Top Down

Illuminate went live this morning. Wow. You can purchase the pattern on Andrea’s website.

Ethereal mohair glows against the deep and moody backdrop of merino wool to create a round yoke jumper that dissolves into stripes. Illuminate, the 4th annual DreaReneeKnits x Magpie Fibers x Spincycle Yarns Rhinebeck collaborations sweater, is knit from the top down (meaning you can try it on as you go and add length to suit your own personal style!), beginning with the collar. The circular yoke is adorned with stranded colorwork (worked from a CHART ONLY), and then you will separate the sleeves placing them on hold while the body is finished with alternating stripes. The sleeves are then returned to the needle, picking up stitches for the underarm for a totally seamless sweater!

Kits are available on the website. If you want to put together your own colours I made a chart showing the amount of yarn needed.


Tonight’s post is going to be short. I was posting on the Toronto Knitters Guild Instagram account today. Make sure you check out their latest post about the Frolic.


Now a few rows of knitting. Cinnabar is almost finished.
