Amanda Kaffka in Vogue!
You may not have heard, but there is a knitting celebrity in our midst! Our very own Amanda Kaffka (now of The Crafty Jackalope) has a pattern (#09 Celtic Cable Scarf) in Vogue Knitting Fall 2014!
Amanda has designed a fantastic oversized bulky knit cabled scarf. And I do mean oversized - this is a statement piece for sure!
Possibly the best news is that Amanda will have samples available at Knit City this weekend (see below). As an added bonus, one of the samples on display is knit out of Diamond Luxury Embrace (again, see below for more information).

Big and Bold
We know that you all love fall as much as we do - it's the start of knitting season after all! So here are a few of the newest big, bold yarns of the season. Knit on!
Diamond Luxury
These three yarns from the Diamond Luxury line just scream 'giant cowl' or 'oversized sweater' or 'apartment cozy' or... wait, maybe that last one's just me...
Diamond Luxury Mirage: 60% wool, 40% silk, 16 st/4"
Rich, softly variegated colours that are simply mesmerizing
to knit with.
Diamond Luxury Embrace: 65% superfine alpaca,
35% acrylic, 9 st/4"
The bulkiest out of the bunch, and just the ticket for some seriously quick knits.
Diamond Luxury Alpaca Gold: 100% super baby alpaca,
24 st/4"
Can only be described as... buttery. Truly the epitome
of knitting luxury.

Berroco
Berroco never fails to deliver on quality and affordability. This season, like always, they've got something for everyone!
Berroco Ultra Alpaca Chunky: 50% super fine alpaca, 50% peruvian wool, 14 st/4"
You liked Ultra Alpaca in worsted and fine weights, now get ready to love the chunky version!
Berroco Inca Tweed: 50% highland wool, 30% super fine alpaca, 14% acrylic, 6% rayon, 14 st/4"
If you're a tweed lover like me, you can't beat the colours and the handspun feel of Inca Tweed.
Berroco Borealis Tweed: 52% acrylic, 33% wool,
15% rayon, 12 st/4"
Cheerful colours and a hefty gauge make for some rewarding and cheerful knits.
