What a tortured title!!! Surly and I have both been slogging away on the Bea Cardigan, made in Isager Eco Soft, color E4s. We fell in love with this little cutie! I worked on mine more at first, so mine is finished.
I made many modifications, but won’t bore you with them here. I did write them out on my Ravelry project page. This is a really cute transition piece as we venture into fall. I expect to wear it often!!
Talk about simple and two “stockinette in the round” FOs in a week!
This cowl celebrates color and fabric. I started with the Nuance Cowl from Shibui, but with 5 instead of 3 colors. That meant redoing the math somewhat. I used Shibui Silk Cloud in Juniper, Cove, Caper, and Pollen. Pollen has a bit of green and I wanted gold, so I added La Bien Aimée Mohair-Silk, color Yellow Brick Road, to move to pure gold at the end. The size went from 18×51 inches to a blocked size of 13×60.
I really love it! Wear it long or short:
PS to Wendy: I am with you! My jaw dropped at $10 for a stockinette tube in the round which I completely reworked anyway! I was livid, but bought it anyway…aaarrrggghhh. 🙁
Sometimes you see a design and you know you have to make it. Sometimes it’s a complex masterpiece, or something simple that speaks to you. This is the latter!! The 27 Color Snood by Blue Sky Fibers.
The original was knit in Woolstok Worsted. I used their 27-color mini-bundle with Cascade 220 in color Vashon for my main color.
This was a fun, super quick knit! It looks weird, like a skirt, but fits like the picture. I made mine larger by adding 30 sts and still had plenty of each stripe color.
Sally used Woolstok Thyme for her main color and it’s gorgeous!!
ETA: Surly has been super busy and will add a photo when she can. Sorry we have been off the grid a while! Summer is take a break time. 🙂
