We have prepared a variey of knitted hat and scarf samples, just in time for the cold weather. The  pattern "Sugar on Snow" shown in the first image, is  from knitty.com.   You can make a hat as we have using 2 balls of Bonbori by Noro and tying the top with a knitted I-cord. 

The same pattern was used to make this lovely cowl shown in image two. Here we used one skein of Baby Alpaca Sport by Diamond Yarns. The same pattern, Sugar on Snow by knitty.com was used without the I-cord that was used on the hat.

 Working with dissolvable stabilizers( water soluble) can be a little addictive. Bowls and other 3 dimensional objects are built up of layers of thread, yarns and other fibers all stitched onto a water soluble stabilizer base. Once a firm material is formed, the stabilizer is rinsed away and the new material is left to dry over a form.There are numerous stabilizers on the market, but we have a few favorites, depending on what you are making.
