The days are short and the nights are long. We are surrounded by sparkly lights and festive music. It's that wonderful time of year between Christmas and New Year - Betwixtmas is here.
Prepare to snuzzle down in your favourite knitting spot and create something beautiful. Leave the stresses and strains of a busy few months behind and cast-on a project designed especially for these slow days of leftover food and Christmas movies.
Designed by Black Sheep favourite, Sarah Hatton, this year’s Betwixtmas is a beautiful cabled aran shawl that is really on-trend. A stunning tapered shape with an i-cord edge it works perfectly over a coat or sweater for chillier days. Using easy increases and cables this pattern is perfect to lose yourself in for a few hours every day.
Knitting in pure aran weight yarns, our luxury British pack uses West Yorkshire Spinners Fable Brushed Aran. The pack contains four balls of Fable and a FREE printed pattern for just £53.95. Choose from four incredible shades; Fjord, Faun, Elder or Rubus.
If mohair blends are not your thing then we also showcase WYS The Croft Aran, a 100% pure British wool that gives incredible stitch definition. These yarn packs include four skeins of yarn, and a FREE printed pattern for £35.95 and again you can choose from four incredible shades Fetlar, Moarfield, Ollaberry and Lerwick.
There are eight colourways, something for everyone and as always there are limited numbers available. However if you want to freestyle you can buy the printed pattern for just £4 or digital for £3.
The official live cast-on will be on Christmas Eve at 2pm on our Facebook Page. Join me in your Christmas jumper to cast-on together and share some hints and tips.
Don't forget to share your Betwixtmas in our Facebook Make Along Group. We love to see all the colourways and your progress.
All our love and Happy Christmas,
