We’ve been having the pleasure of displaying a bunch of samples for various Vivian Hoxbro kits, many of which use shadow knitting techniques. All the kits are made with New England Knitters Shetland yarns unless otherwise noted. You really have to see these in person, but here’s a sneak peek to lure you in:

Cables is a one-size swingy sweater with deep slits on the sides and multi-textural elements (as you can see in the artsy closeup).

Using modular knitting techniques, this one-color vest called Ida uses texture and open areas to create visual interest. This kit uses a 50/50 silk/wool blend and comes in three sizes.

Knitter’s Angles is uniquely constructed and wraps around easily for any size.

One of our favorites, the Rainbow Jacket is a comfortably boxy jacket that comes in two sizes: S/M: 49″ or L/XL: 56″ (finished measurements).

Want more shadow-knitting-action? The Shadows Jacket is perfect. Comes in two sizes, 39½” & 42½” (finished). I would wear this with a shawl pin to really show off the shadowing in the front!

I can say from personal experience how well the Wing Shawl III keeps you warm without falling off your shoulders (after wearing this to dash out and bring in the sign one evening).

And lastly (for the samples, at least…we have more kit types than samples!), the Zig Zag Vest, knitted modularly with just a touch of color.

All of the above will be added to the online store shortly, or else come and visit us to try them on yourself!
