Duo is a super fun, new yarn that we make by plying 2 singles of different Noro yarns together. They can vary in gauge, so make sure you get a batch that is marked worsted or aran for this hat.

Knitting: Sleeveless Top
The story of this top – it was meant to be a full, long sleeve sweater, but as I was knitting it, it just looked so tiny. I kept checking my gauge swatch and notes and going back and forth.

Knitting: Baby Blanket
There was great debate in our household about what to call this blanket, and then my daughter (the usual model) landed on Frigg, a Norse goddess of fertility and it made us erupt into laughter.

In the chaos of a busy holiday Saturday in the shop, a skein of Juniper Moon Farm Patagonia found itself sitting with a pile of unpacked Noro Tabi.
