Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,

A few weeks ago I asked you all what you were knitting with Spud & Chloë yarns. I heard from a lot of knitters and I’ve pointed out a few but Andrea Hungerford pretty much takes the cake! Her blog is called, On Blueberry Hill and you can find out more of her project details over there. I want to share a few of her Spud & Chloë projects with you today. Above she used 6 skeins of Outer in the Soapstone colorway to whip up this gorgeous baby blanket.

Andrea used our Jelly Bean Sweater yarn to make the Tea Party Cardi. I want to make one of these for myself someday. I love it.

Above Andrea used Sweater to knit the little sweater called, Chloe. It’s so sweet.

She also knitted the medium version of the Three Brrrr Bears in Sweater yarn. What a great job, Andrea.

Here Andrea knitted up a set that includes a scarf, fingerless mitts, and the Flap Happy Hat. It looks like she took the waffle stitch used in the hat and transferred it into the other items. These are all shades of Sweater and this is the original colorway I knitted the sample in. There is a photo of my original hat on the pattern page on our site. Love it!

Patriotic baby socks? You bet! Andrea used up bits and pieces of her leftover Spud & Chloë Sweater yarn to whip up a bunch of Jelly Bean Baby Socks.

After sharing all of these fantastic projects this is Andrea’s final note in her email:

I’ve knit many more Spud & Chloë projects, including the track jacket, lovey dovey top, playground
hoodie, and lots from Itty Bitty Toys – all on my blog:

Keep it up with the wonderful feeling yarn, wonderful colors, and
wonderful patterns – I can’t wait to knit more Spud & Chloe!

Sincerely,
Andrea Hungerford

Well, thank you, Andrea, for taking the time to share with me so I can share your knitting with all of the readers here. That is some good, good knitting and I can tell that you are having fun.

In the meantime, I finished an adorable little baby hat using up some of the leftovers from the Dream Catcher Baby Blanket. I’ll be back shortly to share this fun pattern with you.

Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,

I want to give you a tiny sneak peek at a few of the new and exciting colorways for the Spud & Chloë yarns today. As always, much thought and consideration goes into each and every color for our yarn line. We had a couple of threads running on Ravelry about colors people would like to see added to the line. There were discussions and test runs conducted. Anyway, all of this boils down to these new colors:

In the Fine, we’re introducing 7814 Shitake and 7815 Red Hot!

In the Outer, there’s 7210 Hedge, 7211 Rocket, and 7212 Sandbox!

In the Sweater, we’ve added 7515 Cider and 7516 Grape Jelly!

All of the new colors will be available in June 2010 so keep your eyes peeled. To go along with the color additions we are adding lots of new and fun patterns for Spud & Chloë as well. The big kick-off is at TNNA in Columbus, Ohio, so if you are attending please be sure to stop by to check everything out. If you aren’t attending TNNA, no worries, I will keep you updated right here on Spud says!

I’ll be sharing more previews on the yarn and the patterns coming up soon. Plus, we are quickly coming up on our first year anniversary which is hard to believe. We have some fun things cooking to help us celebrate. It has been an amazing year, better than we could have imagined.

The best part is that we have only just begun.
