Kryss made this comfy cozy poncho for a special 6 year old. The pattern is by Mac&Me and the yarn is Misti's Chunky Alpaca (the pretty purple crocheted edge is Misti's Chunky Handpaint).
It's so soft and warm… I want one.

Yet another lovely creation by Angela. She knit this scarf with her favorites — Be Sweet's Boucle and Ozark Handspun's wool & mohair mix. Doesn't it just scream autumn?

Isn't Sally's sweater beautiful?
The pattern is Kate Gilbert's Wisteria from Twist Collective. It took 5 skeins of Malabrigo worsted. Our photo shows more shadowing than the actual sweater. (polar morn is the gorgeous color Sally chose) Love it!

This pattern by Blue Sky Alpacas calls for sport weight alpaca doubled. Instead Bree used a single strand of Malabrigo worsted (3 skeins of hollyhock) and it turned out great! We love it.
For just $42 you can purchase the yarn and the pattern, and get started. We have lots of great colors of Malabrigo to choose from.
