Meet Helen and Justin. Justin made Helen a scarf. His own design (knit 2, purl 2, cast on 48 stitches) out of one long and lovely skein of our soft and dreamy Kaffe Fassett Kids Silk Haze. We celebrate the maker and his muse. Stunning.

Herewith two posts celebrating love and craftiness. First up, friends…and I don’t even have their names, but I loved that Friend on the Left was making a lovely sweater for Friend on the Right: The Ballet Wrap from the book, “Fitted Knits” in blue Cascade 228. I hope it came out!
