Fall IK preview out

The Fall Interweave Knits preview is up and I can finally share my Farmer's Market Cardigan.

This is knit in Lorna's Laces Green Line Worsted in the Cedar colorway. I loved the Green Line Worsted. It softened up and relaxed after blocking and the nearly solid colors are gorgeous. In fact, I have another Farmer's Market Cardigan for me on the needles right now in the Solitude colorway. My Joss Whedon loving heart almost went with the Firefly color, which is a brighter yellow with a tinge of green -- lovely, but perhaps not the best hue for my skin tone.

I snapped a couple of quick pictures of it on me before sending it off to Interweave.






The shawl collar is knit in a reversible diagonal cable that tilts in opposite directions on either side of the center and trims the tops of the generous, folded up pockets. I didn't want to detract from the drama of the collar, so the rest of the cardigan is knit in plain stockinette (great TV knitting!) with turned hems for the edging.

My friend, Melissa, has a great coat in this issue too.

A Knitter's Helper

My next door neighbors and their adorable pugs moved out last week. I'm heartbroken. I puppysat them their last day in the apartment complex so their owners could pack up in peace. Here's Savannah helping me with my knitting. Isn't she adorable?
