Community Spotlight: Lovely Colorwork

Welcome to Community Spotlight, where we’ll be showing you highlights from our Community Gallery. To be featured in the gallery, simply post a picture of your Lion Brand creations to Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #lionbrandyarn. We’ll be choosing some of our favorites to post to the blog.

This week we saw some beautiful colorwork pieces in the gallery. Fair isle and intarsia, knit and crochet, there were plenty of lovely hues and designs to look at. Knitters and crocheters made projects with sports teams, cute animals, and traditional designs. Some were complex while others were simple, but all of them were truly excellent. We even saw one person complete our United States Afghan, which is a pretty fantastic feat of color.

Check out this week’s spotlight below!

finally getting the hang of this fair isle business! changing needle sizes (thanks for the suggestion @kniftyknittings!), adjusting my float tension, and tweaking a number of patterns to create my own and we’re one more practice hat and a #wellcrafted wooden tag away from being listed! #hats #winterhats #knithats #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #fairislefriday #pompom #yarnlove #lionbrand #handmade #madeinmassachusetts #shopsmall #shoplocal #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #etsystore #wellcrafted #wellcraftedshop
