Liz is knitting this sweet little sweater from Interweave Knits Winter 2009, in a yarn we are very excited to get back in stock soon: Road to China Worsted by The Fibre Company.
This yarn is a super-soft blend of 65% baby alpaca, 15% silk, 10% camel and 10% cashmere. Lovely!
Liz is raving about how fun this yarn is to knit with. Seriously, she’s in love!
The pattern is Bells of Ireland Cardigan by Courtney Kelley, which is a bottom-up raglan knit in one piece with very minimal finishing.
In the picture below you can see where Liz put her underarm stitches on a stitch holder, those will be grafted when she’s done knitting.
Here’s the issue of Interweave she found this pattern in.
Come by the store and see this beautiful work in progress!
Check out the wondrous Road to China yarn when we get it in–we’re hoping it will be here within the next couple weeks! We’ll have five lovely colors to chose from.
We just got a bunch of Lorna’s Laces variegated hand dyes, Shepherd Worsted and Shepherd Sock!
We’re also anticipating the following new items: The Fibre Company’s Terra, Mirasol’s Miski, Mountain Colors sock yarn “Bearfoot”, new buttons, lots of new knitting bags and cases from Offhand, including their new interchangeable needle case called Switch.
