I keep forgetting to take photos of the Pumpkin Patch yarns! They are an amazing assortment of orange, brown, green and yellow. During October, Saturdays are "Knit your own Pumpkin Patch" days! What does that mean? That means that if you stop in on Saturdays (10am - 4pm) and purchase one of the "pumpkin approved" yarns from Farmhouse Yarns, you'll recieve the pumpkin pattern free! It's an easy pattern and can be used on any weight yarn, w/ any size needles. Changing these 2 variables gives you different sized pumpkins! How fun and easy is that? Basic DPN (Double Point Needle) knowledge is needed.I've been working on a wrap from O'wool's pattern collection, "Aethercopter", it's pictured to the left (Thank's O-Wool! And for those of you who know my sis, no this isn't her!) The pattern is available at Darn Yarn Needles and Thread for $5.99. While I don't think it would be difficult for most knitters, it's my first try at anything lace-like, and I'm having a hard time with the YO's. Not the fault of the pattern or the yarn, I just can't seem to keep them all. The pattern is actually very well written, that's why I thought I'd try it for my first shot at something lacey. The pattern calls for 5 skiens of O-Wool's Balance Yarn - also available at DYNT (and if I don't have a color you'd like, I can order it for you). The pattern is free w/ the purchase of 5 skiens.
If you can't knit..sign up for the class! October 11 & 18!
