Koigu Helena

We love Koigu. Love it. Love the people who dye it, love knitting with it, love the colors, love it. We also love Knitty. It is a fantastic website that published an adorable little girls sweater called Helena which is quickly knit from the top down. It's written for a DK weight yarn so we modified it slightly & used Koigu's KPPPM resulting in a smaller finished garment.

Finished piece:

Pats Finished Sweater!

Pat has made many scarves, gorgeous scarves that she generously gifts her friends with as they are always luxuriously soft and warm. She decided to gift herself with a sweater knit out of Sheep Shop 2 yarn using their pattern, Seamless Chunky Raglan.

The sleeves were knit in the round & completed rather quickly.

Next Pat joined the three pieces & happily knit the yoke as she new the end was near...

A very pleased Pat left Friday with a completed sweater just in time for fall. She modified the neckline to be open & cooler than the turtleneck the pattern had. Fantastic first sweater!

Customer FOs

The summer months have not slowed down our PY knitters! Our customers have been coming in showing us their beautiful FOs.

Yesterday Karen brought in her almost finished and absolutely adorable sweater for her miniature poodle. This is her first project as a new knitter and she did a beautiful job.


The pattern is from Puppyknits by Jill Eaton and she made it using cascade 220 superwash on size 8 needles. Can't wait to meet the puppy wearing her sweater!

Abbe came by with the sweater knit for her son Zack by his Grandmother too! It is the pattern Jersey Shore by Knitting at Knoon worked up in Louet Opal sport weight yarn. She is looking forward to getting two years of wear out of the sweater for her son and is very pleased with the pattern. So are we!

Below is a close up of the stitch pattern....


Nina brought in her original baby blanket design done with Dale of Norway Stork, doubled. A beautiful knitted piece with a crocheted border is sure to be a keepsake for her new born grandson.
We love all our customer knits at Patricia's Yarns! Keep them coming!
