Welcome stashbusters!

Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took,

When Winter Winds Blow is a cozy cowl knit with two 400-430 yard skeins of your most luxurious fingering/sock weight yarns. This pattern really works for variegated yarns. You could also use the colors of your favorite sports team for a fun way to show off team pride!

Do you dislike purl stitches? But don’t want to be bored knitting garter forever and ever?

Twyst Shawlette is your go-to pattern for one skein (200 yards or more per 100g skein) of worsted/DK/sport/fingering weight yarn.

When I saw Malabrigo’s Caracol, I knew I had to create a one-skein pattern that would show off the beautiful stained glass look of this super bulky thick-and-thin yarn.

Do you have a growing stash of variegated yarns waiting to be transformed into something special?

This is for a big cowl that can be worn several different ways and keep you warm with the help of bison down and merino wool. Knit Collage’s Daisy Chain adds some whimsy and interesting texture. Feel free to substitute yarns, change size of the cowl, number of stitches or rows, or knit all the rows instead of purling, if you wish.
