Hey Sailor!

Carolyn does it again with this beautiful top by Andrea Mowry. Look at the coordinating buttons! Made with Knitting for Olive Cotton Merino held double. We heard hitting gauge was tricky, but if anyone could do it, it would be Carolyn.

PRE-ORDER ALERT!
Laine 10th Anniversary Issue

https://www.liftbridgeyarns.com/products/laine-anniversary-issue

Note: The first print run was so popular that Laine sold out! This pre-order should arrive by late August.

The bookazine is a celebration of Laine’s beloved Nordic aesthetics as well as contemporary knitwear design.

What a night! 🧶⚾

Nearly 100 of us gathered at the ballpark to do what we do best: make things together while cheering on the Red Wings. And what a night it was.

We crocheted. We knitted. We obsessed over Bruce the Bat Dog (who may or may not have stolen the show). The Red Wings WON. Fireworks lit up the sky. This is community at its finest.

Huge thank you to the Rochester Red Wings for hosting us and making space for this weird and wonderful group of fiber artists. We can't wait to come back.

And thank you to Chris for capturing all these incredible moments. Thank you to everyone who showed up and made this such a special evening. This is why we do what we do.

Already looking forward to next year! 🧶⚾

Rochester Red Wings
