Prehistoric Pals

The adorable Knitting at Knoon dinosaur patterns have arrived:

There are four different dinos: a stegosaurus, triceratops, brachiosaurus and tyrannosaurus rex. Knit these with any aran weight yarn - we love the striped dinosaurs that are knit with Noro Kureyon. They range in height from 6" to 10" seated, the perfect size for little hands.

The Safari Friends designs are just as cute:


Again there are four different creatures: an elephant, lion, zebra and giraffe. Use any aran weight yarn for these as well. The safari friends range in height from 8" to 10".

We also like the KaK Jersey Shore kids sweater design for ages 3 - 10:


This is a classic raglan crewneck with a lovely checked texture. It's a relaxed, oversize fit that's practical for both comfort and growing room. Any DK weight yarn will work for this one.

And check out the beautiful Wrap Me Up Shawl knit in Noro Silk Garden:


Valerie has already started one of these shawls. It's a modular sampler wrap that has a beautiful assortment of colours and textures. This is one of KaK's most popular designs.

Look here for lots more fantastic Knitting at Knoon designs. We have many of these including the Li'l Sunhats, Sweet Pea and Wee-One Welcome Set for babies, Spanky for kids and Our Gang, Shizuka and The Lucy for women. And we're happy to special order any other patterns that catch your eye.

You should also have a look at the KaK free designs. We think the Mitered Squares Afghan that's knit in Noro Silk Garden is stunning. And we've conveniently just received many new colours of Silk Garden. We're thinking of scheduling a mitered squares workshop - please call us if you're interested. This is a magical technique that can easily be mastered by a determined beginner.

And speaking of Noro, the intriguing new Kureyon sock yarn should arrive any day. We adore all the Noro yarns and we're looking forward to expanding our collection!
