We’re Dreaming of Fall! The kids are (finally) back at school, and we are PUMPED for cooler weather. There is nothing more exciting than planning a new project, so we took a moment and picked some new(er) pattern releases and paired them with our favorite cool weather yarns.

Color Stories: Delicious
Things often described as delicious: candy, cakes, fresh fruit, the perfume of flowers, the softest yarn. This was my inspiration for June’s color story. I’m so excited about crochet summer, I decided I’d let my mood board decide what color of Road to China Lace I’ll be using for my project! That’s right – pink….

Color Stories: Wind-swept spring
Though we most often associate Spring with fresh green buds on trees, bunnies, tulips, and colored eggs, early Spring is bare, a bit chaotic and beautifully stark. The wind is sharp and howling, birds start to migrate north, storms wash debris to the shores, and it’s often rather chilly and wet outside, but the light is clear…

The cabin where we stay is in the woods overlooking Flanders Bay, and the landscape is a combination of rocky beaches and thick woods. I mainly worked on my Lucinda sweater while there (in the appropriately named Acadia),…

The advent of spring means one thing for me an my family: outside, outside, outside. With our daughter, Charlie, in daycare during the week, we try to pack in as much time on the…
KW Style It: L’Arbre by Cirilia Rose
If you’ve been following along in Instagram, you may have noticed Leah knit along with the Fringe Hatalong #2: L’Arbre by Cirilia Rose in Road to China. Her hat is newly complete (an official post on that soon!), and I though it would be great to showcase it in three unique spring styles. Our office dress-code…
KW Style It: Fable Cardigan
