New Free Patterns for MKG Members
One of the perks of being a Minnesota Knitters’ Guild Member is free patterns!
Visit the Exclusive Pattern Page of the Members Area to download these three winning patterns from our Great Guild Getaway Design Contest.
Whispering White Pines Socks by Elise Frederick
Lace Cowl with Faux Cabled Edge by Jane Niemi
Minnesota Mosquito Socks by Anna Smegal
All of the patterns were designed to use our 2017 Great Guild Getaway Yarn, North Shore Winter, which was custom dyed by Three Irish Girls. We will have a limited quantity of the yarn available for sale at the Guild table at Yarnover.
Stitch N Pitch with the Twins is sold out!
