Begin at the corner and knit sideways while working increases and decreases to form the waves. Eyelets decorate the fabric and a soft fluidity to the fabric. I-cord edges frame the asymmetrical triangle shape for a crisp clean look. The pattern is written for five colorways, but you can use as many colors as you like. The size is easy to customize by binding off early for a shorter shawl or knit more pattern repeats for a large luxurious shlanket.</blockquote><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Experience the meditative flow of colourwork that cascades past sleeve separation, creating a canvas of artful transitions against the steady pace of worsted-weight yarn. As a relatively quick knit, this piece is perfect for those looking to balance their desire for intricate design with the satisfaction of a timely completion. Worked seamlessly from the top down, each stitch brings you closer to a masterful blend of comfort and style.</span></blockquote><p>The sweater is knit in a worsted weight yarn. Rios and Cascade 220 are great options. If you like the striped/marled colours in the sweater you <b>could</b> try holding two strands of fingering with a strand of mohair/silk. This might give you the correct tension - I haven’t swatched but I think it will work.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6ux2UGzl1eIUBdhMwipn1ZQ1XxENb9Qk6Z4JqKW6Lvrcwx9GaHqVtMwThLw4csK95bh7u1LY_ex__MhQUiYSzHV-1u1pmpDxFRvcY52VLRavKol2TlKpkgHX8X9c2hXI05NlZMIuEj_fihmlBGcQO_msQ6BDiduPhsyFTzHA8zGBHlurG7BKo/s640/IMG_5903.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em;

The use of mohair skeins creates a piece that is as warm as it is light, offering an unparalleled wearing experience.</span></p></blockquote><p>There are 6 colours of Mohair/Kidsilk in the coat and you are holding two strands together when knitting. I am sure that we could come up with some great colourways using Rowan Kidsilk Haze. I will play with that when I get home next week.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN5ibx1H5DN4NVN03jpfD_jJuRgb4_pTjJQUI3zIc2laqF8sA8uOjf1DGPsK2AJgEgiQnaz91cGwcZVF9eMSAWTsTiLIAlPIQeWd4H61cwIRqSp_UQliBdRM5brO06FNsCA9pMjkMd0ji3UUbgPO1ClUCl84XafxbWwQctGw0ga7igRyg25GQa/s640/IMG_5864.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Well, now that I’ve done it, I don’t know what I was afraid of! These sister crafts were meant to work together and I am beyond thrilled with the results. This sweater combines just the right amount of unique challenges with easy, mindless stockinette stitch. I’m in my Granny era and I love it!</blockquote><p>Tanis used a DK weight yarn for the crocheted granny squares and a worsted weight yarn for the knit portion. You can use as many or few colours as you’d like for the crochet. Don’t forget that you can double fingering weight (sock yarn) and that makes DK. <a href="https://www.needleemporium.com/collections/cascade/products/220-superwash-merino" target="_blank">Cascade 220 Superwash Merino</a> would work great for the knit part. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The lifeline is the most important line in palm reading, and it is the star of these mittens. The thumb gusset is easy to work and creates a clean ridge along your lifeline. If you are looking for a mitten adventure, I predict you will find what you seek in the Palmistry mittens. The Palmistry pattern includes instructions for fingerless or full mittens. This pattern looks great in solids and speckles, but is particularly fun in self-striping yarn.</span></span></blockquote><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdcWGDtCnvbTJ7ajvboC6kwAWdvj3hPSzXZEO1tJ_PgBg74R2L78DdP94n2vqhvKhumZfeH-WB75KzzWPVuZsTAZpoHdGbe6yxCjfunvAS8Met8UEMMYDZJ-trLanh5ADrNSaN3w1C4lPUNNjD8YVfSdgW6HRe0u0M0n76Qshz41hJqxI33JAv/s4032/IMG_0031.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdcWGDtCnvbTJ7ajvboC6kwAWdvj3hPSzXZEO1tJ_PgBg74R2L78DdP94n2vqhvKhumZfeH-WB75KzzWPVuZsTAZpoHdGbe6yxCjfunvAS8Met8UEMMYDZJ-trLanh5ADrNSaN3w1C4lPUNNjD8YVfSdgW6HRe0u0M0n76Qshz41hJqxI33JAv/w480-h640/IMG_0031.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br />I’m flying to Vegas on Saturday night.

