Sarah has a new sweater

Meet Magnolia Chunky. Sarah used two skeins of Cascade Eco +

From Sarah

I wanted the bottom of the arm to look more puffed when it was hanging so I ended up using a regular 1x1 rib with 6mm needless and decreased an extra 2 stitches. This way the rib is more snug on my wrist which forces the fabric to hang. 

Only a skein and a half. 8 mm needless. The medium size.

What a great looking sweater!

The Modern Wrapper is a loose-fitting, easy-to-wear piece that is an eternal staple of our winter wardrobe. Whether you leave it as an open cardigan or seam the front, tunic-style, its relaxed, boxy shape makes it endlessly versatile and so, so comfortable! 

The Modern Wrapper is a pattern from Churchmouse Yarns. You can purchase the pattern in the store or on Ravelry.

We often love to wear the Modern Wrapper as a casual layer—a sort of 'round-the-house coat over a t-shirt and leggings or jeans. And if you must leave the house, it dresses up well. Just throw it on over a button-up blouse and add a stylish scarf. 

These versions of our Modern Wrapper—one open, the other seamed at the front—were both knit in Rowan Kid Classic—a worsted-weight yarn with great drape and warmth. Perfect to wrap up in!

Churchmouse's email came this morning and it was perfect timing. Ms. UPS brought in a box from Rowan this morning with two colours of Kid Classic.

The Toronto Knitters Frolic is Saturday April 25. I am busy planning the booth which includes looking back at last years booth. We're going to have new samples and kits. Hopefully a few surprises will arrive in time for the show. I'll share as soon as shipments are confirmed.
