| Whats on the Needles at Tangled Yarns |
|
|
Derrin has two finished cowls to share with us this week, both featuring some of our lovely Jo Sharp Tweed! First up we have Rathmore by Irishgirlieknits in our Jo Sharp Silkroad DK Tweed (Peppercorn) I just love the pink and gray combination!
We no longer carry the Alpaca Kid Lustre, but a great substitute would be our Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light. Next we have a Turbulance Cowl by Laura Chau Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed (Posie and Beach).
Derrin loved making this – it was a fun, quick project! She wasn’t able to squeeze it out of one ball of each colour, and needed to crack into the second ball of Posie and Beach for the cast off.
Our lovely Lauren and her wonderful husband Tam are expecting a little bundle of joy later this year. Being able to knit for her own little one, Lauren has had lots of fun picking out yarn and pattern combinations. The first off her needles is a Newborn Vertebrae by Kelly Brooker in our Malabrigo Sock (Indiecita) to keep bub’s back warm (and avoid getting the front of the cardigan messy!)
And then, a little Milo vest by Georgie Hallam in Jo Sharp Silkroad DK Tweed (Treasure). This took less than a ball for the newborn size.
Expect to see lots of teeny, tiny knits in our ‘What’s on the needles’ in the coming months!
As soon as I saw Pei by Michele Wang I knew it would be perfect for my mum. Because I like to tinker with patterns and I love stripes I have used
The pattern is Modern Lace by Lion Brand.
I loved making this scarf so much that I had to make myself one in our Cascade Baby Alpaca Chunky. Two skeins in colour 559 – Ice Flower and an evening produced a super quick, squishy and warm scarf!
After some more instant gratification, a splash of colour and a way to tame my hair I grabbed a ball of our Noro Taiyo and made a colourful headband. The pattern, Unisex Dread Wrap Headband by Mama Pacha was quick and simple – exactly what I was after.

With the lovely weather this week I have started to pull my hats out. One of my favourite hats from last winter was my Rikke Hat by Sarah Young {knit}. I used a single skein of our Malabrigo Arroyo in Purpuras, this year my colours have changed and I am drawn to the blues and greens….Reflecting Pool from our current shipment of Malabrigo is really calling to me, I think it may become another Rikke!

| Whats on the Needles at Tangled Yarns |
|
|
Another of our lovely customers popped in to share her beautiful finished project. This is Misty Meadow by Cindy Garland {knit} in our Malabrigo Sock and Ella Rae Lace Merino.
She did say that some of these had been on the needles for some time, it is comforting to know that it is not just me that has some long term works in progress!! First up is a stunning Hap Blanket by Ysolda Teague {knit} in our Cascade Eco Wool and a now discontinued Tweed.
This one, is another yarn we discontinued some time ago but has certainly turned out beautiful!
For a splash of colour Maureen has used our Noro Silk Garden Sock to make these Ruffled Wristers by Katharine Hunt {knit}.
First up is this amazing, squishy Sunny Spread blanket by Ellen Gormley {crochet}.
Also off the needles this week for Rachel is this lovely Cameo shawl by Paulina Popiolek in our Madelinetosh Pashmina.
One of our fantastic Tech Support regulars, Michelle brought in a finished scarf to share at her last class. This is Undulation by Natalie Servant {knit} in a beautiful selection of colour from our Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran collection.
If you missed the details last week, the pattern is Flower Slippers by Hayley Missingham. I have used our Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino in a selection of different colours. I think that is why I am so addicted…I keep finding different colour combos that I have to put together!
Saturday night is unofficially ‘Cast On Night’ at Tangled Yarns (the night were we get sidetracked from our current projects by the new pretty yarns and patterns), and last Saturday night when Robin Ulrich released her new Greyhaven Hat {knit} it instantly jumped in my queue. A quick visit to the shop on Sunday morning meant that I was casting on by Sunday afternoon with our new Fibre Company Organik. Both the pattern and yarn were utterly divine and I have loved wearing my new hat every day this week.

| Whats on the Needles at Tangled Yarns |
|

One of our fantastic tech support students, Claudia has finished another great Autumn top. Pintuck T-Shirt by Lien Ngo in our Cascade Ultra Pima.
This beautiful blanket is Tweed Baby Blanket by Jared Flood in our Berroco Ultra Alpaca.
Kim fell in love with this colour in our Malabrigo Arroyo as soon as it arrived! She finally decided on the perfect project…Arabesque by Amy Curletto.
Alice has been busy over the past few weeks, first off the needles is this simply stunning Roxborough Dolman by Courtney Kelly in our Cascade Ultra Pima Fine.
The cotton makes this a very versatile top to wear in our warm climate and the oversize nature of the pattern allows for adding layers underneath in the cooler months (perfect with skinny jeans!). Next Alice finished this gorgeous little cardi for a last minute birthday present…finished with just enough time to block and gift wrap!! The pattern is Granny’s Favourite by Georige Hallam. Alice chose our beautiful Cascade Eco Alpaca for its buttery softness and the soft silver grey should match most outfits. This is the size three and used just under 2 skeins. Next up is a big sister version in a size eight!!
With the days cooling I needed to make a new kindy cardigan for my littlest one. Alice and I had a giggle as we both came into the shop on the same Saturday a few weeks ago with the same pattern in mind!
For my Granny’s Favourite by Georige Hallam I opted for our new Cascade 220 Superwash Worsted in a cheery yellow. To adjust for the slightly thicker yarn and the 4.5mm needles I knitted a size four with the size five length for my almost five year old miss.
For that instant splash of colour to my wardrobe I couldn’t go past our new Fibre CompanyAcadia in Kelp. This is the lovely Downton Cowl by Shannon Cook.
I have a few friends expecting new babes so decided to whip up a couple of pairs of little booties to have ready. These super sweet little booties are Flower Slippers by Hayley Missingham in our Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino. They are a little addictive to make….

