The colors are amazing. There's a new kid's sweater design by The Purl's own Designer,Jane Robbins. It has pale lavenders and cloudy blues with mint green,a v-necked pullover,easy to knit and a joy to behold in all it's angora softness. Jane has also done a way cool,but yes,hot angora sock pattern.

We still have free patterns of this ridged hat. We don't however have anymore Magic Yarn. It's not around anymore nowhere no how. Well, if you shake down Rosa you might get one for a high price.
I know Gma Laurie I haven't put anything new up for awhile. Here's Lisa Jorgenson's latest project. She is writing the original pattern for all to buy at The Purl District. It is knit from Crystal Palace Mochi Plus worsted in what I call "Eugene" colorway. It's really called radiant rainbow. Very cool earflap hat.Lisa has fitted it to the face and forehead very well so it envelops your face. It has ridges at the top an I-cord from the crown with optional tassels or Pom Pom. Come in and check it out.
