Mohair

Mr. UPS stopped by this morning with two big boxes from Malabrigo. The new mohair is amazing!

It was cold and rainy so I had to do inside pictures.

We knit the Ombré Cowl Hood with 3 balls of Rowan Kidsilk Haze. It would look great with 3 skeins of Malabrigo Mohair.
The pattern is free on Ravelry.
You will be holding 2 strands at once throughout, switching one strand at a time



You can do the Ombré Cowl Hood with one colour of Malabrigo Mohair. 

I have more pattern ideas for the Mohair but need to look at colours again.


While many did a deep dive into sourdough bread baking during quarantine, Julie dove into cables! She wanted ALL the cables, ALL the time – no filler stitch pattern here! The result is Quinn, with over-the-top cables and a relaxed, easy shape. The cables keep things moving along and, once established, are pretty easy to memorize, making Quinn a fun knit with just the right amount of adventure. The shoulders are sloped to avoid a too-boxy fit, and there is no shaping in the body, streamlining both the knitting and the wearing. The resulting cardigan looks impressive but gives up nothing in comfort! 

The cardigan is intended to be worn oversized with approximately 8–10” / 20–25 cm ease around the bust; however, choose a size based on your personal fit preference. Because there is no shaping for the body, keep in mind the circumference measurement should also accommodate your hip circumference. To get smaller measurements, consider knitting at a smaller gauge, or larger gauge for a larger garment. 

This cardigan is amazing! I love cables. I love knitting cables. 

The cardigan was designed by Julie Weisenberger who owns Cocoknits. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.





Have a great evening. I’m moving to the knitting chair. I made it to the third colours on my Inclinations Shawl. I’m not sure if these colours work so I need to knit further. This way I can see how things look after a few more colour changes.
