ChrisJ said~Until now it has always been my handknit socks. I just finished the Boneyard shawl in your 6 ply cashmere and that is now my new favorite. I am actually wishing for cooler weather so that I can wear it all the time.

Jana can’t imagine never having knit~Mine would have to be the Koolhaas hat. I can’t even count how many I have made. I think everyone should have one!

And, because I felt like it, I drew an extra name~

Julie says ~ I looked in the cold weather closet, and I have to say — scarves are my go-to item. I have a TON of them from my years of knitting, and people also give me scarves because they know I appreciate pretty knits.

So ladies – if you could please leave me a message with your email so that I can get your mailing information I’ll be sure to get your prize mailed to you.

Thank for playing along!

I’m still taking entries for the latest contest through tomorrow, Monday, November 9th at Noon Eastern – then the winners will be announced. It’s such a kick to read what you all can’t/won’t leave home without. There are some great pattern recommendations – highly recommend you read through the entries, you’ll be glad you did!

Retro Mint – 50.50 Silk Merino Aran

Wine Tastings – 80.20 Merino Nylon

Thoughts of Blue – 8ply Cashmere

Moss Landing – 100% Merino Superwash Worsted

All of the above and then some…. in the shop tonight….. 8:00 p.m. Eastern.

I spy a hand-knit in the wild!

Test knit by JenniferB.

Had a hayride last weekend and one particular out-of-towner forgot her mittens. A quick trip to the studio ensued to see what sort of wool wear I might have on hand – these fit the bill perfectly.

Soon to be a knitted rectangle, as opposed to a box. Do have to say though, even though the first Forever Tweed was not the most flattering knit, I’ve worn it quit a bit and will continue to do so. It’s just so cozy and it actually is quite cute with a button down and jeans. Did I mention cozy? So you can imagine how excited I am to finish the smaller, more rectangular version.

This brings me to a question: What are your favorite, go-to handknits? The ones you can’t leave home without? The ones you knit over and over again because they are loved, well worn, cute, kicky, versatile, cozy….and, well, just the perfect knit.

Tell me. I’ll be taking entries all through this week and drawing two winners from the entries on Monday, November 9th. I’ll choose two winners who will each receive a skein of Plucky Yarn!

Need a cashmere (or insert fiber of choice) fix?

There’s going to be a sneak-up throughout the afternoon tomorrow, Thursday, November 5th! It’s going to be stuffed full of goodies. Cashmere. Merino. Silk. Oh My!

The next scheduled update will be Sunday evening, November 8th at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. So, if you’re looking for a cashmere fix – here’s your chance.

Also, If you haven’t done so already, won’t you join us over in the Plucky Knitter Group on Ravelry? There’s always something fun going on. Pattern suggestions, knit-a-long’s (no matter which way I spell that it always look funny to me), knitting advice, book suggestions, recipes and contests.
