Chepachet is the first pattern from my ebook, Knit Fresh Rhode Island. There will be a total of 12 patterns in all, 3 of which will only be available as part of the ebook. Patterns will be released monthly or thereabouts :).
The idea for this ebook came to me after spending a good amount of time visiting various sheep and wool fairs in Rhode Island and Massachusetts and reading more about smaller yarn producers.
This project is my way of combining my love of Rhode Island with my love of yarn! All of the patterns will use yarns that are made in Rhode Island.
Projects will include hats, mittens, scarves, and shawls. All are designed to use one or two skeins and are a great way to try out some unique yarns and support small businesses.
When you subscribe to the ebook, you will receive periodic notices when a new pattern is ready.

The yarn used for Chepachet is from Maybe Tomorrow Farm in Chepachet, RI. It is a heavy worsted blend of Colored Border Leicester and Corriedale Cross. It is springy and has great stitch definition. And did I mention warm? For more info about them and all the great things they do visit their web site:
