Karla

Meet Karla. This gorgeous cabled sweater is knit in Rowan Felted Tweed. The pattern came out in 2014 but it stands the test of time. Lynn took Karla home and freshened her up with a soak in Soak. 

You can also knit Karla in Kidsilk Haze - holding two strands together.

The pattern is in Rowan’s Rowan Loves…Kidsilk Haze & Felted Tweed book. The book is no longer in print but you can purchase individual patterns or the whole book on Ravelry.

A collection 9 designs featuring a selection of beautiful garments and accessories by Sarah Hatton, which can be knitted in Felted Tweed or the Kidsilk Haze in either of the two garment options given for each design.

We have everything packed for Camp. Tomorrow morning I’m meeting dad at the store to load the Expedition. In the past I drove Big Blue - the ugly van that I borrowed from the construction company. Big Blue isn’t able to make the trip anymore so now I have the company’s Expedition. It’s not shiny and new but it will get me to Camp and I can load it up with lots of boxes. My only complaint is that the radio doesn’t work. Nothing. Dead air. 

It was one year ago that I was knitting the front bands on my Spark Cardigan. It is packed to wear at Camp.

Beth thought it was cute when baby Jackson had my yarn in his mouth. Thankfully he learned that yarn is bad. 😀 Boscoe leaves yarn alone 99.9% of the time. He loves Spincycle Yarns and last week I found him walking around with a skein of Dyed in the Wool in his mouth.

Now I need to do a load of laundry and pack my suitcase. I’ll try to blog during the weekend.
