I've been quite enamored with the Night & Day Cowl! I'm hoping to have an FO to show off next week. Fingers crossed 🤞

I couldn't resist the siren call of the new Noro yarn (more about it below!) and cast on a fascinating scarf from Martina Behm, called Literally.

Gnome River Yarns update
I've been on the hunt and experimenting to find a new brown for our "Brunette" colorway (which also impacts "Bat Friend" and "Amber"). I have finally found one and have all bases restocked, as well as "Bat Friend" on our full skeins.

Somewhere Tropical 🏝
For me, February is the hardest month to get through in Michigan. Don't get me wrong, I love winter and snow and snuggling inside, but February feels like it drags on and on. I always dream of planning a vacation somewhere tropical, to soak up some light and color and sunshine, to help get through the rest of the gray time in Michigan. "Somewhere Tropical" is the name of our February COTM, inspired by my imaginary tropical vacation and my daughter Sydney's tropical honeymoon trip to Hawaii. Turquoise, sand, and speckles of hot pink, orange and green bring the tropical to you without the expensive plane ticket!

New yarn from Noro!
Let yourself be swept away by the vibrant beauty of Koma, a showstopping yarn from Noro that captures the essence of Japanese artistry. Spun from a luxe blend of 45% wool, 35% mohair and 20% silk, Koma delivers the perfect balance of warmth, softness, and luster - all wrapped up in Noro's signature self-striping palette.

Each ball is layered with waves of color that play out like the swirls of a spinning top - a joyful dance of hue and texture. In fact, Koma takes its name from the Japanese work for a spinning top, a fitting tribute to the yarn's sense of motion and playful energy.

With a generous 443 yards per 150 gram skein, Koma is perfect for statement shawls, cozy garments and any project that calls for color and character. The lofty mohair halo adds softness and depth, while silk threads in a subtle sheen that elevates every stitch. Whether you're crafting bold contrasts or painterly gradients, Koma is a celebration of creativity - inspired by nature, tradition and the timeless joy of making.
