As promised, I’m sharing a new FO: Sprig, designed by Alana Dakos. This was my first use of a Plucky Knitter yarn. I used Bello Worsted, which is 55% merino and 45% cashmere and is just as luscious as it sounds. My color is called Skies of November — very appropriate for this time of year.
This is a fast and easy knit, and I loved all of the little details, especially the buttons at the elbow. (I added a few beads for extra pop.) The sleeves hit just below the elbow, which I find a very flattering length.
My only modification was to do a rolled stockinette hem instead of the garter stitch hem called for in the pattern.
Addendum from Susan — Sally and I just got back from Rhinebeck. We spent money like drunken knitters (even though we were sober!!). At least sober while we shopped! It was fun and interesting and we will share more in the days to come. Sally’s Sprig is darling and fits like a glove!
