Knitting the High Seas Balaclava: A Yarn-First Adventure

I am a yarn-first kind of knitter. I can’t help but be drawn to the beautiful colors and textures of yarns, and I find myself searching for the perfect pattern to showcase them. Malabrigo is one of my favorite brands, so I couldn’t resist when Web’s announced Malabrigo’s newest yarn, Noventa. I ordered a few skeins in the Talisman colorway and started searching for a pattern that would do it justice.

Exploring Texture in Knitting with the Majestic Moraine Pattern and Malabrigo Noventa Yarn

My current knitting obsession is texture, so when it came time to choose a pattern for my new Malabrigo Noventa yarn from WEBS – America’s Yarn Store, I knew exactly what I was looking for! I started my search on Ravelry, and came across the Majestic Moraine pattern by Aimée Hansen.

As a knitter, it’s always exciting to find a new pattern that captures your attention and imagination. That’s exactly what happened when I came across the That Nice Stitch infinity scarf pattern on Ravelry. From the moment I laid eyes on it, I knew I had to give it a try. The texture is just beautiful!

R2D2 Hat

Knitting a special gift for my grandson has always been a joy, but creating a colorwork hat featuring everyone’s favorite Star Wars character, R2D2, was especially satisfying. It all started when I came across an R2D2 chart on Pinterest. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to use it to make something special for my grandson.

There’s nothing quite like knitting a cozy, textured cowl in your favorite colors. Whether you opt for bold and vibrant shades or soft and muted tones, using yarn in hues that bring you joy can make the knitting process even more enjoyable.
