Liberty

There are two new colours of Liberty from Classic Elite. We should have them in the store next week. If you feel like skipping knitting for the summer and want to start getting ready for fall, here are two cardigans for you.


Deep Rib Cardigan
This cardigan is worked from the top down with back and fronts are worked separately to underarm then joined so remainder of body is worked in one piece to lower edge. Stitches are picked up around each armhole to work the sleeve in the round and the sleeve cap is shaped with short rows.


Raglan Cardigan
A stockinette stitch raglan cardigan with center panels, on both front and back, worked from side to side in garter stitch.
These patterns are free with yarn purchase and exclusively available from LYS’s participating in the Liberty Wool subscription program from Classic Elite Yarns (which we do). In May, these patterns will be available for purchase as a PDF on Ravelry. 

7872 Teal Chameleon
7873 Rosy Delight

What a beautiful day. There is a small part of me that keeps saying 'close the store and go play'. No sweater today. No socks. Is spring finally here? Apparently not because it's going to get cold again on Tuesday but I'll take it while we can get it.
