Isabell Kraemer has a new sweater and you can purchase the pattern on Ravelry. This looks like a comfy sweater.
Shaun is worked seamlessly from the top down.
After the high neck is complete, a few short rows are worked back and forth to create a slightly higher back neck. The yoke is worked in the round with contiguous set in sleeves (developed by Susie Myers) to sleeve separation. The body is then worked in rounds down to the ribbing. Sleeves are worked top down to the long cuffs last. No finishing required.
Isabel used an unspun yarn with mohair. Her suggested tension is 15 stitches = 4”. I have not swatched but I think these will work
Cascade 220 or Malabrigo Rios with a mohair
Cascade Eco on its own
Malabrigo Chunky or Mecha on its own.
Please swatch because you might need to change needle size to get the proper tension. Isabel is suggesting a 4.5mm needle but I think you might need larger - maybe all the way to 6mm.
This is Do Ewe Yoke? #2 from Zanete Knits and you can purchase the pattern on Ravelry. It was a MKAL and the final sweater has just been revealed.Say hello to Do Ewe Yoke? No. 2, the second Mystery Yokalong. This one’s another geometric stranded colourwork design with some fun new techniques sprinkled in—perfect for anyone who loves a creative challenge!
It was originally released in 7 weekly clues that slowly reveal the final design—like unwrapping a little surprise every week.
It’s been another adventure to remember!
Each clue also has a set of video tutorials packed with tips and techniques to help you along the way.
The sweater calls for sport weight yarn but many knitters used fingering weight yarn for the main colour. The original was knit with Dyed in the Wool for the colourwork. You can use Crazy Zauberball or Zauberball Starke 6. You can also make your own fade with fingering weight yarns.
I spent time today getting the new Rowan yarns and books online for the release tomorrow. They will be live at midnight. I didn’t get two magazines up and should be able to do it in the morning.

I saw this online today. New Lykke needles are coming - probably in September. I will contact my sales rep tomorrow about ordering them.
We’re watching Matlock from last week. Then I’m going downstairs to see my sewing room. My table was set up on Tuesday and I haven’t seen it yet.
