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.
That sweater Sarah knit is beautiful! I need to check it out!
ReplyDeleteQuestion, she was wearing a sweater in the donegal tweed at the Knitter’s fair last year. Any chance you could get me the pattern name?
The sweater we had in Donegal Tweed is Weekender by Andrea Mowry.
