Yarned by You: Yearning for Spring

It is pouring freezing rain here in Massachusetts. It is absolutely horrid out. In miserable weather like this there is nothing better to do than to snuggle up with some warm wool and wait for Spring to start. So, shall we?

ShayneDKnits held Herriot double to make this Jumper with Hood. She looks absolutely adorable in it!

This lovely sweater was made by dkmerola knit Desire using Willa in Aquarium. This color makes me long for Spring!

I know I’ve featured the Featherweight Cardigan before, but I just can’t get enough of it in Findley! HeatherBrum knit this one in Crocodile.

This Hilton Field Cowl was knit by AnxiousKnitter by using three different shades of Sabine. I love how it’s reversible!

The many undyed shades of Herriot are perfect colorwork like this Vera Marguerite Tam as designed by Pam Wynne for the Fall 2012 yarn line. knittingceleste did a wonderful job knitting this one. She’s making the matching cowl!

This Big Tile Pullover was knit by tentenknits using Yearling. I love the pop of color in the yoke (and the hint of baby bump in this picture!)

Yarned by You: Willa Gallery

This week I’d like to take a look at what you’ve made with Willa. Willa is a 60% Merino, 40% Super Fine Kid Mohair blend in a bulky weight. It is smooth, delectably soft, and has a gorgeous sheen. It comes in a center pull ball of 153 yards.

As per last week, all names are Ravelry names and all photos link back to the project page.

First up is annanlove19′s Pinch Hat (3 Versions) knit in Aberdeen.

This is a cute, fast knit and isn’t intended for bulky yarn, but annanlove19 adjusted her needle size to make it work.

This scarf knit in a diagonal rib pattern by Ciarrai for her aunt in colorway Concord.

I love how the stitch pattern shows off the yarn’s depth. Ciarrai writes a blog, located here.

Fehl made this lovely Keyhole Scarf (designed by Tanis Gray specifically for JMF’s Fall/Winter 2011 pattern Willa pattern line).

The lovely color, Aquarium, would add a perfect pop of color to my winter wardrobe!

webbcutey  bought the yarn for herself as a birthday present. I don’t know about you, but this is the kind of birthday present I like!

Scarf-Cowl “Double Jeu” knit in Pomegranate looks very cozy.

maragoild51 named her project “Lettuce Wrap,” which cracks me up! I am betting that this a warm and cozy shawl!

The pattern is called Murcia. I love the mostly solid pattern (keeps my shoulders warm) and the touch of lace at the bottom (so feminine and would keep my interest at the rows got longer).

What could be more cheerful than an orange elephant? A pink elephant! This is actually knit in Pomegranate and is more pink than the color shows. MellowDi certainly knows how to make a snuggly stuffie!

He could sit on my desk any day!

As winter comes on and it gets colder and sniffles abound, there is nothing better than a dose of Vitamin C. And this hat (He Said, She Said) delivers a wollop of Vitamin C (the color, of course)!

sparker did a great job, right? I love the subtle spirals!

I love a simple looking sweater with one eye-catching detail. Jewels is that kind of sweater. varigatedknits knitted it up in Merry.

I think I would be merry myself if I had that sweater!
