Join me for a little holiday stroll, a visit with Santa and of course lots of knitting chat. And yes a Lobsta Pot Tree #blockislandholidaystroll #northlightfibers #blockisland #theislandlamb
This Thanksgiving weekend was the 31st annual Block Island Stroll. It was a perfect brisk sunny day.
We started with a visit to North Light Fibers owned by Laura and Sven Risom. The mill has been in operation since 2009. It's a micro mill where handcrafted artisanal yarns are made 100% on Block Island. The mill and retail shop are located in the middle of an Exotic animal zoo. https:/northlightfibers
I purchase stitch markers custom made for North Light Fiber by Providence based Katrinkles. #katrinkles a women owned and operated business. They make buttons and tools for knitters. Check out their website https:www.katrinkles.com #katrinkles
On the mannequin is the lovely Seacoast Slipped-Rib Pullover designed by Joji Locatelli. #jojilocatelli patterns can be found on Ravelry. I used North Light Fibers Seaside yarn. A beautiful 50% supima cotton and 50% merino wool.
I'm wearing the Lory Pullover by Courtney Spainhower. I made it in Valley Yarns Northfield. 70% merino, 20% baby alpaca and 10% silk #courtneyspainhower
I made the Classic Ribbed Hat free pattern by Purl SoHo. I knit it in Cloudborn Superwash fingering weight yarn. I held two strands together and knit it on a size 4 needle.
