Never Enough Colorwork

Kassie can't get enough of colorwork!

  One of my most recent FOs: Heartskull Hat by Siouxsie Stitches.

My spooky beanie! :)

  It was a quick knit for me, whipped up in two weekends. :) If you need one before Halloween, but don't know how to do colorwork, I teach a class on how to knit with a color in each hand!

  I knit them both using Kenzie, which is now a Stash-quisition yarn, AND we just got 10 new colors in!!!!
  I've got a bit leftover of the blue and purple, so I've decided to use them up to make another hat. I plan on knitting Clayoquot Toque by tincanknits, which is part of their newest collection, Road Trip. We'll be getting in our copies soon, and hopefully a Trunk Show too!

  Here's the three colors together, Boysenberry, Tekapo, and Glacier, along with my lil doodles to try and choose which colors to put where.

I might have to flip a coin, I think they both look cute!

Cozy Hats for Blustery Days

Hi friends!

I don't know about you, but I've been cold lately and when I'm cold I turn to yarn! All of these hats work up quickly and we have samples at the shop for you to try on! 5 of the hats are knitted and 2 are crocheted and all are fun to make :)

From the top left: Gilbert's Hat in Kenzie, & Hunter in Mistral.
From the middle left: Hipster Hat in Reggae Ombre, Venture in Luxair, & Tall Dark and Handsome in Gradient.
From the bottom left: Bon Bon Toque in Simpliworsted, & Maid Marion in Kenzie.


I also have a bit of outfit inspiration for you too! I personally love wearing color when the weather turns gray and cold. It's such a cheery contrast to the lack of vitamin D (as I type I'm wearing high-waisted blue jeans with polka dots and a white sweater!).

Uniqlo merino v neck sweater / Uniqlo jeans / Flat shoes / ASOS blue handbag / Liz Claiborne stone jewelry / Accessorize navy blue shawl / Uniqlo thin belt

I love the bold yet tied-together look of this ensemble. The colors are pulled from the hat with the most dramatic being the colored jeans. If the look is too much for you try switching the pants for something more neutral.

Until next time,
