Noteworthy

A Remark You Made is proud to announce that Up North Mittens

is creating a line of mittens featuring a variety of

our handmade tree branch buttons.

These eco-friendly mittens are made from recycled  wool sweaters

that contain at least 70% wool, and she searches high and low to find them.

A Remark You Made is pleased to congratulate one of its customers!

Alana, owner of Never Not Knitting, designed a sweater for Spud and Chloë.

Her "Best Friend Sweater" pattern is finally published.

This sweet-as-can-be sweater features
handmade oak tree branch buttons from A Remark You Made.

Congratulations, Alana!

This is a great little cardigan because, like all of Alana's other children's patterns,

it is knit in one piece! Even the pockets are knitted in. It's unisex, cozy and warm.

The Spud and Chloe Sweater yarn is a perfect choice for children's garments.

All of the pattern information can be found HERE on the Spud and Chloë website.

All of the Spud and Chloë patterns can be purchased through your local yarn shop.
