Earlier this year, I joined the Malabrigo x Blue Sky Fibers Knit-Along featuring the Alpine Shawl pattern by Jill Tamminen of Knit Sisu. The KAL officially ran from April 2 through May 5, and it was designed as a gentle, beginner-friendly project to ease into colorwork using mosaic knitting. The pattern was released for free on March 17, and participants received guidance, video support, and community connection throughout the event.

There’s something deeply satisfying about finishing a shawl that’s both rich in texture and story. I recently completed the Lehigh Shawl by Melanie Berg for the Malabrigo Rios knit-along — and this one was a true joy from cast-on to bind-off.

This poncho is perfect for seasonal layering—simple garter stitch construction folds elegantly, creating a flattering drape without fuss. I used Rowan Felted Tweed in Eden, a beautiful shade from the DK-weight tweed range that’s soft yet structured.

Some sock patterns feel like a quick knit. Others feel like an experience. The Gobstopper Socks by Lena Skvagerson are definitely the latter — engaging without being fussy, and playful while still holding onto a timeless, wearable style.
