rocheters rejoice! This week we're featuring the Eugene Throw, a celebration of mock cables in merino-blend Country. Designer Nancy Smith—the queen of mock cables—bordered her cable panes with an accenting cluster stitch. The softness of Country and its unique construction make it a perfect choice for any sort of textured stitchwork. If you haven't tried mock cables yet, give the Eugene Throw a try.

ables and imaginative stitchwork aren't just for big girls....little ones will fall in love with the wonderful textures in Kelly Klem's Turtle Cove baby blanket, too. Knit in our super-soft, machine-washable bamboo-blend Spa, this exceptional design is completely reversible using a knit-purl combination ripple effect stitch with eyelets. You'll enjoy the rhythm of the pattern stitch, and you'll love working with Spa. It practically glides through your fingers, it's so soft and silky.
