what does someone who is undeniably dedicated to all things woolie year round do when she feels some spring fever coming on?
size 10.5 needles
4 oz of my hand dyed handspun – PA animal friendly shetland – and 2/3 of a really sheepy skein of farm wool – perhaps the best photo for color is the one not in the sun, pictured in the post below this one
seamless top down, inspired by this pattern
i had a completely different gauge and just winged most of it. when i ran out of the handspun, i switched to the farm wool. i then worked a bunch of 1×1 rib to repeat the pattern of the collar and to make up for the difference in gauge. at the bottom edge, i worked garter stitch. to draw the two garter stitch edges together and give it a finished look.
welcome spring!
i’m also thinking of this and this. and i might be distracted by this. and maybe i’m dreaming of this too. (all ravelry links)
p.s. the winners for the name game are up! click here and then click on the picture of the yarn to see them. if you want the yarn you named, give me an email at cosyknitsliterally (!at) gmail (dot!) com and we’ll work it all out.
