Free Pattern: Holiday Cheer Ornaments

December 14, 2016 Kate Gagnon Osborn
Free Pattern Kelbourne Woolens Holiday Cheer Ornaments

Our daughter, Charlie, is at the age where she’s really starting to “get” holidays. Easter and Christmas are current favorites, although I’m confident she has no idea what Easter is about except piles of chocolate and everything is covered in bunnies (two of her most favorite things ever), and we try and keep Christmas planning and purchasing pretty low key. What we enjoy most is hanging out together, decorating the tree – it is much more fun with a four-year-old as stylist! – baking cookies, and hanging twinkly lights in preparation for the day.

After picking out a tree last weekend, we opened up our box of decorations and I found one of the knit ornaments I made about 10 years ago and gave as small gifts to our extended family. Remembering how fast, fun, and simple they were to make, I quickly set out to make a new set for our tree for Charlie to enjoy.

The end result is a gift to my family, but also a gift to you – a free PDF download with instructions for 3 different ornaments worked up in The Fibre Co. Cumbria Fingering and Canopy Fingering. Each style comes with two alternate options, from stripes, to cables, to embroidery.

Local Yarn Store Day: Adventura Shawl by Laura Nelkin

When we did some rebranding at the end of the year in celebration of our 10th anniversary, it only made sense to honor the milestone with a logo pin. And with the release of Andorra and Scout, we designed pins for those as well!⠀
⠀
We couldn't let our love for swatching go uncelebrated, either, so we decided to wave our swatch flag proudly...with a pin! No one can deny the allure of glitter, so we added some bling to the simple design to really let our love shine.⠀
⠀
All of our pins come on a heavy card and are available in our online shop or at a LYS near you. Enjoy!⠀

The Adventura shawl by @lauranelkin is designed using Kelbourne Woolens Andorra as a pattern exclusive to Local Yarn Shops in celebration of the inaugural Local Yarn Store Day on April 21st. ⠀
⠀
Adventura is a choose your own shawl adventure. All three versions of Adventura start the same with a neutral color knitting up a simple boomerang shape. You then work a few transition garter rows, and it is time to begin your journey. There is a skill level for everyone, from the most basic beginner knitter to a knitter craving more of a challenge.⠀
⠀
Beginning on LYS Day, the pattern will be available exclusively at local yarn shops through the @ravelry in store sales program. (Not currently participating in the program? Visit ravelry.com/wiki/pages/InStoreSales for more info and to sign up!)⠀
