Two-way Tee |
|
|
|
Some of you may have already seen the
Two-way Tee, a lightweight, shapely Tee with either a scoop neck
(high or low) or V-neck (high or low), designed to be made with both
high and low necklines so you can wear it either way. Sleeves come in
two variations as well--short or very short. The bottom, neckline and
sleeve edges are trimmed in a flattering Welt Rib.
You can knit this up in a variety of yarns, but start with the model
yarn,
Pearls from Cascade, which comes in many colors, both plain
($4.80/ball) and space dyed ($5.70/ball).

Ponchos! |
|
|
|
You can't help but notice the current poncho craze--they are everywhere.
Y2Knit has two new poncho patterns,
Poncho Mia and
Panel Poncho, both designed as part of our new Y2Knit-to-Fit line.
Measure, take gauge, and apply some simple calculations and you can knit
the poncho you want, with the yarn you want, in the size you want. The
Y2Knit-to-Fit pattern walks you through each step.
A third Y2Knit poncho pattern,
Square Cosies, can be knit quickly on larger needles for an open
look for a lightweight poncho.
Short and long, thick and thin, fancy and tailored, there's a poncho
for every style and look. They can be knit in almost any yarn, from
super bulky to ladder ribbons; we've knit up a selection for the shop.

Check out
Snazzy Bag and
Snazzy Hat, two new felted kits. Snazzy Bag is worked from top to
bottom, with the bottom shaped as you go, and knits up quickly. The top
is pleated when the handles are put in, giving the bag a nice shape. The
wide brim on Snazzy Hat is flattering to anyone. Add a fizzy or shiny
novelty for added interest. As with all felting projects, the real fun
is in seeing how it turns out!
Two new kits are designed to make gift giving easier:
Jill and Susan each designed an
Eyeglasses Case and the kit includes enough yarn to make both
versions. Felt the knitted piece and you've got a sturdy and protective
eyeglasses case and a great gift. The
pattern is also available.
Truly Easy Booties and Headband are the perfect quick and easy
shower gifts. A single ball of yarn makes two pairs of booties and a
headband. Pick from two kits:
soft merino or, softer still,
merino/cashmere.

Y2Knit Raises Money for Breast Cancer Awareness
|
|
|
|
Soft Tops are hats to be knit for someone experiencing hair loss as
the result of chemotherapy. The pattern includes two hats. These were
designed by Jill and Susan to be knit with super soft yarns. Soft Tops
is also available as a kit, with pattern and yarn for both versions.
$2.00 from the sale of each pattern or kit will be donated to a
breast cancer awareness organization.
Coordinate a group of knitters for this project and order 10 or more
patterns, and in addition to Y2Knit's contribution of $2.00 per pattern,
we will provide you with a free ball of yarn to make a Soft Top.
For those wanting to make several hats, we'll contribute a free ball
of yarn for every 10 balls purchased. |
