Introducing: Metalico Cowl Knitting Pattern

Hello, pretty yarn! I received a hank of Metalico by Blue Sky Alpacas during our Christmas yarn swap at my knitting group. I hadn't seen the yarn before and I fell in love! Metalico is a blend of baby alpaca and raw silk. The yarn is shiny and luxurious and I wanted to make something I'd wear a lot. So meet the Metalico Cowl! This cowl is knitted using just one skein of this yarn and it's the perfect size.

There's A Chill in De Aire

This blanket is one of my recent finished knitted items, or FO for knitters in the know. I made this big cozy blanket for my sister-in-law in Boston out of Plymouth De Aire merino wool yarn. De Aire is a super chunky yarn that is constructed out of a knitted link and it holds stitch patterns beautifully. I used color 404 called New England Nights, how great is that? I knit this blanket on size US 19 needles and I loved every minute of it. I hope she loves it, too!
