Patterns, patterns, patterns!

Here at One Planet Yarn and Fiber, we love patterns to showcase our gorgeous yarns and we especially love being able to provide you with beautiful, unique, and fashion forward patterns created exclusively for us by our fabulous design team. We are once again thrilled to announce the release of our newest pattern, the Arrowhead Lace Cardigan designed by the very talented Debbie O'Neill. Debbie has been knitting for nearly 20 years and has been teaching knitting and designing knit wear for the past 10 years. Her designs have appeared in Interweave Knits, Knit Simple, the Ethnic Knits series by Donna Druchunas and various House of White Birches books. She also has a line of self published patterns and works with a variety of yarn companies and small retailers. When she is not knitting, designing, or working her day job, Debbie spins, weaves, quilts, sews garments, does needlework, and spends as much time as possible with her family. While Debbie doesn’t have a blog, you can find her on ravelry.com.

The Arrowhead Lace Cardigan is a surprisingly straightforward knit with elegant results. The body is lacy, while the sleeves are solid with a lacy cuff lending a bell effect. Dress it up with a skirt or wear it with your favorite jeans. The pattern is shown here in lovely Lanas Puras Melosa, fingering weight yarn, in the Fern Green colorway. The pattern is sized all the way from women's x-small through 3x. A size small uses only 3 skeins of Lanas Puras Melosa!

The pattern is available as part of a yarn kit or as a single pattern download. It would be a wonderful addition to your wardrobe or would make a special holiday gift for a favorite friend or family member.
Another new arrival in our store is the brand new! Rebecca Magazine. Rebecca knitting pattern magazines from Germany are filled with gorgeous fashion-forward knitting patterns.. This new edition has 41 incredible fall designs to fit bust sizes 30-42". Patterns include accessories, sweaters and adorable dresses! Be sure to pick one up before they sell out!

Keep any eye or two on this space for more patterns and special treats to come!

Elijah is Here!

We are so happy to announce the release of yet another sweater pattern in Lanas Puras Melosa, this time an adorable pullover for your favorite baby! Elijah was designed by Heather Davis. Heather has been knitting since childhood and more recently began designing and blogging from her base in North Carolina. She works as a project coordinator for public health research in DR Congo and enjoys dreaming up new garments in her spare time. On her layovers, she checks out the local knitting goods, and can tell you from experience which airlines and airports won't let you through with needles.

Elijah is a beginner/intermediate pattern and is sized all the way from 3 months-18 months. It is so warm, soft and cozy when knit up in Lanas Puras Melosa worsted weight yarn and fits easily over baby's head. It is darling for either a boy or a girl and is shown in the picture below in two of our favorite Lanas Puras Melosa colorways, Cornflower for boys and Orchid for girls. Of course, this sweater would be sweet knit up in many of our other Lanas Puras Melosa colorways as well.

Elijah is knit in one piece and uses only 2 skeins of Lanas Puras Melosa, worsted weight yarn. It would make a wonderful gift for that special baby boy or girl in your life.

A Lot of Yarn - Fleece Artist and More

We are putting away tons (literally) of yarn this week! We got a lot of new Fleece Artist and Hand Maiden yarns in many colors, the Jane Origami Sweater, Penelope skirt in long and short, the Imogen Sweater which is absolutely incredible, a new sock kit called Nova Socks and also a new pattern for the Sea Wool Yarn......called the Sea Wool Vest.

I made this montage of all the skeins..... One of my favorite things is opening the boxes and taking out all the yarn and photographing it! And now with our new wonderful photo studio, the photos are really becoming better and better..... I hope you enjoy this photo mosaic and that you take a look at all the new Fleece Artist / Hand Maiden Items. There are even more on the way!
