New Knitted Cowls!








Dana just finished up knitting this amazing bike cowl prototype. It uses warm wool in cool stripes that coordinate with anything and brighten up the gloomy fall weather here in the Northwest! (Okay, it was pretty sunny the day we took these pictures, but that's unusual for this time of year!) The cowl features a bandana style that is smaller in the back and shaped bigger in the front to fit better while leaning over on your bike, and provides nice wind and cold protection for your front neck and chest. It can be pulled up over your face and easily pulled back down when needed. The wool is warm and breathable, perfect for helping to regulate your body temperature during those chilly downhill coasts or uphill climbs! I love this one and can't wait to see what other color combos she comes up with! Check out the Etsy store for these cowls coming soon, and our current selection of wallets, wrist pouches, and saddle covers!

Knitted Sweater Exchange


Our first-ever project exchange! Why didn't we think of this before? This was such a fun project. It's a simple pattern, fun way to bust some stash yarn, and went so quickly that it was easy to stay motivated. We each started our own sweater's bottom portion and when we reached the top lace yoke, we mailed them to each other to finish! That way we got something we liked, we got a surprise, and we got to use up some yarn on something that wasn't ours!

This is the sweater I finished for Dana, and she will post about mine when she's done, I can't wait to see it!

It was so fun, we will definitely be doing this again!
