Around and Around

We have a new sock book in the store.

They are fun to make, quick to finish and always needed — no wonder so many knitters love socks! 

52 Weeks of Socks, Vol. II offers even more inspiration for all sock enthusiasts. It is a colourful and abundant collection of patterns from a diverse group of interna­tional designers. Using a variety of different techniques and yarns, the book has something for both beginners and advanced knitters.








Here is Andrea Mowry’s Tessellated Sweater. Kits are available on the website. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.
I’ve looked at finished projects on Ravelry. Here are some observations
-Fingering weight yarn will work.
-There are some knitters who left out the fluffy yarn. One knitter used a solid colour for the ribbing and then two multi-colours.

Not everyone wants to used Dyed in the Wool. You can use Zauberball Starke 6 or Edition 3 for the multi-coloured yarn.
Here are pictures of the Tessellated Vest (pattern purchased on Ravelry). My sweater observations will also work for the vest.

I took a quick picture of my sweater. The colourwork is finished and I’m knitting around and around. You can see that blocking will be required.
