Interweave Knits Weekend Preview!

By Kate Gagnon Osborn on June 20, 2011October 6, 2020

We are delighted to be included in this year’s special issue of Interweave Knits, Knits Weekend! Filled with over 30 projets – from sweaters to accessories and projects for the home, you are bound to find something you absolutely love.

Our contributions to the magazine cover all of your accessory needs – legs, hands, head and neck.

The first project, designed by Courtney, is a pair of legwarmers. Aptly named Gansey Legwarmers and Knit out of Road to China Light, these legwarmers are inspired by traditional Gansey sweaters.
