The days are getting cooler. . .


. . .so it's time to get those needles out and start knitting, if you haven't already!

Joyce is modeling the beautiful one size fits most Jojoland Halo kimono. It uses Jojoland's beautiful variegated Rhythm yarn against their solid Baritone yarn. Sorry, this is not a free pattern. It's just that it's so beautiful we wanted you to see it!

A reminder - we'd love to see pictures of your knitting. Please email if you have any digital pictures you'd like to see displayed on this blog!
