Full Circle Yarn by Knit Picks!

Full circle yarn, made from recycled fibers. It’s spun from a blend of merino and highland wool fibers that would have been discarded, allowing for reduced waste and conservation of natural resources.

Ok, that’s what Knit Picks says.

This is what I say…. I’m working on a scarf out of this color green “Spring” (you knew it had to be green!). This single ply is almost like a pencil roving, (think Lopi), but sooooo much softer than any bulky single spun I’ve ever used. The bulky weight calls for larger needles, obviously, which contributes to a pretty quick knit. It’s a sturdy fabric that I’m knitting (combination of seed stitch and basket weave stitch), but still, the thing I keep going back to is how soft it is. It does split a bit, but I’ve never knit with a single spun bulky that didn’t, and it’s definitely a lot less than others I’ve worked with.

You really need to try some of this, but hurry, it’s a limited edition. Lots of fun heathery colors. Check them out HERE

And, now, for another of Knit Picks limited edition yarns…..Brava! The softest, nicest 100% acrylic I’ve every run through my stubby little hands……and I’ve got a whole knit along project planned.

Check out the Baby Cardigan, Bonnet and Socks HERE.

I’ve ordered the yarn and I’ll start my KAL as soon as I get it.

Probably about a week, if anyone wants to join me!

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
