Tuesday we started the Stitch.Rock.Knit-along for the Shawl We? triangle wrap from the current issue of Knit Simple Magazine. Just because we've cast-on though, doesn't mean it's too late to join the fun! The great thing about virtual knit-alongs, is that you participate at your own convenience. Log-on to the Ravelry group thread, or the Facebook page whenever you're ready, and the info will be there for you.

Stitch.Rock.Love,

Tulip

Have you ever tried your hand at bead crochet?  There are so many techniques and all you need is a bit of yarn, a few beads and Tulip’s Sucre Bead Crochet Hooks.  The super-comfy handle grip allows you to stitch those beads for hours.

Hip, Beret has an openwork motif back and striped bands all around.  Pick your favorite Sheep(ish) colors and whip up a few berets of your own.

Serenity Cardi

Designed by Tanis Grey, the Serenity Cardi is knit double-stranded using lightweight Spa, making this piece a true year-round jacket.  The feather-and-fan lace stitch is bordered on each repeat with a few rows of garter stitch, providing substance and definition to the lace patterning.  Plus, the hood dresses down the cardi so it can be worn just about anywhere!
