We always get really excited to see the new patterns in Twist Collective. Really, really excited. So excited that Lesley was up at 5 AM checking them out! (We know this, because we all got an e-mail from her. At 5 AM.)
Here are some of our favorites (it was really hard to pick out just a few!) and our picks for yarn to use with them.
