Swirling Pebbles! Project #4 2016 Christmas Present CAL!

by 3 Comments

It’s time for the Swirling Pebbles Beanie using the Sweet Roll yarn by Premier! It’s a fun yarn with no worries of changing colors because the yarn does it for you! If you saw the supply list the other day, you may have noticed that I gave you a sneak peak of the scarf to match the Swirling Pebbles Beanie! After you finish the beanie, stash the remainder of the yarn just for a little while because the scarf pattern comes out next week! Yep, I just used what I had left. Of course, you can always get another cake and make yours wider if you want!

There are lots of beautiful colors of the Sweet Roll yarn too! Be sure to scroll down below the pattern to see a drop-down menu of the yarn. You can even add some to your cart while your there and enjoy a 10% discount using the code ELK10 given to me by Premier! I hope you have as much fun with the yarn as I have!

2016 Christmas Present CAL Project #4 Supply List!

by 5 Comments

It’s time to get started with Project #4 in the Christmas Present CAL!  Remember when I shared a photo on my Facebook page and in the group of the Sweet Roll Cake that I received from Premier Yarns the other day? It was really exciting to sit down and start playing with the yarn to see what type of design I could make.  It was agreed upon that I would design and hat and scarf….so off I went.  I had never played with the long color changing yarn in a worsted weight, so I wasn’t sure what it would do….but I really did love the look of it once I finished the projects.

I think definitely one of the “perks” of using the Sweet Roll Yarn is the color scheme is already picked out for you!  Sometimes I’m just not sure if “this” color really matches “that” color and end up not buying them but with the Sweet Roll…..it’s as simple as saying to yourself, “Oh, that looks so pretty” and adding them to your cart!

You’ll love all the variety and coordination of the colors too.  They are amazing and really allow the beauty of the yarn to shine through each stitch!

Be sure to scroll all the way down for a surprise!

Do you want to see all the wonderful colors available in the Sweet Roll Cakes?  No problem…. Although you are just seeing one color, you can hit the drop-down menu and look at the others too! There are at least 25 different colors in which to choose!

Want to know one of the best parts? If you use the code ELK10,  you’ll get a 10% discount on your order! Woo Hoo! More yarn goodness from ELK Studio and Premier Yarns!

After scrolling through all the beautiful colors choices, scroll below for the supply list and maybe even a sneak peek at the next project in the Christmas Present CAL!

 

 

 

Supply List:

  • Premier Sweet Roll, 140 grams/245 yards, #4 Worsted weight, 100% Acrylic, Peaches and Cream Pop
  • I Hook/5.5 mm
  • Tapestry needle for weaving in the ends.

Here's a hint.  I did the hat and scarf using ONE skein of the Sweet Roll!  Once the pattern comes out next week and you finish the hat, just set the yarn aside and you'll have enough to make the scarf you see below.  Unless, of course, you want a wider scarf then you may need to get two!