Four colors of fingering weight wool and one color of lace weight mohair silk are striped together throughout fabric. The mohair silk yarn adds a delicate and fluid drape to the fabric. I used Punk Rock Unicorn’s Soul base for the four wool colors and their Moe base for the fluffy mohair halo. Increases and decreases form the mountainous peaks and valleys in the shawl. Each section features a variation of the yarn over placements to create large yarn overs in some sections and little eyelets in others. There are so many fun color options to try with this beautiful shawl shape.

Her answer is the Project Wallet. This standing accordion pouch is ideal for organizing all of the tools and needles needed for any knit or crochet project - whether traveling or at home. It's small enough to throw into your project bag, but big enough to fit everything you'll need. With 11 pockets and 3 removable tabbed folders, it expands to hold all the tools and notions for your current project. The top flap extends over the pockets and is secured with a waxed cotton cord that winds around an all-natural corozo button. It stands upright on a flat surface when expanded for easy access. Made of the same washable kraft paper fabric as many of our popular products; it is easy to clean and eco-friendly.</span></span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(29, 29, 29);

This stashbusting delight is the sibling to our cherished fingering weight <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/voyage-9">Voyage cardigan</a>, embodying the same zest for creative expression. Voyage Pullover isn’t just another project; it’s an adventure that beckons you to explore the far reaches of your stash offering endless opportunities to mix and match ALL your yarn scraps, minis, and stash, creating a truly unique piece.</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: var(--line-height-base); margin-bottom: var(--line-height-base-rem) !important; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #800180; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: var(--line-height-base); margin-bottom: var(--line-height-base-rem) !important; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #800180; font-family: inherit;">The design of Voyage Pullover is intentionally crafted to be welcoming to knitters at any level. We’ve translated the motifs from our Voyage Cardigan into a straightforward, seamless, top-down, in-the-round experience. With this pullover, we celebrate beginner-friendly colorwork motifs that remove the usual concerns of long floats. Delight in a “paint by numbers” experience, knowing there are no floats to catch.</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: var(--line-height-base); margin-bottom: var(--line-height-base-rem) !important; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #800180; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: var(--line-height-base); margin-bottom: var(--line-height-base-rem) !important; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #800180; font-family: inherit;"><strong>Construction:</strong> We begin with a ribbed collar followed by basic German short rows for comfy neckline shaping. From there, we work the yoke in the round to the sleeve split. After setting aside the sleeve stitches, the body is worked to your chosen length and completed with a ribbed hem. Sleeves are then picked up and knit in the round, allowing for easy adjustments and a perfect fit.</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: var(--line-height-base); margin-bottom: var(--line-height-base-rem) !important; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #800180; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: var(--line-height-base); margin-bottom: var(--line-height-base-rem) !important; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #800180; font-family: inherit;"><strong>Stashbusting:</strong> Voyage Pullover’s magic lies in its boundless potential for personalization. This pattern is a treasure trove for stashbusters. We invite you to dive into your collection of colors, bases, and yarns, mixing and matching to your heart’s content. <strong>As long as you swatch and meet the gauge, feel free to mix and match yarns.</strong> Combine two strands of fingering weight yarns for one color and use a DK for the other, or incorporate single strands of Sport or Worsted to expand your available yardage. Add your own motifs or play with your favorite hues; Voyage Pullover is a pattern ripe for interpretation. Unleash your creativity, and let the wonder of your yarn stash guide you to colorful new horizons.</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: var(--line-height-base); margin-bottom: var(--line-height-base-rem) !important; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #800180; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: var(--line-height-base); margin-bottom: var(--line-height-base-rem) !important; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #800180; font-family: inherit;"><strong>Fit:</strong> We imagine Voyage as your favorite versatile pullover, offering a balance between cozy comfort and a great fit. For this reason, we recommend 4” - 8” of positive ease, to achieve a relaxed, every day look.

Now I need to do the armhole and neck ribbing. Unfortunately I couldn’t find my needle so I have to wait and get a new one at work tomorrow. One day I’ll get my needles in order!!</p><p>Today was a very relaxing day. Now I’m off to watch the end of the Daytona 500 and finish knitting another project. The shawl I’m knitting with the Smalliday Set from Emma’s is almost done. It was so close weeks ago and has been sitting in a basket. I’m going to cast it off tonight and I’m hoping that the nice person who blocks for me will take it home on Friday 😀.
