Can you believe there is only two weeks of prep time before Christmas? Me either! Still time to get some gifts done. Pick small things or really, really fat yarn. Here are some suggestions.
Lattice Brioche Scarf by Purl Soho

Spuntaneous by Cascade ↑ is new in the store. Super Bulky, 100% extra fine merino, 109 yards. So soft!

Knitted Friends by Suzy Wool

lalylala 4Seasons IV Winter by Lydia Tresselt

Slippies by Jessica Owen Day
Knit with super bulky yarn and 9mm needles
60-90 yards needed
To fit: adult – custom length/one width fits most
Knit in linen stitch and really fat yarn these slippers should be done in no time and will be extra thick and cushy.
Conversationalist by The Plucky Knitter
Knit with worsted weight yarn like Lichen and Lace Worsted and 3.75-4mm needles
230 yards (210 m) needed
pattern is one size (adult) but says it is easily adjustable.
The key to making this simple hat a real show stopper is to use really nice yarn. A pretty hand dyed merino like Lichen and Lace Worsted will give you a similar effect to the hats pictured here.
Craftily yours

Hi
I love your knitted slippies.
Do you carry the yarn for these?
Thank you
Hi Tammy,
The slippers are knit with super bulky merino which is hand dyed. We have some Malabrigo Rasta and some Riverside Studio Super Bulky that would do the trick but we are running low on colours.
