			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://yarnharbor.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cable-socks.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-699" title="Cable Socks" src="http://yarnharbor.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cable-socks.jpg?w=300&#038;h=168" alt="Cable Socks" width="300" height="168" /></a><br />
My very first pair of socks will soon be done! After all these years of knitting, I never had any desire to knit socks. They just seemed like such a long and tedious project. And you have to knit two of them!  But then my sister gave me a pair of hand knit socks for Christmas. And I realized how warm they are. How soft they are. How GOOD they look under boots. Basically, I realized the pay-off for what I thought was monotony is actually quite huge. So I decided to dive in and make some socks.</p>
<p>I am using a free pattern from Ravelry, <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cable-socks-3" target="_blank">Cable Socks</a>, for the basic sock recipe. But I knew I would get bored of so much stockinette and only one cable up the side, so I decided to continue to the ribbing down the ankle and just add some simple cabled columns. I am knitting these with the Rowan Felted Tweed, which has been lovely to work with. So far, they have been surprisingly quick to knit, and not too boring at all. I decided to knit half of the first one and then start the second so I wouldn’t be tempted to just quit after one.</p>
<p>Hopefully these will be finished before the end of this week!</p>

<p>We are proud to present our latest yarn from Cascade: Eco Duo! It&#8217;s an un-plied worsted weight blend of 70% undyed baby alpaca and 30% undyed merino wool. There is a generous 197 yards in a skein, and the recommended needle size is a US #8 for 18 stitches to 4&#8243;. It&#8217;s <em>so </em>gorgeous and <em>so soft</em>: like knitting with a cloud!</p>
<p>This would be a great yarn for a slouchy hat or a luxuriously soft cowl. Check out what others are making out of this beautiful yarn <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/cascade-yarns-eco-duo/patterns" target="_blank">on Ravelry</a>.</p>

<p>Katie likes quasi-military styling. This sweater, the <a href="http://brooklyntweed.net/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=47" target="_blank">Levenwick</a>, is a worsted weight reverse stockinette cardigan with an asymmetrical  lace closure. Even though it is lace, it looks a little militaristic, especially in the army green heather.  She chose to do it in Cascade 220.</p>
<p>Like most of Katie&#8217;s large projects, it is taking her forever, but it is going to be fabulous when it is done. She is almost done with the sleeves, and then just has the front bands and pockets left. You can follow her progress on <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/KatieChameleon/levenwick" target="_blank">her Ravelry project page</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>October is here. I am not sure how that happened, but here it is. To celebrate, our October Cowl of the Month is a very pretty, soft, cabled wrapped cowl with buttons from Blue Sky Alpaca.</p>
<div id="attachment_626" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://yarnharbor.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/p3210237_edited.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-626 " title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://yarnharbor.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/p3210237_edited.jpg?w=300&#038;h=168" alt="" width="300" height="168" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Blue Sky Alpaca&#039;s Cabled Cowl</p></div>
<p>Keep yourself warm and cosy while the weather turns.</p>
<p>We have a few other new ways to keep warm as well. The first up is Ella Rae&#8217;s Mega, a slightly thin and thick super bulky in a range of nice solid shades.  137 yds =250g. Next is a bulky from the Queensland Collection called Mist, a lovely soft thin/thick in a surprising and lovely mix of colors. 54 yds to 50 g. Ella Rae has also given us their lovely lace-style merino in a worsted weight. It has great colors and a great springy feel. 218 yds to 100 g. The last one is not so warm, but does win in the mohair/luxury department. Louisa Harding&#8217;s Simonetta, a mohair/nylon with an occasional shot of gold metallic.   264 yds to 50g. I am intrigued to see how it knits up.</p>
