IDEA #1

This beautiful new Andie by Cocoknits,
knit with Soft Current in Passionflower.

Andie has been a long-time favorite sample in the shop. We have previously had a sample knit in the color Red Pear. Using just one strand of fluffy alpaca Soft Current. The fabric is incredibly divine - light as a cloud, ultra-soft, and full of warmth.

It has been so well-loved that we decided it was time for a new color! We picked Passionflower, a rich burgundy-rose, for a piece that is just ripe for Fall.

Passionflower is one of the colors that qualifies for the Harvest MAL!

Andie is written for the following sizes:
36 (41, 44.5, 49.75) (54.5, 59.25, 64)”

And takes the following number of Soft Current:
4 (4, 4, 5) (5, 6, 7) skeins

Speaking of Passionflower...

IDEA #2

Here Andie is shown coupled with the Foggy Morning Wrap, also by Cocoknits.

This cozy wrap is designed to be thrown on over any outfit - just toss over your shoulders and go!

Knit in 2x2 rib on size 10.5 needles, it is an incredibly quick and satisfying project.

Our version uses three strands of Wild Bloom held together, in Passionflower, Mollusk, and Quartz, to create the softly marled fabric.

So this bundle will also qualify you for the MAL!

IDEA #3

Another fun idea is the Swoop Shawl by Romi Hill.

This ethereal shawl is an asymmetrical wedge-shape, formed with short rows and sections of easy lace.

Shown here in Floating Indigo Blue Sky paired with Frond Oasis.

Both of these are Harvest MAL colors!

IDEA #4

And last but not least, Shawn has started working on a Cerulean Sour 2 Vest in Pretzel Clear Night.

This deep, dramatic navy blue will make a gorgeous classic Fall vest that can transition straight into Winter. Despite its moody depth, the delicately twining cables still show up beautifully.

Bundles are available in Clear Night as well as Coastal Redwood - both colors in the 2026 Fall palette.

Or choose any of the other Bread & Butter colors included in the 2026 Fall palette to knit up your own vest in Pretzel!
