cool weather is around the corner

With fall around the corner, it is time to start thinking about holiday gifts. There is always someone on your holiday gift list who hasn't yet received a hand knit scarf (or they have worn it so much they need a new one!) and we have a great one to suggest.

Pictured is a Seed Stitch Scarf knit in Berroco Foliage. This is a great project for even the newest knitter because if you can knit and purl, you can work the seed stitch. Even better is the yarn! The thick and thin texture and subtle self-striping of Foliage does all the "design" work for you. It comes in a wide variety of colors, and it is very affordable!
