Want to knit along with Cascade Yarns in their newest fall knitalong? Many of you have come to us for yarn for the past several years to participate - not only do we offer EVERY color of Cascade 220 Superwash, but we also ship very fast. And if we don't have the colors/quantities you need, you just email us at [email protected] and we add it to our next order and get it to you in about 10 days. Really, it can be that fast. And that's plenty of time, since the KAL doesn't even start for another three weeks. Want more details?
Well, as I have it right now, this pattern uses the mosaic technique, which is a great way to get the look of fancy colorwork without the complication. Basically, just by slipping different stitches, you get cool designs like you see in patterns like this one. It's my understanding that like their KALs in the past, Cascade will email you once a week with the latest "clue" or part of the pattern, and you can complete each week then as you like, or whenever you like! No stress! I don't have the pattern, This is all handled by Cascade after you sign up here
What's the pattern? Well, as the title says, there are "options." Find the details here and sign up. But basically you can choose a shawl or blanket or scarf size or whatever you choose. The pattern can be adjusted in 24 stitch increments so you can knit a scarf that takes 2 balls (1 each of two contrasting colors), a wrap that takes 8 skeins (4 light and 4 dark), or 18 skeins for the blanket (9 light and 9 dark). US 7 needles.

As you can see, we have A LOT of Cascade 220 Superwash. Every color on a huge, long wall in our shop. It's beautiful. And if we don't have the quantity you need, which is likely because if you need 9, that's a whole bag and someone might have already purchased what we have, just email me (Allison) at [email protected] and i'll order some for you asap. We are also happy to help you come up with a combo that you like. Just email and we'll be your personal shoppers from Indiana. After 18 years, we've gotten pretty darn good at helping from afar, and we like it too!
And if you want to come shop in person at our shop in Fort Wayne, Indiana, please do! Our open days/hours are listed here.
