A top project picks:
Exploration Station
This design by Stephen West features stripes and brioche and lace for a stunning finished piece. Barry recently finished up this project in Plied Yarns North Ave, and it is stunning! If you don’t have the skills to make this on your own, check out this class with Barry on Wednesday, January 8th. Students should have previous experience with brioche, increasing and decreasing.
Granito
This pullover by Joji Locatelli with pockets is simple but fun to knit and is the perfect project to show off the beautiful marled features of North Ave. I have this one on needles right now and am loving it!
