I wanted to thank anyone who bought Captiva Wrap over the last few weeks , donations from the sales came to $154 which I was very happy to send to MSF this morning. I am very glad to be able to send a little more.
I seem to be juggling a lot of different projects at the moment, all at different stages. I send off another secret project last week, however I think I might start a new version of it for myself with some cascade eco + I have here from last year. It is a lovely deep purple, it would be wonderful for everyday wear but I think too dark to photograph well. I wish I got more time to knit for myself, I am almost afraid to wear anything I do finish on the off chance that I might need it for display! I think that it’s about time my knits got a bit more wearing.
Before Christmas I finished a lightweight sweater for my sister. She recently returned to office work and was looking for a stylish lightweight top for everyday wear. I know that she loves turquoise and I found the most perfect shade of Turquoise in Cascade Heritage sock yarn.
I know it is knit in sock yarn…BUT it is at a loose gauge (for lovely stretch and drape) and the 36 inch size takes just under 3 skeins. Not a bad price for a new sweater!
It is knit in one piece (body knit from the hem up), with set-in sleeves knit from the top down in the round after the body if finished. Lots of fun and not too complex so a good one for knitting on the go.
It will be a couple more weeks before we finish the final layout but it has been tech edited so it is getting close to being ready to release.
Very intriguing! Looking forward to seeing the pattern.
You already know I love this top but you design things faster than I can knit them!
We need to get you more knitting time!
