Here are a selection of your finished projects from Knitbot Linen! These are all from Ravelry if you want to read more details about any of them. A reminder that Quince & Co. is offering my new kerchief pattern FREE thru March 28 when you buy the Knitbot Linen print / e-book bundle!
Sans Kerchief, Knitbot Linen & Stashbot
It's been less than a year since Knitbot Linen released. As spring has most welcomely arrived and warmer weather is on the horizon, I wanted to re-present this collection.
Have you had a chance to knit with linen before? Well, if you've been hesitant or curious to try it, I've designed a simple kerchief in Quince & Co. Sparrow that will pair very nicely with any of the garments from Knitbot Linen.
Sans Kerchief is a great opportunity to both swatch with Sparrow and create an accessory for every day wear. The pattern includes two size kerchiefs, both a 21" and 32" square. No, your eyes don't deceive you, this kerchief is simple. But in my opinion linen is at it's best when it's simply done!
Through the end of this week, that's March 24 - 28, Quince & Co. is offering Sans Kerchief FREE when you purchase Knitbot Linen ($16 digital & print bundle) from their website! And hey, while you're there, they are also stocking my new yarn buying guide, Stashbot ($6 print booklet)!
