KNITfreedom and Magnolia Handspun together again!


Last year Liat published the Aspen Ice cowl, the first of her exclusive patterns for Magnolia Handspun. 
With more yarn left over I decided to knit a slouchy hat to in the same sts. pattern.

Since then, we’ve been getting so many requests for “the hat that goes with the Aspen Ice cowl” that Liat  re-created the hat and publish the hat pattern
so you could have it.



This is an easy and fast pattern for hand spun yarn
The repeating lace pattern makes a spiral that looks fantastic with a lot of different of textures, colors and thicknesses.


This chunky hat pattern is
 FREE

You can find it here

  2. This yarn is beautiful and looks wonderful as the Aspen Ice Hat! After staring at the yarn I came up with Calliope. The Greek translation is, having a beautiful voice, and this yarn speaks to me beautifully! Thanks for the chance!

  6. Banana Blueberry Split, since it is kind of like a banana split with a few extra blueberries thrown in for taste.

  9. I've been anxiously awaiting this contest since Liat first blurbed about it on facebook. The hat is gorgeous, the yarn is gorgeous, and your hair is gorgeous! I know, your hair has nothing to do with the yarn or hat or contest, but I just had to throw that in, 'cause it really is gorgeous!

    How about "wheatgrass" for a handspun name?

  10. This is the first time I've heard of and visited your shops and it definitely looks like a shopping trip is in order in the very near future! As for the yarn names... how about a name to honor the hat and cowl patterns? Aspen Dreams, Aspen Delight, Aspen Dazzle...
    A general name could be something like 'Nature's Bounty' or 'Dancing Fauna (or Flora)' :)

  11. This reminds me of Bubble Gum! I think that would be a good name for it :)

  14. How about Geranium to go with the Delphinium. (See the poem about the dormouse and the doctor by AA Milne.) :)

  15. Very Nice, Thank you!
    Winterlicious would be a fun name for yarn

    ReplyDelete
  16. When I look at this yarn, all I can see are wildflowers - so how about "Mountain Meadow?" It's gorgeous whatever you call it!

  17. Beautiful yarn!
    The yarn reminds me of a painter's dropcloth so I pick
    "Dropcloth".

  18. I would love to work with this yarn! I think a great yarn name would be Peacock - in the blue/green/bronze hues (my favorites)!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I've always thought "Widdershins" would make a great name for handspun...

    ReplyDelete
  20. We (my baby in my belly and I...I'm due today) LURV LUV LOVE the name Sparrow's Fandangoliciousness!

    I immediately think of 2 blue sparrows dancing and flying and twirling through the air. I would make a matching baby hat with this trés expensive and yummy yarn. Delightful.

  21. I think 'spun fun' would be a good yarn name

    ReplyDelete
  22. How about "Wonderfulness" (apologies to Bill Cosby)

    ReplyDelete
  23. How about "Prairie Flower" for a yarn-color-name?

    ReplyDelete
  24. The handspun effect makes me think of variable-sized strands in nature- how about "Spirulina" ?

  25. My Aunt Gloria is a master gardener. These colors remind me of her flowerbeds, bursting with color throughout the summer! So, I think "Gloria's Gardens" would be my choice. :)

  26. Hmmm...if you're feeling highly motivated and the sheep/goats/camelids/fields are being really productive...how about a themed series: Amber Waves (yellows/browns), Purple Majesties (purples, purples/greens), Spacious Skies (blues/light grays/whites), perhaps with silver metallics in the Majesties and Skies skeins.

  27. This is a heavenly yarn so how about "Heaven's Hands"

    ReplyDelete

May the Warm Winds of Heaven
Blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your Mocassins
Make happy tracks
in many snows,
and may the Rainbow
Always touch your shoulder.
