Happy Saturday

It’s always a happy day when Joji Locatelli has a new pattern.

This light pullover was inspired by my original design, the Elton Cardigan.  

It features the simplest stripes, but I used two very different yarns: a fingering weight (which shows as solid bands) and a lace weight mohair (see through) creating a delicate game of texture.  

The resulting sweater is light as air.

You can purchase the pattern for the Elton Pullover on Ravelry.

For the fingering weight I would suggest

-Madelinetosh Merino Light

-Hedgehog Skinny Singles

-Biches & Buches Le Petit Lambswool

-Uschitita Merino Singles

For the lace weight mohair I would suggest

-Hedgehog Kidsilk Lace

-Hedgehog Alpaca Boucle

-Rowan Kidsilk Haze

-Biches & Buches Le Petit Mohair & Silk

Don’t forget that we will have brand new colours coming from Hedgehog very soon.

It’s been a long day. We were busy in the store - thank you to everyone who visited. Pizza is being delivered and then I am going to knit for a bit.
