Nancy's new wrist warmers


Perfectly pink and pretty, these bulky wrist warmers were hand knit in no time by Nancy using Ning's new wrist warmer pattern and some beautiful bulky alpaca! These mits chase the chill away and knit up quickly, making them a great knit for holiday gift giving, sure to satisfy!

Sublime Kid Mohair

Donna cannot get enough of this magical mohair yarn! She just finished up this beautiful open mohair scarf and has now cast on for a matching beret!

The patterns for both the scarf and beret are available here at Knitty Knotty and we've got many colors to choose from in this rightfully-named Sublime kid mohair.

More socks in Rio de la Plata


It looks like everyone around the shop is getting bitten by the "just one more row" bug when knitting with Rio de la Plata yarn...Donna just finished a pair too! The colors in this yarn are beautifully spun and they delighfully dance among the ribs in this fantastic sock!

Jaywalker's in Rio de la Plata


Finally finished and on my feet! Using Grumperina's Jaywalker pattern and Rio de la Plata 100% pure new wool sock yarn, these socks were a treat to knit. The yarn is full of beautiful colors plied together to make for one fun and fabulous knitting experience. When you begin a pair of socks with this yarn expect to get bitten by the "just one more row" bug because as you see the colors come together and play off one another you will not be able to put your knitting down.

Del Sur and La Pampa



New yarn = new patterns here at Knitty Knotty. The new yarn is chunky and soft and the new patterns are quick satisfying knits. AslanTrends Del Sur and La Pampa are used for both the beret and wrist warmers, both are insanely fast and fun knits. Better yet, to make this fabulous set, only one skein of each are required! These are so quick to knit you will be crossing names off your holiday to knit list faster than you can imagine!

Stitches Sighting...Noro Transition Wrap


Sighting at Stitches! The Noro Transition Wrap! To Ning's surprise, while offering her patterns out of the Seaport Yarns booth at Stitches East in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, she spotted a mystery woman wearing one of her very own patterns...the Noro Transition Wrap! With Ning's pattern and only three skeins of Noro's beautiful transition yarn this wrap is perfect to gift to a loved one or get for yourself!

Beaded Baby Beanie


Tired of making the same old baby gifts? Check out this ultra luxurious baby beanie! Donna just finished the new Tilli Thomas beaded baby beanie, using their new "Flurries" yarn. It is 100% merino with a carrier pre-strung with glass seed beads. The yarn was a dream to knit with, and the pattern was a quick knit. If you are looking for something extra special to pamper that extra special baby, look no further. The pattern requires one skein of Flurries (two for the larger sizes), so you can splurge without breaking the bank. Later this week, check what’s on my needles for yet another Tilli Thomas pattern, an Evening Trinket Bag made with Disco Lights, 100% silk with sequins – can’t wait!
