A little bit of everything

Andrea Mowry’s new pattern Alpenglow went live this morning.

Alpenglow is like a charcuterie board, with a little bit of everything to satisfy your knitty appetite! Stranded colorwork, mosaic knitting, corrugated ribbing and more. This sweater is hard to put down, as you crave just one more row! 

This 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 yoke. The circular yoke is adorned with a stranded colorwork motif, and then you switch to mosaic knitting that is continued thru the body and sleeves. You will separate the sleeves, placing them on hold while the body is finished all the way down to the corrugated ribbing hem. The sleeves are then returned to the needles, picking up stitches for the underarm and worked down to the cuff. The collar is picked up from the cast on edge and worked long enough to be doubled over for a hemmed collar.

You can purchase the pattern on Andrea’s website. 

If you are looking for colour inspiration, take a look at the finished projects on Ravelry.

While I don’t believe clothing needs to be gender specific, I have received many requests for more of my sweater patterns to have a “mens” version, including broader shoulders, deeper yokes and longer sleeves and bodies. My goal is to include more sizes to fit an even greater range of body types!

You can purchase the men’s version on Andrea’s website. 

Here are a few of the kits that I put together. 

You can find the kits on the website.. 

This is Jasmine who works for Spincycle. The Alpenglow that she is wearing was knit with a background colour and one colour of Dyed in the Wool - Ghost Ranch. No contrast colour. No mohair/silk blend. I love this version!! 

Elah is calling - Knit Me, Knit Me! It’s time to move to the knitting chair and get a few rows in.
