Erika Cardigan - purchased the yarn at the Blue Purl during the NJ Wool Walk in 2014. Found the pattern on Ravelry.
Inara Wrap - Pattern is by Ambah O'Brien (from Ravelry), and yarn is by Marianated Yarns. Two gradient kits are required for this pattern. I did use all 6 colors of each kit.
Soulinen Cowl - Pattern is by Ysolda Teague, and yarn is Ancient Arts Fiber Big Squeeze. The pattern is from one of Ysolda's ebooks called Knitworthy 2 (fabulous designs available on Ravelry). The yarn was purchased online from Mont Tricot in Sutton Quebec. I LOVE this yarn, and is not widely available in the U.S.
Zombie Killer Slouch - The hat is by Luciana Young, from the 2017 Pattern a Day Desk Calendar, . The yarn is Malabrigo Mecha. I received a skein for the holidays from my mother-in-law, and was lucky enough to pick up another one from The Yarn Attic (not the same dye lot, but very close).
2 X 2 Cowl - The pattern is from Tincanknits, and found it on Ravelry. Purchased the yarn online from Mont Tricot in Quebec. It's Ancient Arts Fibre Crafts Big Squeeze, which is hard to find in the States (it's a Canadian made yarn).The colorway is Grand Canyon.
Infinate Order Mobius - Pattern is from Feederbrook Farm, as is the yarn. It's Entrophy Worsted, and was purchased at Vogue Knitting Live NY in 2016. The yarn was sold in kit-like form, with 2 skeins: 1 skein was solid in Walnut, and the other was a tweed in Flashpoint.
Traveling Companion Shawl - I saw this yarn at TNNA in 2016, and purchased a bundle of it to try it out. The yarn is from Round Mountain Fibers, whcih specializes in dying yarn according to the colors of birds. This was a Kestral bundle. It came with a variegated yarn, and several matching solids. The pattern was found on Ravelry, and it's by Karen Strauss. It was the pattern Round Mountain used for a sample at TNNA.
Manistique Scarf - This was a kit I purchased at TNNA in 2016 from RYN yarns (now Beet Street yarns). The yarn is from Loom - Risotto (a nubby thick and thin) and Speck. Both are 100% silk. They were both difficult to work with, but I finally got the scarf done!
Reverse Psychology - The yarn is from Wolle's Yarn Creations, and I originally saw it on Etsy. It's a 100% cotton color changing yarn, made up of 4 strands that gradually transition from 1 color to the next. A friend purchased it for me at Maryland Sheep & Wool in 2017, and then I found the pattern on Ravelry. The pattern is by Mindy Ross.
Washington Square Mosaic Cowl - This cowl pattern is from the Malabrigo Book Eleven:Aniversario celebrating their 10th anniversary in business. Yarn is Mecha Mostazo (had left overs from the Zombie Slouch hat, then I had to buy another skein of course), and Volcan. Purchased from The Yarn Attic.
Your Princess is in another Castle (cowl) - I bought some Anzula Burly at TNNA 2017, which is a new bulky yarn from them. Barbara Benson also had a booth at TNNA, highlighting her designs from her new Mosaic & Lace book (which I had purchased earlier in the year). This pattern is in the book, and uses a bulky yarn; so, voila! Decided to make this up. A fun knit!
