Happy Friday

This is the Marble Sweater from PetiteKnit. You can knit this sweater over the holidays. It looks warm and cozy!

Marble Sweater is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke. The neck edge is knitted together, and short rows are worked along the back of the neck to shape the neckline.

I need to play with yarns to see what will get the required tension but here are a few thoughts

Rowan Big Wool plus 2 strands of Kidsilk Haze.
Rowan Soft Boucle with Cascade 220 Superwash Merino. I think this might need one more strand.

This afternoon I put together some kits for Beth’s Crazy Scarf. This is a super simple knit using 2 different colours of Zauberball Crazy. Here are my combinations or you can create your own.

I also put together kits for Andrea Mowry’s Junction.

These kits use Le Cashmere & Lambswool with Dyed in the Wool.
This sweater is knit from the top down, in the round, with a folded collar, two color brioche yoke and stranded colorwork body and sleeves. You will separate the sleeves placing them on hold while the body is finished with a simple slip stitch textured pattern. The sleeves are then returned to the needle, picking up stitches for the underarm for a totally seamless sweater!

My knitting chair is calling.
