Featured Project: Juju Pop

This month's project is a unique and beautifully textured shawl. Marisa (marstefmar on Ravelry) knit this Pop Spots shawl from Squishy. The puffs of Boysenberry on a Shiitake background are edged with Au Natural.

Marisa visited Yarnover Truck the first week it opened, and had Pop Spots in mind as she shopped for yarn. The Squishy display caught her eye and she chose her color combination almost instantly. Her husband, who she says has an incredible eye for color, agreed.

She likes our yarns because they have an "almost antiqued feel," which is what she was hoping for in yarns for her Pop Spots. And her next visit to the Truck included a purchase of more Squishy!

Thank you to Marisa for allowing us to share her project!

Wild Iris by Sivia Harding

Are you ready to start a new fall accessory project? Sivia Harding has released a new pattern that exudes a warm elegance perfect for autumn. Wild Iris is a cowl and a pair of cuffs knit from Dreamy.

The cowl is in a Moebius shape and features the addition of beads to add a subtle sparkle to the edging. It can be knit easily with one skein of Dreamy. With less than half of another skein, you can make the coordinating cuffs.

Both the cuffs and the cowl provide the knitter opportunity to use a great set of buttons. One button is used on the cowl as a focal that brings the eye to the spiral of the cowl, and two buttons are used to create a distinct thumb in each cuff.

New Patterns from Faina Goberstein

Stores have packed their shelves with pencils, notebooks, and lunch boxes available for just change, which means that school is almost back in session, and, more importantly, fall is almost here! As soon as I put my sweaters away in the spring I'm looking forward to unpacking them when the cool breezes of fall return. A drop in temperature makes it more comfortable to knit sweaters, too, and Faina Goberstein released two great patterns this summer that would be perfect for your fall knitting list.

East Bay is a wonderfully textured pullover sweater knit from Cricket. The cables and elongated checks keep it interesting for an experienced knitter while making the pattern accessible for a knitter who hasn't made a cabled project yet.

Available in 10 sizes, this gorgeous sweater would make a great holiday gift for someone who appreciates classic style!

The Eilat sweater is also knit from Cricket. A beautiful open-front garment, the sweater features short sleeves and a fun geometric texture.

Faina used a switch in the stitch pattern on the waist to create natural shaping. The sweater may be worn open or closed with a separate fastener.
