WIPs: now with 17% more texture!
Notre Dame de Grace in Cascade Ecological wool is in the final finishing stretch: seaming. That’s the completed collar and the first sleeve “pinned” to the body.
Usually I finish one garment before starting another, but I had the desire to knit and not seam after work in the evenings, so the back of the Sebasco vest is completed in Wool of the Andes in claret. That’s daisy stitch (BW #1, p 153) along the bottom edge.
And I’m slowly working my way through Jared Flood’s Guernsey Wrap, which is knit and purl ’til you drop. How I like things!
The yarn is Quince and Co. Lark in Lupine. I love this yarn, the colors are fabulous, and the price is very good. I like it so much, I asked my parent’s for some for a sweater for Christmas last year.
12 skeins of Lark in Rosa Rusgosa! I think this will become a Crane Creek cardigan just as soon as Sebasco is done. That pattern has texture too with a diamond brocade pattern and double moss stitch collar and bands.
Texture everywhere!
Blue and orange safety pins. How very Illini-ish. Didn’t know you had it in you.
I love the blue lupine yarn and the guernsey wrap is coming along very nicely. You will have some very nice knitwear this winter!
Texture, texture, read all about it! 🙂
Brenda- I’ve sort of just discovered the Lark yarn, and will be making Lorna Suzanne- so your yarn review is appreciated.
I love textured knits, too — and your projects are just lovely. Thanks for the update — can’t wait to see them progress!
Beautiful texture! I almost knit Notre Dame de Grace, in the same yarn and color.
Notre Dame de Grace is lovely, I’ve always thought it was such a beautifully textured pattern.
(I also want to knit it because my mother was born and raised in the “Notre Dame de Grace” area of Montreal, for which this sweater is named!)
Nice use of texture, too! It seems interesting but not over-the-top in your projects. Thanks for suggesting a new yarn. I am always on the look out for something new to try.
