  • Craft Town is a stranded colourwork shawl with a statement fringe designed by Becci Pamely-Bast to celebrate the 15th year of the Unravel Festival in Farnham Maltings. She took her inspiration from the architecture in Farnham, which is England's first World Craft Town and therefore an appropriate home for a yarn festival. There are many variations of the herringbone pattern that feature in brickwork, tiles, parquet flooring, and now in this shawl. The stranded knitting makes the fabric super warm and cosy.

  • Mini Mania is a striped sock pattern by Fay Dashper-Hughes. It has been cleverly designed to incorporate the yarn tails as you go, so there are not lots of ends to weave in at the end. It is worked cuff down, with a heel flap and rounded toes. The pattern contains detailed photos and a link to a private YouTube tutorial.
     
    Sizes given in the pattern are for a 60/64/68/72 stitch sock. The 68 and 72-st socks require 2 20g mini skeins of colour A, so be sure to include these when selecting your colour choice.
