Texture, Color, Blocks
Today we're looking at several patterns that feature blocks of texture and color - a trend we've been seeing everywhere!
Free Pattern Friday – Frame
With twisted stockinette texture, Frame is a great first mitt pattern. Just one skein of Cinema!
Design Spotlight – Winter Wonders
So many beautiful designs - where to start? We've picked a few of our faves from the first part of 2021.
Short story: Uptown Worsted is Affordable, anti-pilling acrylic yarn in fashion-forward and standard colors that doesn’t feel cheap and crinkly. Matte finish resembles that of more expensive fibers.
Uptown Worsted is my new favorite acrylic. Washes and dries like a dream. Excellent colors. No pilling. Feels very nice. I just made a baby blanket out of it, and will be making more.
I used Cotton Supreme for a baby blanket and LOVED it. It was much softer than I’ve usually been led to believe about cotton and the color that I used (magenta) was gorgeous.
