Designer Kirsten Joel presents the Butterfly Shawl. Just as a real butterfly flutters through the air with its delicate wings, the Butterfly Shawl mirrors this natural beauty. The sweeping crescent shape design, features wide sections of soothing garter stitch, beautifully contrasted by striking rows of eyelet. The soft lace edging, like the fragile tips of a butterfly's wings, gives the shawl a sense of lightness and movement. Knit in superkid mohair / superfine merino blend, Piper , the Butterfly Shawl emodies the perfect blend of beauty and grace.

Tern is perfect for its drape and sheen. We love the way it looks knitted up loosely in garter stitch. The traveling eyelets at the spine of this shawl—moving outward, then snapping back to center—remind us of the stacked rooflines of the tall, tiered buildings of East Asia—hence the name, Pagoda.

Stephanie M's, Duchess is a cuff-down sock worked in Starling. The snowy owl motif that circles the leg was inspired by a snowy owl who used Washington, D.C.'s Union Station as her nightly hunting ground. Stephanie fondly remembers grabbing her binoculars to watch her in action. An unexpected sight in the heart of the city, the owl became the starting point for this design. Worked with a single colorwork chart, a classic heel flap and gusset, and a three-needle bind off at the toe. Pair Duchess with Stephanie's Field Mark fingerless gloves for all your birding adventures.

Italian based designer Mirva Scivola presents Olivo socks. The olive tree is a familiar sight throughout the Mediterranean, easily recognized from afar by its soft gray-green leaves and low, rounded form. Its blossoms are so small and subtle that it took the designer years to notice when the tree was actually in bloom. Fresh olives, when first picked, are intensely bitter and inedible, yet Italians have found countless ways to transform them into something delicious and essential.
