Knitcircus dyers love coming up with new ways to dye yarn; we figure if one gradient is fun, three in one cake is even better! Use this continuous gradient for a Be Simple shawl like the one shown, or let your inspiration guide you to the project of your dreams. Just knit along and watch the stripes appear. Check out all of the Repeating Gradient choices on the Knitcircus website. All Knitcircus yarns use luxury USA Merino bases and are hand-dyed with love in Wisconsin.

Have you ever had to frog because you forgot a step several rows back? Or lost your spot because you dropped your magnet board or lost track with your highlighter tape? Instead of wrestling with paper, use the knitCompanion app. It keeps you on track so you can knit more and frog less. knitCompanion works withALL your patterns and is available for apple, android and kindle fire devices.

to draft pants. Started at school, finished at home, asked one question and finished drafting the pattern.

sharpened at Williams Cutlery. Crimping sleeve cap with nylon lining didn't work.

Wash fabric before working with it.
