It’s that time of year when the holidays seem to start coming at us fast enough to give you whiplash, but there’s still plenty of time to finish some larger gift projects. Whether you’re looking for a great baby blanket, the perfect pillow for a splash of color, or a cozy wrap to take the chill off those late fall evenings, the Soft Landing eBook has just the right patterns for you. We’ve paired simple, but visually stunning stitches with some of the coziest fibers in our Valley Yarns collection.

The Hen Plaid Wrap is knit in Goshen with a surprisingly easy crochet embellishment. The Snowdrop Baby Blanket in Longmeadow is knit on the bias for a fast finish. The Viola Plaid Pillow in Goshen is the perfect small project to practice the same crochet embellishment that’s used in the wrap and it’s great project to play with color. The Seed Plaid Throw in Valley Yarns Southwick achieves the look of plaid by combining textured stitches. And the Thaw Cabled Blanket in Valley Superwash is knit holding 2 strands for a cozy squishiness you won’t believe until you feel it.

All of these patterns are available in the Soft Landing eBook for $11.99 and as individual PDFs for $3.99 each. Which would you knit first?

Steve’s Deal of the Day for this weekend is Valley Yarns Dana, a limited edition, worsted weight superwash wool available in 8 rich colors. This yarn is very similar to our permanent Valley Superwash and can be used interchangeably in the patterns.

Because it is a superwash, Dana is perfect for classic go-to sweaters and households goods. Try the Rosewood Henly, the Laurel Top-down Hoodie, or the Thaw Cabled Blanket. It’s also great for baby items that call for a worsted weight yarn!
