In a little over two weeks the world will be watching as the Olympic torch makes its way into the arena in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Athletes from all corners of the globe will come together to celebrate and compete in the 2018 Winter Olympics! I’m not sure about you, but I love the Olympics. I love seeing each country’s opening ceremony uniform, hearing stories of overcoming obstacles and following dreams, and learning about the individuals representing each country. Plus, I get to watch all the snowy competition from the comfort of my couch, preferably with a knitting project in my hands.
Though we won’t be representing our countries in the Olympics, us knitters, crocheters, spinners, and weavers can get into the spirit and compete for some bragging rights in the 2018 Ravellenic Winter Games! If you’re unfamiliar with the Ravellenic Games, let me bring you up to speed. A few years ago, Ravelry.com created a challenge for all fiber crafters that coincided with the Olympic games. There were teams that you could join and events that you could participate in with the main goal of bringing the fiber arts community together much like the Olympics brings the world’s athletes together.
Participating in this event is simple and open to all skill levels. You basically pick an event, create a project page for it, and post your finished project in the correct “Finish Line” thread in the Ravelry group. You can join a team, or not, depending on your availability and how much you want to commit. You can sign up for as many events as you like; there is no penalty for not finishing a project in the given time. Casting on cannot be done before the Opening Ceremony, and everything must be cast off before or during the Closing Ceremony. Check out and join the Ravellenic Winter Games 2018 Ravelry group to get more information.
I’m brainstorming which events I’d like to sign up for and which yarns I’d like to use. It’s going to be hard to decide, but a few that are catching my attention are: Shawl Skating, Mitten Moguls, WIPs Dancing, Freestyle Spinning, Sweater Skeleton, and Sock Hockey. All of these events have separate conditions and rules, so be sure to read the initial post in each thread before starting.
If you’re planning on participating, we’d love to hear what projects you have planned! Are you joining a team or are you going to be an independent “athlete”? Keep an eye on the KnitCircus Facebook and Instagram for updates on all of our Ravellenic projects! Good luck and have fun!

]]>Wow, we’re still in the middle of the Peace Project KAL, so it’s hard to realize that the New Year will be here in a flash. I’m thrilled to say that this year will bring another round of the Kindess KAL! It was so heartwarming to see how many people participated last year and to appreciate all of their different Kindness KAL projects with creative color and yarn combinations. The new KAL will feature a new Kindness KAL shawl pattern (not published yet) and will run from February 1-April 1 2018.
I’m really happy with the new Kindness colorway this year (there was a pile on Liz’s desk this morning and I had to pick it up and pretend-eat it, I love it so). The soft grays flow into sky blue and rich purples. Purple has traditionally been associated with magic, and I also associate it with forgiveness and kindness, any emotion that expands the mind and spirit. Hopefully you will all enjoy it, too!
These days, we need acts of kindness more than ever. The way the KAL will run isn’t set yet; if you have ideas of how people can contribute time, talent or money to organizations through the KAL, please leave a comment here or on instagram (@knitcircus_yarns).
The inspiration for this colorway’s name came from the Madison, Wisconsin mothers who created these yard signs. If you like what you see, you could get one for your own window or yard!
You don’t have to wait for the KAL; use this color for any favorite project! But do mark your calendar to knit along with us for Kindness starting February 1.

