3 Color Cashmere Cowl or Shawl KAL at Stash!

Join Stash for the 3 Color

Cashmere Shawl or Cowl KAL

Fridays, Feb 26, March 4, 11 & 18 , 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm 

This is the perfect project to try a color outside of your comfort zone but have always wanted to knit.  For me it's the Glow Stick color by Knerd String.  It's so bright, I gotta wear shades to knit it!

The 3 Color Cashmere Cowl is a lovely little pattern to let the days go by while peacefully knitting away… There are no complex stitches in this cowl, just putting together some stripes, texture and lace as they suit you best!

3 color cashmere shawl by joji locatelli

The 3 Color Cashmere Shawl was inspired by the 3-Color Cashmere Cowl, the shawl version is for those who prefer the freedom of a shawl, or for those simply looking for an excuse to make this fun project again! There are no complex stitches in this shawl, just some stripes, texture and lace put together to peacefully knit away.

You will need: for the cowl: 3 colors fingering weight yarn approx. 200 yards each.  for the shawl: 3 colors fingering weight yarn approx. 350 yards each.  We recommend Knerd String Fingering or Wonderland Yarns Queen of Hearts.  Needle: Us 6 circular. Patterns are available for purchase at Stash!

This is also a great stash buster for those single skeins of fingering weight yarn you may have stashed away somewhere!  

We also have a few of our favorite color combos in Knerd String and Woderland Yarns for you: 

Botanical Knits 2 Trunk Show

The Botanical Knits 2 trunk show is at Stash, January 4 - 21!

Join us to explore Botanical Knits 2, a book of twelve patterns from California designer Alana Dakos, inspired by the beauty of nature! The garments are at Stash this month for you to view and try on!

Now’s your chance to see these lovely garments and accessories in person, and get help picking yarn before casting-on! We have copies of the book in stock and ready for your project planning 

This trunk show is free and open to all during normal store hours.

The collection includes sweaters and accessories to create an entire lovely wardrobe.

Some of our favorites:

Sprig: We recommend Berroco Vintage or Manos Gloria.  A top down, raglan pullover with striking details. A small sprig of foliage adorns the asymmetrical neckband and sleeve cuffs. Dart-like shaping is added to the bust and hips for a flattering fit.

Ivy Trellis Hat: we recommend Wonderland Yarns Mad Hatter.  Meandering cables and leaves climb up this beret like ivy on a trellis. 

Hanging Leaves Shawl: we recommend The Fibre Co. Meadow.  A lovely, lightweight shawl to wrap around your shoulders. The plain Stockinette stitch body is adorned with an airy scalloped leaf border reminiscent of leaves clinging to branches at the end of the season.

More Great Gift Ideas!

We now have 2+ weeks to get our hand knits and crochet projects finished!  We can do it!  If you need some inspiration, here are a few of my favorite quick knit and crochet projects.  They are all fast projects that are fun to make and wear! 

farmhouse slippers

Farmhouse Slippers, by Andrea Mowry. I'm in love with the Mukluks and these are on the top of my list! They knit up surprisingly fast, which makes them a great last minute gift.  You hold two strands of sport weight yarn which delivers a beautiful marled effect, or you can grab a heavy worsted weight yarn in a natural color for a rustic slipper.  With sizes from toddler to adult, you can have your whole family relaxing in comfort!  Yarn and pattern available at Stash!

nina hat

Nina Hat, This is a basic ribbed hat made interesting by the lovely texture of chunky Manos Franca yarn and the addition of a moss stitch yoke.  It is very simple and quick to knit and uses just one skein, which makes it perfect for beginners and for gifts!  The pattern is free and the yarn is available at Stash!

apple crisp cowl

Apple Crisp Cowl  by designer Little Monkeys Crochet. The Apple Crisp Cowl is the perfect accessory. It can cozy up a white t-shirt and jeans ensemble, and its non-bulky front lets you add it underneath your coat with ease. The pattern is free and yarn is available at Stash!

silver and spice hood

Silver and Spice Hood by designer Salena Baca.  Girls of all ages will be warm for the holidays with this festive hood! Available in sizes toddler to adult.  The chunky yarn crochets up quick, and the simple texture adds a fashionable look that you can enjoy for years to come!  The pattern is free and yarn is available at Stash!

Don't forget about yourself!  Stop by Stash and fill out a "Wish List"  so you can get what you really, really want!   Your friends and family can then bring the list to Stash and we will help them shop for the perfect gift, like that yarn you've been lusting after, a new set of needles, or a blocking kit so all your projects will be perfectly finished.   

gifts for you or your favorite fiber lover!

This Olivia Cowl is AWESOME!  Again, a FREE pattern on Ravelry, from Swan's Island Yarns.  This cowl uses just one skein of Swan's Island Worsted and is the perfect pattern for this yarn.
