Trinigan

Andrea Mowry’s new pattern came out and I am a bit obsessed. I must admit that I wasn’t sure from the sneak peeks but now that I see it finished I want to make it. 

I often begin the design process by turning to my closet and looking for gaps in my wardrobe. For years I have been wanting a pull-on-over-anything jacket style cardigan with wide sleeves and easy worn-open style. But make it fashion - with a marled back drop and color changing mosaic colorwork! 

This cardigan is knit from the bottom up, seamlessly except for underarms. The body and yoke are worked flat and the sleeves are picked up and knit in the round. The colorwork is achieved using the Mosaic knitting method.

You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry (I have mine).

Andrea used Spincycle’s new Trine with Dream State. I have kits of the original colours online. I will try and make more tomorrow if there is time.

Here are some other options

Main Yarn

-Cascade 220 and Cascade 220 Heathers

-Biches & Buches Le Lambswool

-Madelinetosh Vintage

-Malabrigo Rios

-Harrisville Highland

Contrasting colour

-Noro Kureyon

-Noro Ito

-the same yarn you used for the background yarn

Andrea has yarn substitution suggests and mentions Zauberball Starke 6. I’m not sure if it will be too thin against a worsted weight yarn. 

I put together some kits using Cascade 220 Heathers and Ito. You will have Ito leftover and can use it for hats, mitts and/or scarves.

This is Le Lambswool with Dream State. Kits are online and in the store.

I have been asked about another KAL (knit a long) and I think Trinigan is a perfect project.

Here are the guidelines. We will send each person who qualifies a 20% off coupon code for a future purchase when the KAL ends.

1. Yarn to be purchased at the Needle Emporium. Any purchase from today (November 3rd, 2022) qualifies. If you order online then we have you in the system. If you purchase in the store, please make sure that we take your email address.
2. The yarn can be any regular priced worsted weight yarn. 
3. Wear your finished cardigan into the store for pictures. We will post these on the blog.
4. If you live out of town, please have someone take pictures of you in your cardigan for us to post. 
5. If you would like to share pictures while you are knitting I would love to share on the blog.
6. The KAL will end on January 31, 2023

If you participated in the Elah KAL please check your in box. I sent out the discount codes this morning.

Beth informed me at dinner that she will be putting a few yarns on sale on Saturday. What are they? She won’t tell me but did say that she is not picking any worsted weight yarns. She is going to put signs up on Saturday morning. Beth really wants you to come in and see her. The more you purchase the better presents she will get from Vegas.
