We`re knee deep in the DMV`s transitional weather season so we`re rounding up some of our favorite patterns in one of our favorite season transitioning yarns: Noro Tensan!

Swipe to see what we`re making!

Once upon a time in the early aughts (or naughties if you prefer), we stitchers were experiencing community on the internet for the first time. Ravelry was in beta mode, the Yarn Harlot had us all captivated with her every post, Franklin was publishing The Panopticon, and we were all stitching lace. Lace accessories were a must-have for every stitcher, appearing in our socks, skinny scarves, and classic triangle shawls.

We held yarn double. We copied tiny, barely legible charts out of magazines so we could enlarge them to a reasonable size. We beaded things. There was no pattern too frilly; there was no accessory too twee. It was a time of whimsy.

And so, we find ourselves looking through the Spring 2026 trends and realizing that’s exactly what the world needs right now: a little bit of nostalgia, a lot of whimsy, and some lace. In that spirit, we`ve rounded up some of our favorite patterns for our Nostalgia SAL!

Have you checked out our class calendar recently? We`re tackling fixing mistakes and so much more! This week we`ve also got lots of opportunities for individualized help in an independent study, or join the stitching club with Intro to knit!
