Inspired by mittens seen in Estonia, these mittens lined with alpaca and wool will keep your hands toasty and warm on the coldest of days. Make them your own by embroidering a design on the mittens before working the lining. When knit in Weekend Wool without decoration, they make a sturdy, everyday mitten. Mountain Mohair makes a slightly dressier mitten.

Maureen fell in love with corrugated ribbing years ago watching a Meg Swanson video on Fair Isle sweaters. She’s used it in many of her own sweaters on the cuffs and hem, but she wanted to give it more attention. So why not put it front and center! We hope you will enjoy knitting it and explore some new color combinations.

The Outer Banks of North Carolina are a magical place; soft sand dunes flow into warm water and gentle ocean breezes cool even the warmest summer day. This light weight cardigan provides the perfect protection against the evening chill when you take one last walk along the water at sunset. This sweater skims along your curves just as the graceful pelicans glide along the curl of a wave. It’s soft woolen fabric will stretch along with you providing a close and flattering fit that never feels bulky.
