males.

Yesterday we left Jackson for the TKGA Knit and Crochet Show, after loading up the new truck.  Only 40 miles outside of Jackson, here’s what we encountered:

Those little ones are the calfs born last spring.  Don’t know if you can see the cowboys way in back, but two are on horseback and the last one was on a motorcycle!

Oh, and here’s a photo of our new truck:
