I Love Yarn Day Every Day

October 18, 2015 by Sarah White

i love yarn daySaturday marked the fifth I Love Yarn Day, a celebration of all things fiber and yarn crafty.

I was busy celebrating my husband’s birthday and didn’t get a chance to mention it, but it’s a great holiday that this year was focused on paying it forward by teaching someone else how to knit, crochet or otherwise craft with yarn.

This is a great idea and I hope it brings awareness to yarn crafting by being more visible on social media (there was also a movement to yarnbomb Facebook, which you can check out at that link).

But in my life, and maybe yours, too, every day is I Love Yarn Day. Every day we can celebrate by working with our hands and our yarn in whatever way we desire.

Yesterday that was a crocheted scarf (I’m trying to brush up on my skills). Today it’s finishing a long (LONG) neglected knit vest, that was really almost finished when I abandoned it.

How are you celebrating yarn today?

Knitting Pattern Review: Sabai Top by PaulaStrickt

Trending now — and for good reason!

Alright fellow knitters, if you’ve been scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest lately, you’ve probably spotted the Sabai Top popping up everywhere. And let me tell you — the hype is totally justified. This lightweight, drapey top by PaulaStrickt has quickly become a must-knit, and it’s easy to see why.

The Sabai Top has that magical mix of style and simplicity. With its elegant A-line shape, soft rolled neckline, and relaxed fit, it flatters every body and suits just about every wardrobe. It’s knit top-down in the round, which means no seams (yes please!), and it flows beautifully thanks to its clever shaping.

It’s ideal for warmer weather and perfect for layering. I’ve seen it styled casually over jeans or thrown over a sundress, and honestly? It looks stunning every single time. That easy, wearable style is what’s made this one take off in the knitting world right now.

PaulaStrickt’s instructions are beautifully laid out, with both English and German versions included. It’s written with clarity and care, and includes helpful photos throughout. I’d say it’s best for confident beginners and up — if you’re comfortable knitting in the round and shaping, you’ll be right at home.

The sizing is generous and inclusive, and it’s so adaptable with different fibres. Linen, cotton, bamboo blends — they all shine in this pattern. I’ve cast on with a blush cotton-linen from my stash, and it’s knitting up like a dream.

This is one of those patterns you just know you’ll make more than once. The fit, the drape, the ease… it’s everything I want in a handmade top. No wonder it’s trending — it’s the kind of timeless knit that never really goes out of style.
