the knitty.com “deep fall” issue of 2010 is packed with great projects!
Here are a few patterns from the issue that we love and have some great substitution ideas for.
1. Brambles Beret
a classic cabled beret in worsted wool.
how about using the super affordable, center-pull balls of Plymouth Galway
2. Scare Isle Tam
a gorgeous example of “scary” colorwork
The new St-denis Boreale is an almost perfect substitute for Spindrift
Plus, Spindrift is only 115 yards, Boreale has 225 yards! so you’re sure to have plenty of yarn
here are the colors that match the pattern photo
Note: we decided to replace the orange with red, since red is used sparingly in the pattern, and hey, lets save some money! and we are using the white in place of the very light heather that is used, again, a money saver)
[MC] Black 999; 1 ball –>we chose Boreale 1213
[CC1] Natural 104, 1 ball –>we chose Boreale 1201
[CC2] Granite 122, 1 ball –>use color 1201 instead
[CC3] Chartreuse 365, 1 ball –>we chose Boreale 1297
[CC4] Amber 478, 1 ball –> use color 1258 instead
[CC5] Crimson 525, 1 ball –> we chose Boreale 1258
[CC6] Violet 600, 1 ball –> we chose Boreale 1279
3. Vines pullover
this GORGEOUS pullover is making me drool.
we don’t have the Fresco yarn in stock, BUT we can order it for you!
Fresco is also used in the Brooklyn Tweed pattern booklet

Phew! Tons of photos to take this week. But totally worth it.
Take a look at the Tilli Tomas new Beaded Lace and Sequin Lace colors!
We also have a few new colors in Fil de la Mer. This silk and seacell fiber blend has a muted sheen compared to the 100% silk yarns.
Got some new Soie de la Mer colors too!
And 4 light colors in Disco Lights that we failed to bring you!
Natural, Natural with Lime, Stony Mist and Skydrop.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I cannot believe I have not yet added the new Loop-d-Loop to the blog!
What was I thinking?
These new all-weather yarns are great cotton blends to fill in that gap of “I like cotton, but don’t like knitting with it.” And the pattern collection is amazing.
<– click for larger photo
The new yarn called Birch is a cotton and silk blend that must be touched to be believed. It reminds of Cashmere Canapa, a very soft feel for a cotton blend.
River is a worsted weight soft cotton that knits up light as a feather. Great Spring colors!
And here are just a few samples of the ultra cool patterns in Volume 2!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
