Happy Saturday

Tanis Lavallee has a new pattern called Terranova that you can purchase on Ravelry.

The name of the game for this sweater design is simple, comfortable, easy to wear, flattering shape elevated with a touch of elegance through simple details. The cables start at the neckline and travel down the raglan all the way to the hem. The knitted on cable edgings all around the pretty boatneck and cuffs are such a neat alternative to ribbing. Simple details that add up to a perfectly elegant yet easy to wear sweater. 

This sweater is knit seamlessly from the top down. The neckline is shaped with short rows and then the yoke is knit in the round. Sleeve stitches are set aside, underarm stitches are cast on and the body is completed. Sleeve stitches are then picked up and knit down to the cuff. Lastly, stitches are picked up around the neckline and the neck edge finishing is worked.

 

The sweater is very size inclusive.

The sweater is knit in DK weight yarn and you have many options. Here are all the yarns we have that would work.

Sarah is making progress on John’s sleeve. She commented that she wishes she was knitting it for herself and not John. I have a feeling she will be making another one when she’s finished.

There is a bit of green peeking through in the garden. I bet they wish they were hiding today. The wind here is cold. They will be happier next week when the temperatures go up.
