Knitscene...Accessories 2014

The special issue of Knitscene accessories 2014 is now available.  Our very own Jessica has a design in this issue!!! These are my top five knit accessories.

Number one of course is the beautiful Recursive Shawl, by Jessica Bolof.  I would knit this out of Schoppel-Wolle Gradient. Gradient is 100% virgin wool with a whopping 285 yards. Jessica knit a sample out of Gradient and it only took one skein!!!  One skein check, big needles check, quick knit check = PRICELESS!!

Gradient #1701

Second on my list is the luscious Eva Marie Hat & Cowl, by Susanna IC.  My choice of yarn for this project would be Schoppel-Wolle Cashmere Queen.  Cashmere Queen is 35% cashmere, 45% merino wool, and 20% silk.  The feel and drape of this yarn will work wonderfully with the lace pattern.

Cashmere Queen #9205
Cacao

Third on the list is the Nene Shawl, by Julie LeFrancois.  This shawl is knit out of our Schoppel-Wolle, Zauberball, one of my favorite yarns!!! I just love the color changes.  This shawl has an easy lace pattern, which lets the Zauberball shine!!

Zauberball #1508

Fourth is the Calamus Hat, by Teresa Gregorio.  Calamus is a cute lacey slouchy hat that can be worn year round, easily knit up in Zitron Lifestyle.  Lifestyle is 100% Merino Extra Fine and is superwash.  Lifestyle is a Stash-quisition yarn and comes in 47 wonderful colors.

Lifestyle #89
Fuchsia

Fifth is the Dressel Shawl, by Megi Burc, for those of us that love color work this lovely shawl has Greek motifs.  I believe Kenzie by Hikoo would be the perfect tweed to knit up this gorgeous shawl.  Kenzie is 50% New Zealand Merino, 25% Nylon, 10% Angora and 5% Silk.
