| New Toshstrology, Peep Craftvent & Seas This KAL Gemini Season Has Arrived! | | |
With summer quickly approaching, the days are getting longer and there is more downtime to relax and do what we do best: sit and knit! Our Beans are ramping up our summer-making queues with a bunch of pretty projects we've had our eyes on for a while or have wanted to challenge ourselves with!
|
Each year, Marie Greene of Olive Knits hosts a 4 Day KAL all about challenging your ideas on finishing a large project (like a sweater), with a community of knitters to help encourage you! This year, Marie stuns us with the Sailaway Cardigan! This top-down, seamless cardigan with a colorwork yoke is ready to be packed into your duffle for your next beach town getaway!
Team Beans has curated three fabulous color combos of Madelinetosh Wool + Cotton to get you ready to set sail on this cardigan! Wool + Cotton is made from a blend of 50% Superwash Merino and 50% Pima Cotton. This ultra-soft and breathable DK-weight base makes this cardigan ideal for evening strolls on the beach to watch the sunset this summer!

|
While it starts as a four-day challenge, the goal is to reach the finish line! This KAL runs through the month of July so you can either speed knit or take your time at a pace that feels comfortable for you! Join your fellow knitters on July 1st with a Cast-On Party live stream followed by check-ins each week for support and motivation!

It's Gemini Season!
This month's Toshstrology has us seeing double! Symbolized by celestial twins, Geminis are always juggling a variety of passions and hobbies. Those born under this air sign are known for being charismatic and driven social butterflies.

June marks the halfway point of the year and we might be a little excited to start planning for the holiday season already! While the warm weather has been nice, our minds can't help wandering to curling up on the couch with a cup of cocoa, watching snow fall outside, and working our latest project!
Well, the holidays have come early this year - Craftvent pre-orders are here! Get your hooks and needles ready to create the most adorable Tiny Trimmings ornaments designed by Amy Gunderson for your mantle or tree this year!

Project On Our Needles!
Dawn's Diagonal Baby Blanket
While we love knitting projects for ourselves, sometimes the best projects we make are the ones we give to others! How adorable is this baby blanket our Bean, Dawn, made for her grand-nephew?! This darling diagonal green blanket was knit out of the soft and squishy strands of Cascade 128 Superwash Yarn. We love knitting this yarn for baby projects because they end up so cuddly and warm plus it is machine washable! Way to go Dawn! We know your grand-nephew will love it!
