This pattern is very popular with experienced knitters, but the skill level will welcome crafters ready for a challenge. Made with our super-soft LB Collection Cashmere, it’s a pleasure to work and gentle to cuddle in. Choose from several sweet neutral colors.
Treasured Heirloom Baby Blanket (Knit)
This adorable tweed cape will top any outfit with style. It’s chic and cozy, and works up in two skeins of our Fishermen’s Wool – a perfect weekend project. 5-star reviews from our knitters who’ve worked it up!
Speckled Shrug (Knit)
This one-skein wonder-shawl will make a fabulous accessory to brighten the winter months! Worked up in our beloved Shawl in a Ball, it’s pictured in Restful Rainbow, but you could opt for any of the color-ways to complement your personal style.
Sedona Triangle Shawl (Knit)
The Diagonal Comfort Blanket makes a beautiful heirloom gift, as evidenced by our reviews. Darlene says, “I have made several and am working on one now give them away to new moms.” And Renee shared: “Have given blankets to 2 of the other families. But there are more to come. Also do knitting for babies of needy people.” Something about this sweet pattern inspires generosity!
Diagonal Comfort Blanket (Knit)
This extraordinary afghan is an undertaking, no doubt about that. The detail is exquisite, the pattern is challenging, but knitter’s agree – it’s worth it. Made with Wool-Ease, a favorite yarn of many crafters, for versatility & value.
Tree of Life Afghan (Knit)
This beautiful pattern is making a second cameo on our list! For the crocheters reading, we made sure to include the crochet option for this one. While the skill level is daunting, the pattern comes with a drawing and row-by-row explanation, to keep you crafting to incredible results.
Tree of Life Afghan (Crochet)
Made in our LB Collection Silk Mohair, you have several lovely colors to choose from when working up the South Bay Shawlette. The Silk Mohair is elegant, delicate ‘precioso’, says one reviewer! A beautiful garment to wear or to gift away.

The Sun Valley Hat is adorable! You’ll get to work in so many fun details, from the applique bow to pom poms. Whip up this cutie, and let us know how you like it!

This cute cape is on trend for 2018, especially if you work it up in Homespun in Ambrosia, Apple Green, or Baroque. The loose fit is elegant, our Homespun yarn adds a lovely texture, and the pattern is invitingly easy.
Simple Crochet Shrug (Crochet)
Worked in three classic cables, this afghan features a pattern of interlocking Celtic knots. As much for style as it is for comfort, the Celtic Afghan is a gorgeous addition to any home.
