Quick Buttoned Capelet $5
Pattern by Haley Waxberg
Fast, easy and satisfying, this pattern is a great quickie to make over a weekend or if you're jonesing for something warm to wrap around you for fall. It can be worn dressy or casual and makes a terrific little coverup for chilly afternoons at the office. The button capelet also makes a fantastic gift because it looks so impressive but takes so little time to make!
Estelle Designs only distributes yarns in Canada and unfortunately I haven't yet identified an American distributor of the same yarn. If you would like to purchase some Woolly Bully contact me at info@knitomatic.com, I am happy to ship internationally.

Quickie Cardie Jacket
Pattern by Haley Waxberg
This sweater jacket is made as simply as possible for instant gratification and high satisfaction! The yarn is a very thick and lofty wool blend. It is knit in one piece starting from the middle of the back using a nifty and easy technique called a provisional cast on. The only finishing is seaming the sides and picking up the stitches for the collar, which are both a piece of cake with this very forgiving multi-colored yarn. The arms are picked up from the body and worked down in the round on circular needles, so you not only don't have to seam them but you can make the sleeves exactly the right length for you! If you don't want to do any seaming we also offer you alternate instructions for a 3 needle bind off. Close the jacket with a brooch, or a sweater stick.

Pre-Order Your Addi-Click Kit!

Pre-Order Your Addi-Click Kit!
First Come, First Served!
The long awaited and much desired Addi Click interchangeable turbo needles kit will be arriving in Mid-October but we are only allowed to order 10 so we are taking pre-orders. The kits sells for $180 and we are accepting reservations with payment. The price sounds steep but if you love addis this kit is a very good value. If you bought 10 sets of addi needles in just a single length they would cost at least $230, and you know how knitting is, you're constantly buying different length needles! The addi Click system provides 10 different sizes of addi Turbo tips (3.5mm - 10mm), three different lengths of our new, extremely pliable blue cord (24”, 32” and 40”), and one connector piece which helps to either store stitches or combine your cords. The Click tips require no tools to change; simply insert the cord deep into the tip, twist and release. The tips will remain secure until you change them. To reserve your set please come in to the store, or contact us at (416) 653-7849 or info@knitomatic.com with your payment information.
