So, that fabulous twisted stitch tunic on the cover of the new Knits is O-Wool Classic Worsted! It’s the perfect choice to set off the stitch detail, and it’s knit in Ash, which is a dark slightly blueish-grey. I might just have to cast on for this tonight. The magazine gives options for customizing it – I think I would make it longer and wear it with leggings and those Frye Harness Boots the model is wearing. Holiday party outfit, anyone?

Ravel it.

Buy the yarn.

I’m honored to bring to your attention this gorgeous pattern in the new Twist Collective Winter 2011 issue. Zinnia, designed by Mary Ann Stephens, uses 1 skein each of O-Wool Classic 2-Ply in Natural 1000 and Sumac 4400. And, as if this design and Twist Collective couldn’t get any better, the photos involve a horse! I want to knit a pair of these mittens and go ride through the woods right now… But instead, I’ll give you a link so that you can treat your hands to these mittens:

No one loves triangular knit neckwear more than yours truly… which is why I’m so excited to share the newest Knitscene project featuring O-Wool! The Oana Shawl, by Kirsten Kapur, uses 5 skeins of O-Wool Classic Worsted shown in 4400 Sumac. I love the copious amounts of fringe, and think it’s super cute worn bandana-style. I may just have to knit one for myself… Check out all of the projects and buy the magazine here!!

The queen of chic, simple style has done it again. Behold the “Selvedge Cardigan” by Amy Christoffers!

With the recently expanded 22-color palette you can make this cardigan all your own. photo copyright Joe Hancock, Interweave Press
