Plenty of Projects
When we participate in Vogue Knitting Live’s online event part of the vendor presentation involves showing plenty of projects that are knit in our yarns. It’s a great way to inspire people with interesting project ideas, different designers and pattern possibilities. And of course to show off our gorgeous yarns.
Forestland
Designed by Jennifer Steingass this is a top down knit sweater. Lynn used Cowgirlblues Merino DK in Mustard as her Main Colour, and did the pattern detail in Guinea Fowl. She knit it in size C and used 6 x 100g skeins, 5 skeins in Mustard (~850m) and 1 skein (~170m) in Guinea Fowl.
You can find the pattern on Ravelry.
Jaycee
Designed by Isabel Kraemer this button-front cardigan is also a top-down knit with a short section of stitch detail at the yoke, at the hem and on the cuffs. The rest of the project is a straightforward stocking stitch knit. Margaret knitted this project in Cowgirlblues Merino Twist (it works beautifully for many of Isabel Kraemer’s patterns) in Dusty Rose, and she used 7 x 50g balls for size M2.
You can find the pattern on Ravelry.
