Happy Saturday

We sold our house! It’s a happy day to see the sold sign. The move won’t be happening until March but we’re so happy that we don’t have to clean the house every morning in case people want to come through. We love Jackson but he leaves hair everywhere.

Isabell Kraemer has a new pattern called Heimathafen and you can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Starting with the neck shaping, short rows are worked back and forth to create a higher back neck. The yoke is then worked in the round to sleeve separation. Increases are worked in the main color part of the yoke. The lower part of the yoke is shaped with raglan increases. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold to work the body top down. The 7/8 sleeves (feel free to reduce/add length) are worked top down in rounds to the cuffs. No finishing required.

The sweater is knit in fingering weight yarn so your options are limitless. 

I’m wearing another Isabell Kraemer design as I’m writing - Elah. Isabell writes an amazing pattern and her understanding of sizing is incredible. 

I cast on my Traveler Cowl last night. It is the perfect plane knitting. I really want to work on it while I’m in the store today but I don’t think Lynn will let me.

I was able to get the colour I’m knitting with (Rabbit Hole) online.

Lynn is wearing our Traveler Cowl knit with one ball of Starke 6. It is a great alternative to those who don’t want to knit with Spincycle.

I’m leaving from the store at 3pm to head to the airport. I’ll be early but I don’t want to worry if there is traffic. Then I’ll have lots of time to knit!
