Smirligans California Poppies Beanie Kits

When I added all the new Smirligans hand-dyed yarns a few weeks ago, I couldn't wait to try out using the California Poppies colorway in a Nancy Bates Knitting California Poppies beanie. I am delighted with the results and created a few kits to share with you!

My Completed Projects

I had a very productive (and also relaxing) birthday glamping trip. I could not put down the Aurea sweater featured in the new Noro Magazine #25. I love love love colorwork! I knit mine using Ito #84 and Haunui Silk #107 rather than Silk Garden. Kureyon and Malvinas also work well for this piece.


I also completed the Evergreen Tonic vest using Desire by Wool Addicts. Desire is a soft and fluffy bulky-weight mohair/wool blended yarn. This is such a comfy accent piece for my wardrobe.
