Knitting Kits

NEW PRICING FOR KIT PATTERNS WITHOUT THE YARN I have had many requests for the patterns without the yarn. (We all have huge stashes!) So you will find pricing below for some of the kits as "Pattern only".  If you order a pattern only shipping for 1 or 2 is only $3. More than that goes for the usual $6

THREE IS THE MAGIC NUMBER SHAWL KIT Inspired by the School House Rock song! Choose from nine triangular patterns that can be arranged to make a shawl (9 triangles for a small shawl or 12 for a large shawl), a scarf (6 or 8 triangles), or a stole (12 triangles). The patterns are originals or adaptations mostly of lace grounds, so it could be considered a lesson in lace grounds. Offered in two choices of yarn. The first is a blend of Alpaca and Silk, a 7 oz skein in natural is enough to make a couple of garments. The second is Fine Merino Lace, 100% merino wool made in Italy 2 100 gram skeins in your choice of soft gray, teal, lavendar or white. $55

"Three is a magic number, Yes, it is, It’s a magic number, Somewhere in the ancient mystic trinity, You get three. And that’s a magic number. The past and the present and the future; Faith and hope and charity; The heart and the brain and the body; Give you three. And that’s a magic number.  (From Schoolhouse Rock)

 

SEASCAPE KIT Using the Seascape pattern by Evelyn Clark with an out of production yarn from Jaggerspun. The yarn is 70% superwash and 30% alpaca in a color called "ocean blue". The kit is $25.
LACE SCARF KIT A generous amount of Jaggerspun wool/silk yarn, a reprint of directions for an old lace sampler with full instructions in Lace Shorthand. Use #2 or 3 needles, makes a 14" x 54" scarf. 60 colors, please give two choices. Still my most popular kit-only $20 Also available as a pattern only for $10.
MANY HEARTS KIT Learn to shape lace while making a collection of lace hearts. Kit includes instructions for six designs, each in a different lace technique and with a different construction. But, you get enough red and pink cotton thread to create dozens of hearts! You will need a pair of size 2 needles. This is a fun kit, and one that will teach you a lot. $10
EGGS TO MAKE ANY BUNNY PROUD For ages and ages, in all cultures, springtime has been a time to celebrate new life and eggs have been a part of this celebration. Moonrise offers a kit to make lace covers for eggs. There are three designs, a 50gram ball of crochet cotton, a bunch of plastic eggs and full instructions to make the covers plus a basket to put them in. The kit sells for $12
THE GREAT COSMOS KIT this one is constructed from the center out with a nice wide edging. Done with any of the wonderful colors of wool/silk. That, and the thicker yarn (needle size 5), yields a 50" shawl that starts with a "larger than circular" center, then squares out and finally has rounded corners. When folded it makes a butterfly shape that sits beautifully on your shoulders. You will like this and you will learn a new and wonderful shawl construction. . $50 Also available as a pattern only for $20.
FROST DIAMONDS Have you been looking for a project using the Russian shawl techniques? One that is less daunting than a full-size shawl? This is a large scarf (50" x 14" but plenty of yarn is supplied to make it larger if you like) that uses a variety of stitches and will teach the novice the construction techniques everyone is talking about. It is so much fun to knit you will be sorry to finish it! Yarn is Harmony 70% Alpaca and 20% Silk and 10% Cashmere in soft natural (specially hand dyed colors occasionally available) OR make two color choices from the Zephyr Wool/Silk. $35. Also available as a pattern only for $15.

FLORA'S WRAP 2006 MOONTIDE KNITTING RETREAT KIT  It is a triangular shawl using the "Three Triangles" method of construction and mostly original stitches themed as flowers. The yarn is 5 oz. of Jaggerspun wool/silk in any of their colors (Click Here for colors) and a bound book of instruction. The 3 triangles each with a different design, represent the different "fruits" or achievements of a woman's life and contain symbols of these phases -  The moon, the sky, butterflies, birds, trees, and seed pods  For the adventurous knitter!  The kit is $35. Also available as the pattern book only for $15.
HANDFAST SHAWL This is a large, advanced project using the Russian shawl techniques. It is done in the same wonderful, thin Harmony Alpaca/silk/cashmere blend as the Frost Diamonds. The 6' square shawl could be for a wedding or for a baby Christening or, of course, to wear proudly. There is amble garter st ground to put in names or initials and I give you directions for the carried eyelet to do so. $70 Also available as a pattern only for $25.
