Greenleaf

Greenleaf is a new pattern from Jennifer Steingass. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Greenleaf is a top down and seamless stranded yoke sweater featuring big, graphic leaves. Have fun choosing seasonally inspired yarn and colors or choose something more neutral for year-round wear. Options for short or long sleeves are given with choice of ribbed or colorwork sleeve cuffs. The chart for this design is particularly simple, great for those who are new to stranded knitting.

Jennifer knit the sweater in Le Petit Lambswool. We have the colours in stock that she used for her sample. You can use any fingering weight yarn. For the colourwork you can use Dyed in the Wool or Zauberball Starke 6.

Jennifer writes a great pattern and you will enjoying making any of her designs.

It’s been a long day. We were up at 5 to get Beth out the door to the airport. Dad took the dogs to the office and I went to his house to meet the movers for 7:30. His condo has been cleared out. 

Dad and Beth decided that they wanted his couch at our house so they packed up the couch, brought it to our house and then took our couches. Boscoe and Fred approve.

After the couch swap I had an hour lay down before heading back to dad’s to clear out the last few things. It’s a good thing I did because we left a picture hanging on the wall. And it wasn’t any picture. Years ago someone painted a picture of my dad playing golf. It’s a beautiful picture and we have the perfect spot for it in the new house. I was sad locking up but good things are ahead.

Now back to my squares. I’m over halfway. I’d love to have it ready to put on the couch when we list our house next week.