]]>The Pickford cowl is a pattern designed by our very own Jaala Spiro. This cowl mimics the look of a triangular shawl wrapped around your neck, but there are no ends to manage! It looks great knit in our gradient, speckle, and Impressionist yarn as well as our self-striping skeins of Ringmaster. Plus it only takes one ball of yarn! Shown in Birds of a Feather gradient.
If you’re in need of an interesting, but simple hat pattern, the Blufftop Hat is just the thing! This beautiful textured hat is subtle enough to let the yarn truly shine, yet fun and fast to knit. Add a pom-pom or leave it plain! Shown in Happy Little Trees Ringmaster gradient.
We recently saw an Antler Hat by Tin Can Knits made up in our Shades of Gray gradient colorway and fell in love! The stitch definition is just wonderful and the cables in that hat pop beautifully. Again, one skein of Ringmaster worsted is all this hat takes!
Speaking of Tin Can Knits, their Barley Hat pattern is also a great gift knit! Simple, but fun and interesting, this hat is mostly stockinette with a garter section thrown in for added texture. There are a few examples of the hat knit in our speckle and gradient colorways, but I have a feeling it would be just delicious in our Impressionist Speckle yarn too!
Last, but certainly not least, is Zuzu’s Petals. This lovely lacey cowl looks delicate but is warm as can be around your neck. It shows off all the colors of our gradient yarns and is so fun to knit! Be sure to follow the worsted weight instructions in the pattern and this project is sure to fly off your needles!
These are just a small selection of patterns that would be great for our Ringmaster yarn, but there are so many more ideas on Ravelry and in our store! Happy holiday knitting!

]]>Our newest color, Love is Love, is a thank-you to all of the brave individuals in the knitting community and in our families and friend circles who have the courage to be who they are and love the person who makes them happy.
We believe that rights of LGBT individuals are human rights and that, when they are able to perform their best at school, work and home, without restriction, discrimination or threat, we all benefit. So in perpetuity, we’ll be donating 10% of the purchase price of this colorway to the Human Rights Campaign.
This colorway was tricky to create; the more colors in a gradient that are very different from each other, the more difficult it is to apply the dye without areas of muddy overlap. The red, yellow and orange bit isn’t too hard, but there’s just no way around it; green and purple make an unappealing brown.
There was no way around it, we thought, but then we came up with a different solution; applying the green as two separate colors, blue and yellow layered over each other. Voila! Now we could create a rainbow with all of the colors in the right order, all caked up and ready to go.
We hope you love this color as much as we do.

]]>I thought it’d be nice to take a little time to introduce myself since I am new and will hopefully be meeting many of you at our new shop location. I’ve been a knitter since I was eight years old, taught by my industriously crafty German grandmother. I picked it up and put it down throughout my childhood and became truly addicted seven years ago when I was a Junior in college. I never looked back. A few years after that I learned to spin yarn and recently I’ve started dabbling in knitwear design. A lot of my pattern ideas and names, and even my Instagram and Ravelry handle (@driftlessknitter) is influenced by the beautiful Driftless region of the Midwest that I’m lucky to call home. With the rolling hills, lakes, mighty rivers, and valleys there isn’t a shortage of inspiration around here!
Most of my free time goes to knitting, but my second hobby of choice is sitting down with a good book and reading. I’ve loved books and stories my whole life, so I decided to study literature in college. That degree taught me to write well, communicate, and think critically, all useful things to have in your toolbox when working at a small business.
The last few weeks here at KnitCircus have been busy in the best way. I’ve been learning a lot, not only here in the store, but also in the dye studio. And I’m looking forward to when we will host classes and knit nights so I can get to know the lovely knitters in the area. If you’re local make sure to come say hello and if you’re not, well you might have to plan a yarn-cation to Madison!

