Joji Locatelli has a new pattern. You can purchase the pattern for Orson on Ravelry.
Orson is my first design using a Compound Raglan Construction. I started with frequent increases, placed close together at the top of the yoke. Then I slowed the pace, letting the fabric settle into its rhythm, until the shaping picks up again just before the armholes. The changes are subtle, but they shape the sweater into something that feels very natural when worn.
There’s also a complex cable running down the front and back. It’s the kind of stitch pattern that makes you stop and pay attention, the kind that keeps your hands engaged and your mind present.
The sweater is knit in worsted weight yarn so your options are endless.

I had a great day in the store. It was busy from the minute we opened until closing time. Thanks to everyone who visited. Now a bit of knitting. I’m trying to get further on the project I talked about a few days ago so I can show you want it’s going to be.
