Today, the Totem Scarf in Jubilation Kettle Dye Worsted.
I love the way the variable length bands of daisy stitch are broken up by rows of garter to keep things interesting. It’s a good technique for helping make sure the pattern isn’t overwhelmed by variegated Jubilation Kettle Dye (shown here in color 101 Rejoice). Jubilation is a pretty yarn, and it works in harmony with the pattern here.
Happy knitting!

We’ve got a treat today! The Heavenly Henley by Emma Welford.
This is a great combination of solid Merino XF, a soft extra-fine merino, and Jubilation Kettle-Dye, also extra-fine merino but single-ply in a riot of bright colors. It’s a great way to use variegated yarn as a bold accent.
And speaking of accents, check out the back! I love this little detail. You could choose to include or omit it, depending on your taste.
Emma is a thoughtful designer, in that she considers the impact of the final piece as well as the process of knitting. If you haven’t seen her Convertible Cowl from our Poetry at Home e-book, take a gander.
This has been a popular garment because it’s so versatile. Like the Heavenly Henley, it’s a great use of multicolor yarn, in this case Poems 100% wool. We’re so happy to have the chance to work with Emma again.
Happy knitting, everyone!

Today, it’s the Jest Scarf in Jubilation Kettle Dye and Deluxe Worsted Superwash.
Amy Gunderson brings us this whimsical design. Colorful petals in Jubilation Kettle Dye Worsted are set against a neutral background of Deluxe Worsted Superwash. There’s no purling in this pattern, just straight knitting back and forth with the curves created by short rows.
I love this unique design. I can envision this in Jubilation color 108, yellows and reds and oranges, to create a cascade of falling leaves. Regardless of color choice, this is definitely a design that tells people you’ve got a light spirit. Surrounded by petals of yarn, how could you not smile?
