Grass Lake, Michigan is home to cjkoho Designs’ studio, where Carla creates beautiful hand painted and kettle dyed yarns.Carla once told me that her love ofcolor has her hoping to“ bathe the world in color” with the creations she dreams upin her studio.The Grass Lake chart makes good use of color, allowing the knitter to knit as written, or pick colors that make their heart sing—a little bit like those adult coloring books that seem to be in every book store these days…but with knitting.

The larger than traditional knitting gauge makes Grass Lake a speedy knit for adding to the gift box, or for using up small bits of color you may have lingering in y0ur leftovers.Foran extra special treat, plan a trip to visit Carla in her studio and let her help you pick out a palate to suit your personal style.You may want topick out a few extra colors; I suspect you’ll be knitting more than one just to see how the next grouping of colors knits up.They’re addictive.Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
