Do you have a basket of small yarn ends and keep wondering what to do with them?
And have you ever wanted to change the colour of a skein or ball of yarn?
Crazy idea. Maybe not.
Read the post on our blog and see how it’s done.
Then take one of our skeins, follow the Basic Bereanie free knitting pattern and turn those leftovers into this slouchy "bereanie"
Beret + beanie = bereanie

That fabric you saw last week …
It’s not a quilt, a carpet, a rag rug, or placemats.
We aren’t felting (although they’d be fun scraps to play with in a nuno felting project) or doing tapestry.
We also aren’t making potholders, although that’s a great idea and maybe we could. 🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And we are keeping you in suspense for a few more days. But take a look at how the process unfolds …

Are you feeling unsure about the @westknits MKAL?
Don’t be! I joined the fun last year and if I could do it you can too.
Slipstravaganza was my first Stephen West project and is one of my favourite shawls to wear.
I used Cowgirlblues Merino Twist in Charcoal, Under Pressure, Guinea Fowl, Celadon and Carrot Juice 🥕
