Long Sleeves or Short Sleeves?

This is the Dream Team Top - a new pattern from Tanis Lavallee. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

The Dream Team Top combines so many of my favourite things. As a designer I love working with colour. Bonus points for high impact colour achieved in the simplest way, stripes! My first sample features a lush turtleneck and generous folded over ribbed cuffs for a cozy, cold weather staple. To make it more Springtime appropriate I knit a second version in a spicy palette with a crewneck and short sleeves. Gotta love the versatility! The graphic shoulder detail where the stripes intersect at interesting angles has me hooked. This pattern feature all of my dream sweater elements and I couldn’t be happier with it.

The sweaters are knit in DK weight yarn so you can use wool or cotton depending on the season you are knitting for. 

Lynn’s sweater is growing. She has divided for the sleeves and has relaxing knitting now.

The dining room table is covered with things I need to pack for my cruise. Medications - there are a lot of these. There are my prescriptions and then anything else I might need. Aspirin. Stomach medications. Polysporin. Icy Spray. I could open a small pharmacy. Sunscreen. Aloe. Knitting. Chocolate for my room attendant. All the important things. Tomorrow I will start bringing down clothes. 4 more sleeps!!! 

Now a bit of knitting. I was in the store most of the day making more kits. I’ll go again in the morning to try and get the kits finished. Then off to have my hair cut. After that I need to write a newsletter. 

Have a good evening. I hope you are having fun playing with yarn.
