From Lancaster Yarn Shop comes a new take on a plain hat!

Rockfall is a companion piece to Upstream, a second experiment in small charts repeated over and over again. Using two contrasting gradient colorways, one neutral and one bright and colorful, the patterns of Rockfall are as as gradual and as sudden as a rock-fall along a river.

Watchword is a wild tessellated pattern, a technical and interesting piece of work. It combines two colorwork techniques, stranded and mosaic knitting, to create a two-motif piece knit in three colors. Pick two colors for an ombre fade in the background, and a third for a foreground box-work pattern that overlies the ombre like iron scrollwork,...

Fault blocks show motion and change in the earth -- block faults show lines of motion along which those changes occur. The ground moves under our feet, slowly - our markers, whether locking-ring or geological-survey, keep track of the motion.

A braided river is one that flows over a relatively flat area, often with a sandy or gravelly bed, whose streams meander and move and shift with the seasons. The islands between the braids, often called braid bars or eyots, may be big or small, verdant or barren, saturated or dry.

Echinus (e-KI-nus) Geyser is the largest acidic geyser in the world, making it a star in an extremely rare class. Its water has a pH of 3.63 and temperatures around 176F/80C. The name comes from the spiny mineral formations around its vent, which were thought by the US Geological Survey party that named it in the 1870s to resemble a sea urchin ...

It’s a fancy little fair isle house for your head!

Asterales Zag is named for the order of flowering plants that includes sunflowers, one of the best-known examples of the appearance of the Fibonacci sequence in nature.
