🚨 A new test begins! Calling all test knitters! 🚨

Check out this gorgeous new crescent shawl I've cooked up. It's a relaxing knit with a lot of style.

Load of chill garter stitch is interspersed with the simplest brioche and a single line of special YOs to give some delicious texture.

The test ends on September 29, giving you 11 weeks to complete (though you won't need it!).

If you're interested comment or DM!

The shawl uses 1 main color of worsted weight yarn and 1-5 CCs--you can choose how you stripe! Which means you'll need 775 yds/710 m of your MC and 225 yds/205 m total of CC (that's 45 yds/41 m each if you choose to go with 5 CCs).

(Have another weight other than worsted that you'd like to use? You're not out of the running yet! Shoot me a message.)

The yarn I used? La Bien Aimee's incomparable Corrie Worsted (provided for free thanks to the awesome LBA team!).

Test knitters needed for sport weight colorwork cardigan (and cowl)!!!⁠
⁠
Girl, I am so excited that this one is ready for testing! The cardigan is a top down raglan worked entirely in the round and steeked the end. 85% is simple stockinette the round and the bottom 15% (or the whole cowl) is a stunning stranded colorwork motif that is easy to memorize. You are going to love it!⁠
⁠
The cowl can be worked alone or is a great working “swatch” for the cardigan. (Cowl-neck cardi anyone?) Knitting the cowl is NOT required as part of the cardigan test knit. ⁠
⁠
The test last for eight weeks. It ends on August 25. A Ravelry page is required upon publication.⁠
⁠
I need 2-3 testers for each size cardigan: 30 (34, 38, 42, 46) (51, 54, 59, 63)”/ 76 (86.5, 96.5, 106.5, 117) (129.5, 137, 150, 160) cm -- finished chest circumference. Cardigan knitters will have the first chance at the cowl slots. ⁠
⁠
If interested, comment or DM me with your size preference. Spots are filled on a first come, first served basis. ⁠
⁠
Yarn: Nocturne & Wilder 😍😍😍⁠

Calling all testers! I am beginning a secret (and super fun) test for a knit wrap. ⁠
⁠
It's got simple shaping, lots of garter stitch, and a few well-placed bobbles. Better still, you get the whole pattern and only test the first two sections. ⁠
⁠
For the test, you'll only need 2 100g skeins of DK weight yarn in different colors. (Or you could use fi*****ng weight held double!) The whole pattern calls for 5 skeins, but you could totally make a shorter version with 4. (60" = 4 skeins, 75" = 5 skeins)⁠
⁠
The test will last for 3 weeks, ending on July 15. ⁠
⁠
DM me with interest and for photos of a sketch and swatch. ⁠
⁠
All tester will get a 15% off coupon for the suggested yarn and an extra week for the yarn to ship. Using the suggested yarn is not required. ⁠

Are you a details or a big picture person? In Cebu Blue, prepare to be stunned with both the details and the big picture. ⁠
⁠
I have to admit, I'm a bit obsessed with a lace cowl. I live in the South so lace is a great way for me to wear knits even in the summer heat. ⁠
⁠
It's the perfect small project that won't add a lot of warmth to your lap while working on it. And the incredible temp-controlling properties of wool make it not too hot and not too cold no matter what the weather. ⁠

I just had to share a close up of the knotted wood grain cable in Against the Grain Shlanket.

I absolutely adore how big and bold this stitch pattern became in the air and weight yarn. Add to that scent mega squishiness going on and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a wrap-me-up-in-goodness shlanket.

And did I mention that the instructions are both charted and written? So everyone can enjoy!

Grab your copy now for 20% off with the code WALKINTHEWOODS 😄

There's something incredibly meditative about this shawl pattern. The comforting rhythm of the 2/2 ribbing, paired with the easy to memorize cables makes for relaxing knitting. Now add to that the fast progress of Aran-weight yarn and the super cozy, yet stylish giant shawl you just want to sink into all day long. That's my recipe for perfection. ⁠
