We are now opening orders for the third project in the Adventures in Knitting series with local designer Olga Buraya-Kefelian! The fall project is this gorgeous cabled hat designed in Woolfolk Luft. This brand new design will be available first to those who sign up for this club package. Olga will pair this pattern with new skill building videos and hand selected colors of yarn for the project. When you pre-order the season’s kit, you receive access to this pattern before it is launched to the public, access to Olga’s amazing instructional videos and the yarn needed for the project. Oh, and we’ve thrown in a gorgeous cable needle that you will need to complete your project.
