Pardon our stardust ✨

BY SHELLEY BRANDER

You. Me. Each of us – we’re all works in progress.

And so is our new Knit Stars flagship store.

It’s all coming together at Center One in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA – the ultimate destination experience for yarn lovers.

Meanwhile, while we grow, please pardon our stardust 💁‍♀️✨

For a sneak peek of what’s to come, watch this 1-minute video.

P.S. Our current store is still open at 61st and Yale and we’re always here for you at loopslove.com 🤗

Stash diet be damned.

You need – you deserve – to treat your fingers to this glorious Audubon 50/50 merino silk, drenched in joyous color at the hands of Terra Mitchell, the artistic genius behind Mitchell’s Fiber Creations.

Whatever your level of adventurousness, we’ve got Audubon options for you.

“Stormy Sky” by Ksenia Naidyon is a lightweight, asymmetrical shawl. This modern piece makes a great fast project with just ONE SKEIN of Audubon Sock yarn. Bonus: It’s easy to memorize, and it’s got an on-trend tassel option!

More adventurous knitters should cast on this stunning sweater by Rose Beck. “Rosa” is knit top-down with a simple stitch pattern that makes this hand-dyed silk blend sing. Shown in “Broken Arrow,” our custom color of Audubon Sock.

Crocheters can whip up “The Positivity Spiral” by Faye Dashper-Hughes with just one skein. It’s a simple 16-stitch, 8-round repeat. Filet crochet creates lace holes that work up in a spiral around the cowl, alongside herringbone trebles. Style your cowl with your favorite Jul Shawl Cuff.

All 3 patterns can be found on Ravelry. Click here to shop Audubon Sock by Mitchell’s Creations.

Can’t you picture yourself strolling along the beach in this?

The V-back Tee by Jamie Hoffman is perfectly pretty, cool and breathable in smooth, refined “Pretty Pima” fingering-weight 100% Pima cotton, hand-dyed by Emma’s Yarn.

The awesome gals at Emma’s created two custom fades for us – “Walking on Sunshine” and “Singing in the Rain.”

In either colorway, you’ll be unforgettable coming and going.

The beauty of a one-pan dinner is that the prep is minimal. Minimal prep = more time to stitch!
