At Quince
& Co we are excited to introduce Ibis,
a big sister to our laceweight Piper. A 2-ply bulky weight comprised of the
same Texas-sourced 50% super kid mohair, 50% superfine merino content, Ibis
boasts the same gorgeous halo, sheen, and silky softness, in a luscious heavier
weight that's quick to knit and super warm. Perfect for accessories and
sweaters that are meant to keep the cold at bay.
Gradient Stripes yarns: only at Knitcircus! Short stripes move through a
gradient as you knit your socks, with no color repeats. Each sock set is
already wound into two cakes for your knitting pleasure and dyed to match
exactly down to the stitch. Other knitters will wonder how you got such perfect
stripes with no jog lines and you'll smile knowing that the yarn did all the
work for you. Find it only at www.knitcircus.com.
We will also have Knitcircus Yarns at the February Knitting
Pipeline Retreat.

Needle Notes
Crooked Ewe
Cowl by Paula Emons-Fuessle
Crooked Ewe
is designed to use every bit of a gradient sport weight. It is knitted in the
round from the bottom up. Instructions are charted and written in a percentage
checklist style which makes it easy to track your progress.
You will need
approximately 360 to 400 yds (329 to 366 m) of a sport weight yarn. The
Copper Corgi or KnitCircus
Spectacular or KnitCircus Lavish.
Less yarn will yield a less deep cowl,
still perfectly fine. More yarn will yield a deeper cowl. The pattern is easily
adaptable if you want to make it longer--simply add more stitch pattern
repeats.
The lace/texture
pattern is impressive to look at and simple to work. It is easily memorized so
you can focus on the beautiful color. Size is 14” deep and 34” circumference.
Many thanks so my
test knitters for this project: Jo, Meg, Missy, Amy, and Angie! The pattern was
technically edited by Amy Detjen and Bronwyn Hahn.
