One of my favourite things about knitting and designing shawls is dreaming up color palettes! From neutrals to brights - it's always so interesting to see what color combos you all use. Add in gradients and speckles and you've got a great way to show off your personality in your knitting. My newest pattern - ATMEN, is fabulous for doing exactly that and for using leftovers, showing off custom palettes and for mixing up colors and having some fun!
I recently was lucky enough to get back to visit one of my fave yarn shops - Churchmouse Yarns & Teas in Bainbridge Island, WA. Whenever I get to Churchmouse I dive into the yarns and have some serious fun pulling color combos for shawls. This visit we put together some yummy palettes for my newest design - ATMEN. You can find these color palettes all for sale HERE on the Churchmouse website. You can also purchase lovely printed pattern booklets of ATMEN both online and in their shop as well.
We're so excited to announce that we'll be coming to visit some of our favourite yarn shops - Churchmouse Yarns & Teas and Tolt Yarn & Woolwith our newest book and trunk show!
We love getting a chance to visit both of these inspiring and gorgeous shops and getting to see all of you! We'll be bringing the trunk show for our newest book - Within: Knitting Patterns to Warm the Soulso you can see the pieces from the book in person and even try them on!
Last week I released my newest pattern - AMBERLE! Will you be making an Amberle shawl? Why not join in the Amberle Knit Along over in the fun Churchmouse Yarns & Teas Ravelry Group? They will be all knitting up Amberle's together! I can't wait to see all the color choices and yarns! You can join in HERE.
I'm back from our road trip over to Washington and I'm super excited to show you the goodies I brought home with me! The shops we visited are all wonderful and special and I'm so happy to have been able to bring back with me some very yummy goodies!
I had such a wonderful time visiting these amazing shops! All the lovelies from this post were from Churchmouse Yarns & Teas, Tolt Yarn and Wool Shop and Dry Goods Design. If you are in the Seattle, WA area I highly recommend visiting all 3 shops! Each is special and inspiring in it's own unique way!
I'm on the road today with Jane travelling to the iconic and gorgeous Churchmouse Yarns & Teas Shop on pretty Bainbridge Island, WA! This is a shop that is definitely not to be missed! Drool worthy in fact! Bainbridge Island is a quick (and super affordable) relaxing ferry ride away from downtown Seattle (read the easy directions here)! So grab your knitting, relax and come on over to Churchmouse to hang with us on Saturday from 11am - 3pm!
