A New Knit-Along?

Now that moving is finished and the shop is all unpacked (again), I think it is time to get back to the good stuff... Knitting!! It was really nice to see everyone's finished sweaters from our spring knit-along, so I thought it was time for another one!!
The weather in Connecticut today is cold and rainy and all I can think about it a cozy cardigan to wrap myself in, I'm thinking a shawl collar for extra cozy-ness. Take a look at these three sweaters:

The first is a pattern called Iced. This cozy sweater is knit in a bulky yarn from the top down. Cast on at the neck edge and increase for the sleeves (a similar concept to our last knit-along). It is plain sweater with a relaxed, casual feel from the garter stitch collar and raw rolled-edge cuffs. This pattern is the easiest of the sweaters I've selected.

Next up is the Victoria Cardigan. Victoria is slightly less casual, but with an easy all-over texture pattern called moss stitch. The moss stitch isn't complicated, just a combination of knits and purls, but it does require that you pay a little attention. This sweater is knit in pieces and then sewn together, great practice for our finishing skills.

And lastly, take a look at the Girl Friday cardigan. This is the most complicated of the three cardigans we're looking at, but let me assure you it really isn't all THAT difficult. This sweater is knit in pieces and features a simple lace pattern. For those that participated in our last knit-along, this pattern will be a piece of cake! The "lace" pattern is a very simple combination of yarn overs and decreases and is repeated through the whole sweater - and easy to memorize!!

Please take a look at these patterns and comment on this post or our facebook page to place your vote! Once we've settled on a pattern I'll select some appropriate yarns and will make a coupon available again to those participating.

I can't wait to get started!!

Happy Knitting!!