Customers in the shop have been wondering how to choose beautiful combinations for their Fade projects. Since putting complementary colors together is pretty much my job, I’d like to share a few strategies I use when thinking about creating gradients.
There are three approaches I’d like to show you: gradient, balanced complements and color value.
Let’s start with gradients today. As you might imagine, the easiest way to think about a gradient is one basic color (say, blue) with one end very light, moving to a much darker shade of the same color. Check out the Tangled Up in Blue gradient yarn below.
When you’re picking out colors, having things in the same color family from light to dark tells a very coherent color story. If you have speckles that aren’t quite the same color, a great strategy is to look at the color’s value. Value means the light or darkness of a color on a grayscale.
These semisolid skeins are lined up in order of lightest to darkest by value. If you want to check your lineup of colors to see if it’s going from light to dark, line them up and take a photo with your phone. Then add the grayscale filter and it will show you the skeins’ value. Sometimes colors surprise you!
Let’s start with a nice gradient in the same color family. All of these colors have other elements, but they have green in common. Darkest to lightest, they’re What Kind of Bird Are You, Tiptoe Through the Tulips, Easy Being Green and Growing Like a Weed.
If you want to be a bit more adventurous, choose yarns that are not exactly the same color, but that all come from either the warm or cool side of the spectrum. Cool is blues, grays, greens and blue-purples like the group shown above, with the lightest Mistress of Myself, middle Cloud Nine and darkest Great Blue Yonder.
The warm side of the spectrum includes reds, pinks, red-purples, warm browns, yellows and oranges. You can see that the three colors above don’t exactly have matching base colors, but there are coordinating elements from each (the purple in the middle Fig & Prosciutto shade goes with the darkest shade, Don’t Fence Me In and the pink speckles in the lightest color Moonrise Kingdom echo the pink in the middle shade. The fact that they’re all warm colors makes the color story stronger.
Here’s a more adventurous palette blending two different dyers’ yarns. These have disparate base colors, but all share elements of warmth.
Play around with your own stash skeins to create gradient warm and cool color stories you’ll enjoy knitting!

]]>My daughter has been knitting since she made a 3-inch-square doll blanket at the age of six. I love seeing which patterns catch her eye, and which yarns the now-16-year-old chooses. I call her Belle on the blog because she’s social-media shy even though she’s a teenager.
We at Knitcircus think a lot about making things coordinate flawlessly, like with the perfectly-paired Matching Socks Sets, but Belle tapped into a spirit of fun where things aren’t so matchy-matchy. Her lighthearted take on wristwarmers took a Mermaid Lagoon gradient, with three colors of blue on one end, and three colors of green on the other, and used one side for each mitt. She used the Peekaboo Mitts pattern free on Ravelry, by Spiderwoman Knits, for her armwarmers.
The version she made used one cake of Ringmaster Worsted yarn. This would work great with any Panoramic Gradient with two main colors like Brass and Steam, April Skies, Beach Glass, Thanks for All the Fish.
It would look really fun in a really wild Panoramic Gradient like Over the Rainbow; one side would be red, orange and yellow and the other would be green, blue and purple. One the other hand, a Chromatic Gradient would give you a more subtle difference, a light and dark turquoise in Turquoise Pool, for example.
The Rubik’s Cube travels everywhere with Belle; in any quiet moment, she may pull it out and start rolling the squares around. A favorite school-year pastime is handing it to another student to mess it up and then solving it. Her record is one minute four seconds!
Pattern note: Belle used 50g/approximately 125 yds on each mitt, making them about an inch longer than the original pattern.
]]>
I was so excited about the new Brass & Steam Impressionist Speckled Gradient that I cast this project on right away, when the yarn wasn’t even fully finished processing (you can do that when you work in the dye studio…)
I’d knit several garter stitch and/or lace shawls lately, so was feeling the pull toward some texture. The yarn I chose was Trampoline 100% USA Merino superwash fingering, so 440 yards per 100g ball.
A pleasant search through Ravelry later, I decided on the Rattan Shawl, by Libby Jonson. No charts needed! But I’m kind of lazy, so I didn’t knit all of the stitches through the back loop as in the original pattern. My stitches are less defined, but still nicely ribbed, I think.
Here it is after knitting but before blocking.
After blocking, it looks waaay better!
If you’re wondering who the lovely model is, it’s Dyer Sarah; this woman rides her bike five miles to work, dyes up a couple of trays of yarn and manages to look fresh and calm for a photoshoot in the middle of it all. She’s amazing, and possibly part pixie or woodland elf.
We have a park nearby which is the go-to place for our pretty-much-weekly photoshoots. Elizabeth does a fantastic job of taking the high-res pictures so everything looks good! She is also a master of making our petite Sarah look impressively tall.
Here’s a fun pic that shows the shawl off perfectly, but Sarah’s shoes look maybe a little too practical for a fashion shot…
I loved knitting Rattan! It was easy to memorize the pattern and made for relaxing baseball and tv knitting.

