Field Mark is a pair of fingerless mitts designed by Stephanie M., knit in Starling. A field mark is a distinctive feature used to identify a bird, while binoculars help to see those details. A band of colorwork binoculars wraps the hand, paying tribute to the tool that brings birds, landscapes, and fleeting moments into focus. Worked with a ribbed cuff, thumb gusset, and a single colorwork chart, the open hand allows for easy handling of binoculars (or your WIP) while exploring outdoors. Pair these with Stephanie's snowy owl Duchess socks for all your birding adventures.

Inspired by a truer Mainer, one who once hauled lobsters from the cold Atlantic and now wears the textured beard of a lifelong fisherman, the Johnny pullover is a tribute to the coastal working spirit. Designed by Sandi Rosner, this classic fisherman’s sweater is rich with traditional texture: moss stitch, honeycomb, horseshoe, and ladder cables intertwine like ropes on a well-used dock. Knit in Hawk , our alpaca–merino tweed, the pullover body is worked in the round to the armholes, then divided for front and back and seamed at the shoulders.

This lovely hat and mitts set, is knit in three colors for a variety of combinations to suit any taste. Originally designed in Owl , our delightfully squishy wool/alpaca blend yarn, we think Albizia would be equally stunning in three shades of our worsted weight wool yarn, Lark ! Choose three variations of the same tone for a modern ombré effect, or stick with undyed neutrals, or a few pops of color. Though the pattern appears complex, you’re never holding more than two colors at a time, making this an engaging, meditative knit that results in a bright and sophisticated finish.
