It’s always fun to see our Loopy Ewe Solid Series in print, and we have two more to share with you. In the newest Interweave Crochet Accessories magazine that just came out, our yarn was featured in the Pleiades Shawl, a fun star-inspired shawl that drapes around your shoulders. This one was done in Eggplant, Barn Red and Smoke. (Photos by Harper Point Photography.)
I received a copy of Carol Sulcoski’s new Sock Yarn Studio book in the mail, and it’s a must-have. So many great designs from some of your favorite top designers, including Wendy Johnson, Veronik Avery, Franklin Habit, Hunter Hammersen, and more. It starts out with great sock-knitting information from Carol (avoiding pooling, repeats with self-patterning and multicolor yarn, using sock patterns for other projects, etc.). Then you get to the gorgeous patterns. You’ll find cowls, gloves, scarves, hats, shawls, sweaters, an adorable baby cardigan, and more. Of course my favorite pattern in the book is the one that Wendy designed with our Solid Series, called Kitteh Mittens. She used 1 skein each of Coffee and Cerulean.
Would you like to make a pair? Leave a comment below and we’ll use the random number generator to pick someone to win the book and your choice of 2 skeins of The Loopy Ewe Solid Series. (Hey – wouldn’t those mittens be cute in orange and black for Halloween trick-or-treating? Next year.)
We also have a winner from last week’s Halloween day blog contest. Congratulations to Linda in Illinois, whose favorite go-to food or drink on cold days is hot mulled apple cider. Yum!
Speaking of our Loopy Ewe Solid Series, the winder has been going nonstop today, working on more Loopy Cake sets for you. (More Steampunk, but also more in the series. I told you we were having too much fun coming up with themes!)

I saw those mittens in the book and almost bought it just for that pattern! I may yet. And come tho think I didn’t even realize it was your yarn!! Shame on me. 🙂
What fun! I’d love a copy of the book, and yarn to make those mittens. 🙂
I’d love to knit a pair! I keep telling myself I’m going to dive into colorwork, and then keep putting it off.
I love those mittens SO much! My daughter, who still likes to pretend she’s a cat even though she’s 11, would wear the heck out of them!
Thank you for the giveaway!
I think halloween kitties would be great. However, I, too, have an elephant loving granddaughter. Maybe I will need to make more than one pair…
Every Cat lover I know in the north is going to get Kitteh mittens!!!
I know a couple of cat lovers that I could knit those mittens for, including myself!
Cute Kitteh Mittens!!! I’m going to have to order that book!
I hope to see mittens in my future. The color choices by Loopy are endless….
I’d love a chance to win the loopy solid and the new book Sheri – thanks for the giveway opp. Sounds like a great book. Thanks Melody
Those Kitteh mittens are adorable! My grown daughter would love them! Wendy at her best, again!
Sounds like a nice book.
Cute kitties!
Cool! Thanks for letting us know about the book! And the mittens!!!
Those are great – I’d love to make a pair!
I would love to make those mittens in pink and gray because my cats are both gray, and my daughter’s favorite color is pink!
Those are cute! I have use that yarn, and it was nice to work with!
I haven’t made mittens in awhile, and haven’t attempted colorwork mittens yet, I would so love the book and the yarn. Thank you, Sheri. I never win, but I keep trying.
Those are some cute kitteh’s!!!
I would LOVE to win the book and make me some cute mittens! 😉
Mittens covered in Wendy’s Lucy! What a great design. And the book would be perfect for shewhobuystoomuchsockyarnandcan’tknitenoughsocks……
The gloves are adorable and would be just the thing to wear while giving love and cuddles to my son’s cat, who is officially Alessandra but known by all as Kitteh.
If I don’t win the book (and, really, what are the chances?), I definitely will buy it! Thanks for letting us know about it, Sheri!
I would loveto make those mittens!
Those are sure some “cutey cute” mittens. LOVE em
I would love that book and yarn! Sign me up. 🙂
This is the time of the year for mittens, would love to knit them
I would love to make some Kitteh mittens! After doing a colorwork piece my other hand always feels lonely when I go back to using single colors. I’m in need of a cute pattern to keep both of my hands busy!
That’s a lovely gift! Thanks. I just checked that book out from the library yesterday and am excited to look through it!
As a true crazy cat lady, I need these!
LOVE the mittens
Love them!
Those are cute mittens, and my daughter has begging me to knit her a pair of mittens for winter. 🙂
Love the mittens and I am always looking for ways to play with sock yarn.
Awesome mittens!!
It is finally cold enough here in Sacramento to wear a jacket in the morning on my way to work and and the evening on the way home, so mittens would really be a practical fashion statement! Hello sister knitters back East, my prayers are for you and everyone else for a speedy recovery from Sandy and the Nor’Easter. Maureen
What an impressive line-up of designers!
That book sounds wonderful. I haven’t seen a copy yet, but I always watch for everything by Carol Sulcoski. I’d make the mittens in a deep green and a sage green to go with all my winter parkas and heavy sweaters.
The book looks great! Thanks for the giveaway!
I have mitten fever this winter and that book looks great!
the mittens are adorable! I saw a review of the book yesterday–looks fantastic!
Colorwork is the next frontier for me to explore, and stranded Kitteh Mittens would be just the thing!
It would be awesome to win the pattern and yarn! Love them!
I’ve never done colorwork, have tried, but have trouble with tension – so this would be a new challenge, or, more a great reason to overcome a past obstacle!
I would be so happy to make a pair of Wendy’s mittens. Her designs are just generally wondeful anyway and these mittens are adorable! Not to mention the Loopy yarns! Ohhhhh – pick me, pick me!! LOL
I love sock yarn!
I love TLE solid series and always love new knitting books 🙂
i love knitting mittens! and i love those kitty mittens!
Kitteh Mittens! So much fun! And my kittehs would LOVE to snuggle them…….
Those are really cute! off to check out the book now!
OMG super cute – I love love love the Kitteh Mittens from Wendy! I do have a bit of a stash problem with sock yarn as I have yet to knit even a single sock… 🙂 Perhaps this book could help with that. . . Come on random number generator!