Just as the wand chooses the wizard, I firmly believe that the yarn chooses the pattern. I don’t claim to be a yarn whisperer, and some yarns are more selective than others. When I try to knit something other than what the yarn wants, the project just doesn’t work out, and ends up getting frogged. Along the way, I’ve noticed that many of the Knitcircus yarns appear to have a sense of humor when it comes to selecting their patterns! Jaala asked me to share some of their ideas with you.
It started with a skein of Over the Rainbow Gradient Speckle that insisted on becoming the Emerald City Shawl by Shannon Squire.
After that things just took off! Some of the projects currently lined up in my queue:
A skein of ‘Starry Night’ wants to become the ‘Summer Sky’ shawl by Janina Kallio
‘Space is Big, Really Big’ wants to be ‘Don’t Panic’ by Monika Evans
‘Mallard’ is insisting on becoming the ‘Dodo’ shawl by Heidi Alexander
‘Evergreen’ is begging to be the ‘Timberline Lodge Shawl’ by Kay Hopkins
‘Toasting Marshmallows’ chose the ‘Flame Keeper Shawl’ by Laurie Beardsley, and
‘Fruit Kabob’ jumped at the sight of the ‘Bosc Pear Shawl’ by Tetiana Otruta.
What does your yarn want to become?

]]>Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy is one of the new Impressionist Speckled Gradients. We are all in love with these gradients with pops of unexpected color throughout.
This new dyeing process started one day when Elizabeth and I had been hanging out at beloved yarn/coffee shop The Sow’s Ear. On the way home I told her about some dyeing experiments I’d been working on and described some of the pitfalls.
Bug got so excited that she used her finely-honed style sense, picked out the Cancun Boxy Lace Top and knit it up within a week!
One of the first Speckled Impressionist Gradients was Just Have a Little Faith. You guys know I’m a little obsessed with the TV show Prison Break, with its suspenseful, clever plot and self-sacrificing hero. The grays and blues of the first season begged to be made into a speckled gradient!
The next one, with its rich greens and blues, had to be an homage to some more favorite characters. You guys loved Frog and Toad as much as we did!
Every time we create a new color of the Speckled Gradients, it generates a lot of excitement in the studio. We’re all trying to get dibs on the yarn first! It’s really fun to knit, because you keep asking, “Which color will this stitch be? How about the next one…”
Happy knitting,
Jaala

While I’m personally a process knitter, I have this habit of going through my Unfinished Objects (UFO’s) about twice a year and getting 5-10 things done. It’s enormously gratifying. Now if I could just get organized enough to post them on Ravelry, I’d be as virtuous as these knitters I’m featuring today.

30% Mulberry Silk. 70% US Merino. Fingering weight. Yum.
Parasol is 100% USA-sourced and USA-spun to our exact specifications.
It’s another Knitcircus exclusive.
We’re smitten. Once we cracked open the box o’ yarn from our US mill, we were hooked. On its softness. Its shine. And of course, its silkiness.
This yarn is so different for us in a few important ways:
Here’s another one. Our colorway Just Beet It in silk/merino Parasol (left) and 100% merino Trampoline (right):
We knitted up another shawl out of Parasol, and this time it’s Knitcircus owner Jaala Spiro’s Juniper Lemon shawl pattern.
colorway: Springtime in Paris
cake size: 100g/440 yards
We know you’ll love this new yarn base. We’re offering it in all of our gradient colorways as well as our kettle-dyed semisolids and handpaint speckles. Enjoy!
See you soon.
