Kirsten Joel peregrine shawl
Worked in our airy wool/alpaca blend, Plover, designer Kirsten Joel presents her Peregrine Shawl. Drawing inspiration from the swift, graceful flight of the peregrine falcon found along the coastal tide marshes of Charleston, the shawl is the perfect piece for cool mornings outdoors, windswept walks, and moments spent close to nature. The lace motif echoes layered feathers in motion, while the shawl's wing-like shaping captures the beauty of the natural world. The shawl begins at a narrow edge and utilizes increases to incorporate the lace pattern as it expands to its full width.

Sarah Pope wildcraft
"This wrap marries brioche stitch and simple lace in a design that came together as I was foraging in the local hedgerows for natural dye materials. The scrim of twiglets became a mesh of simple lace with clusters of bundled stitches, and branching lines of brioche flow through the wrap from one end to the other." - designer, Sarah Pope.

Stone Wool clara hat
This pattern is available for FREE with any purchase of Gulf Coast Native 3-ply (Aran weight) . When we first held a skein of the 3-ply/aran weight version of our Gulf Coast Native , we knew it was absolutely perfect for cables. The yarn's round, plumphand begs for strong dimensional stitches. The Clara Hat showcases a large double cable alternating with a fan favorite, a single column of Honeycomb stitch. With this much going on in the hat proper, it is finished with a nice clean edge--no rib to distract the eye.

Pam Allen aspen
We love Aspen's fitted look, with simple (but striking!) colorwork in its round yoke. The joy in colorwork sweaters is always in choosing whether to go with subtle monochrome, or bold contrast. To add to the interest in the yoke, this pullover is a cool hybrid of bottom-up and top-down knitting: The body is knitted from the bottom up, with stitches cast on provisionally for the sleeves, all the way to the neck, and the sleeves are picked up from the waste yarn and knitted down to the cuffs. This pattern is also available as part of the Plain & Simple collection.

Palm fronds stirring in the breeze. Airy, light Piper makes a deceptively warm, but weightless crescent shawl in laceweight superfine merino/super kid mohair.