Anita is ahead of the game and has her mums Mothers Day gift finished weeks early.
This is a stunning Entrelac Scarf by Allison LoCicero in our Noro Silk Garden. I am sure her mum will adore it!
My little ones best friend is expecting a new sibling any day now and I couldn’t resist the excuse to knit a teeny tiny hat…this is my Little Set of Stripes pattern with a twist! I have held our Cascade 220 Superwash Sport held together with our Debbie Bliss Angel for a subtle halo to the hat.
I didn’t use a specific pattern but was inspired by several Crocheted Granny Cowls on Ravelry.

| The Simple Things |
|
|
The latest issue of the delicious The Simple Things has hit the shop floor – Issue 08.
Issue 08 is a feast for the eyes with food, interiors, gardening, travel and well being including how to mix market finds with family treasures, how to grow your own tomatoes, expert planting advice for herbs and plenty of delicious recopies to share with friends.
Friending and following are fun, but no substitute for flesh-and-blood intimates. No stately pile will ever be as quirky as simpatico as your own gaff. Hyped new restaurants can’t compete with home-cooked platters drizzled with love. And a spontaneous outing in the fresh air can yield as many lifelong memories as a long-haul holiday. This April, make sure that you look ahead, look on the bright side, but most of all look in the right place!

The newest issue of our Debbie Bliss Knitting Magazine arrived earlier this week – Spring Summer 2013.
Full to the brim with 33 fresh new knits. In the fashion pages you will find simple, stylish knits. Designers have long taken their inspiration from the world of books and film, so it is not surprising that news of a remake of The Great Gatsby made us think of 1920′s style: flirty pleats and long, lean silhouettes.

Treat yourself to a feminine, lacy knit in Rialto Lace. A beautiful extra fine merino which gives drape while still lending clarity to the most delicate of stitch patterns.

It is an age old story, girl meets gossamer, cloud-soft fibres such as the super kid mohair and silk in the Debbie Bliss Angel yarn, and falls in love with knitting!
Soft and light as a feather, Angel is a sublime blend of Super Kid Mohair and Silk that creates a gossamer fibre just right for delicate romantic designs. Wispy shrugs, a lacy singlet, a wrap cardigan the collection has perfect cover ups for every day wear or special occasions all year round.

Maureen continues to amazing me with her projects, another two off the needles this week! First up she has finished a Summer Waves Cardi by Vera Sanon {knit} in our Cascade Ultra Pima. This is an ideal little cardi for this time of year when the days are still so lovely but sometimes you just need that extra layer.
Although the pattern only requires one skein of yarn Maureen found she was running short so had to pull back a few times to get it just right as she had one lone skein of our Madeline Tosh DK from a shipment last year.
Over the Easter break Amanda popped in to share a finished sweet little Jane by Georgie Hallam {knit} in our
This is a large squishy Drop Stitch Cowl by Abi Gregorio {knit}.
Kim spotted a quick hat that I whipped as a gift just before Easter and thought it would be the perfect hat for her daughter. The pattern is Puffer Hat by Adina Volokitkin {crochet} and Kim has used our Cascade 128 Superwash Chunky.
One of my cousins welcomed a new addition into their family last week. The moment I heard the fantastic news that the baby was on the way I cast on a tiny little Milo by Georgie Hallam {knit}.
When we received our first shipment of the luscious Malabrigo Silkpaca I knew I had to make something in Frank Ochre and Polar Morn…. Over the long weekend I managed to cast of Featherweight Cardigan by Hannah Fettig {knit} and I simply adore it! This is at least the second time I have made Featherweight and I am certain it won’t be the last time….especially with the divine fabric created by our Silkpaca.

I am thrilled to introduce another new brand to Tangled Yarns – The Fibre Company!! With much excitement we received our first box of deliciousness this week….Road To China Light.

The unique blend of fibres are spun into a smooth yarn and then kettle dyed, and the different way the fibres absorb the dye creates a beautiful depth of colour with subtle heathered tones.

Anita saw two colours of our Ella Rae Lace Merino and Malabrigo Sock hanging next to each other and was struck by how perfectly they complemented each other. Of course they had to become a Stripe Study Shawl by Veera Valimaki {knit}, Anita’s second – she enjoyed the first one so much.   A new little member is almost due to join Kim’s family and of course there is an adorable little blanket ready and waiting. Always a massive Jared Flood fan, his Tweed Baby Blanket {knit} was hard to go past.
Kim has used three colours from our Jo Sharp Silkroad DK collection – Festival, Coca & Fleece. I have had a week of finishing this week with several projects off my needles. First up is one of our new class projects – Turbulence Cowl by Laura Chau. {knit}
I have used two colours of our Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran that I have been smitten with since our first Autumn shipment arrived a few weeks ago – Dove & Enamel. After my littlest one seeing the buttery yellow Entrechat by Lisa Chemery {knit} that I made last week she requested one of her own. This is my second Colour Affection, one is simply not enough!
I have used our Ella Rae Lace Merino in #126, Cascade Heritage Silk in #5168 & Tosh Sock in Mica.
