The Wind-Proof Beanie

Alison came across this Beanpole Beanie pattern in Ravelry and Inge made it during the Holidays. This free pattern is downloadable from Ravelry courtesy of Rachel Weaver. If you cannot download it, email us.

The special feature is, that this beanie is knit in 2 different gauges and sits tight on your head. Good not only for the 'Windy City' but also for our sometimes pretty blustery West Coast. You also learn how to do the cabled rib pattern without a cable needle!

Inge knit this Beanpole Beanie with 2 balls of Rowan Classic Yarns Cashsoft Aran.

Linda's Sweater

... look how proud she is after she finished the sweater for her son. She visited the store to show the beautiful gift off, after several knit-along Saturday sessions here.

It's called "Guernsey Guys" from "Aran & Celtics Knits" (Best of Knitter's Magazine) and was done in Berroco Vintage. Congratulations, Linda!
