Knitscene Fall 2010, preview here. This issue sold out quickly, so if you missed it the first time, we’ve ordered in more. Check out local designer Mandy Moore’s beautiful Dorflinger Tee pattern.

Coquille

A scarf for autumn–our Coquille knit in Kauni Effektgarn EV.

Fun pattern, fun yarn. With a Eucalan bath, the Kauni relaxed into beautiful soft ruffles. We had 50 grams (approximately 200 yards) left over, so could have made it bigger. Scarf size is nice, though, and ours is long enough to wrap nicely and stay in place.
