Feeling stabby? Or maybe like you could dish out some mild abuse against wool?

Two fantastic workshops coming up in November will give you a creative (and safe) outlet for that pent-up energy and you’ll end up with some beautiful decor for the holiday season.

Needle Felted Gnomes with Laura meets on Saturday, November 21 from 9 - 12:30; the cost is $75 and includes all the supplies.

Fun with Mosaic: Fizzy Drinks Coasters with Amy Snell meets on Monday, November 30 from 5-8 pm; cost is $85.

We’re happy to keep riding the skinny shawl train, and crocheters are welcome aboard 🧶

Weekend Waffle scarf by Brianna Mason comes in three sizes, and Margaret made our small sample with 2 skeins of Malabrigo Rios. So cozy and moody in deep purple, it’s perfect for these chilly evenings of fall.

Pick up your knitting needles, tuck a crochet hook in your bag, and let's make something beautiful together!

You can find all the schedule info on the Classes page of our website, and many of the classes repeat so if this week doesn't work, there will likely be another class coming up soon that does.

In today’s episode of Will This Block Out? I give you my Scallopini in progress. I’ve worked the crochet edge twice, the second time more loosely than the first, and I think I might try again, adding one or two stitches at the top of each scallop so that it’s less likely to curl.

Or will this block out? Let me know what you think 😉

Scallopini by Pam Powers, knit in Ikigai Chibi Paka Chunky.

This sweet girl sometimes joins our Friday knit-along to make sure her person stays well. And just like the rest of us, she loves watching the world go by our window.

My favorite time of year is NOW, when our coziest sweater yarns are filling up the shelves 🍂

More colors of Lamana Como, Malabrigo Sock and Blue Sky Woolstok are in-store and online for your next project 🎉

10/17/2026

Two very different looks, one scrumptious yarn: LAMANA Como is simple and luxurious, but not basic. The superfine merino is so soft you'll think there has to be cashmere blended in!

As for the cardigans, Margaret chose Marigold by Beatrix Kovacs because "I really enjoy Beatrix Kovacs’ attention to detail in her patterns. Details like neckline shape, edge finishing, and overall silhouette made this pattern go at the top of my queue even before the testing phase was done."

Lisa's pick is Paul Cardigan by Moreca Knit: "The loose relaxed fit with the neat and polished button band is what attracted me to this oversized cardigan! I’ve had my eye on Como all summer long every time I go into work, so I can't wait to finish my other projects and start this one."

More colors of Como are due to arrive on Tuesday - which cardigan would you cast on first?

10/16/2026

This is a fun one for those who love unusual colorwork:

Gabrielle's pick is Hesper by Amy Christoffers, a quilt-inspired top-down fi*****ng weight cardigan - so easy to wear as a light and bright layer over tees or dresses. The colorwork yoke is worked with slip-stitches, and is the perfect way to show off the unfolding colors of Spincycle Dyed in the Wool. For your main color, try Miss Babs Yummy 2ply or Biches & Bûches Petit Lambswool.

This little gem of a sweater deserves a place in your handmade wardrobe!

Our team has opinions on cardigans... I always pay attention to what Debbie has in her queue, because her taste is impeccable and she always pairs yarn to pattern beautifully.

Debbie's pick is Betula by Jacqueline Dillen, a gorgeous cardigan in worsted weight: "I wanted to add a textured cardigan with interesting details to my wardrobe. Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok will give it the warm soft rustic look that I’m going for."

We'll be following her progress this fall!

10/13/2026

Fall is in the air and I’ve got cardigans on my mind… Maggie by Petiteknit is at the top of my list for the simple silhouette and thoughtful shoulder shaping.

Which yarn? It’s a three-way competition between Rowan Felted Tweed, ITO Rakuda and LAMANA Como - any of these would be lovely to work with. I’m leaning toward Como since I haven’t made a sweater with it yet, and we have more colors arriving soon.

Are you planning a cardigan this fall? Coming up: more cardigan pattern/yarn pairings from the Uncommon Threads team 😍
