From Sally — Sunday Morning

Filed under: Updates — surly @ 2:00 pm

Out here in the still snowy Rockies, it’s Sunday morning for another few minutes — the perfect time to post about my Sunday Morning pullover designed by none other than Carol Sunday.

This is another very wearable sweater.  I’ve been gravitating towards those in between more challenging knits.  I worked on this over a few months while watching TV or taking a break from color work knitting.

The pattern, as one expects with Carol’s designs, is very clearly written.  Her patterns just always seem to work.  This one is a bottom up raglan, knit in pieces and seamed.  The raglan shaping is done with decorative cables.  It has a split hem and a folded knit neckline.  I made no real changes to the pattern except for lengthening it a few inches.

I used Carol’s newest yarn, Heaven, which is 100% cashmere.  Need I say more?  It’s luscious to knit with and creates a wonderfully soft, warm fabric.  My photos don’t truly capture the rich color — Fog is a deep, bluish gray.

I will be wearing this sweater a lot — especially if our weather stays as wintry as it’s been.  (We’re getting more snow tomorrow!)

Chloe — I didn’t deliberately draw the neck in (although I am happy with the fit).  I think mine has less ease than the one on the model.  If I’d made a size up (which I did consider), it would probably fit more like that.

  1. Perfectly executed!

  2. This is simple – but the details are really elegant – I’ll have to reconsider this one. Also, I think you chose a color that’s like the sweater. A little too subtle for the blogging “wow” factor, but just great to wear. Beautiful (as always).

  3. I love the neckline on yours, Sally. Did you draw it in just a bit? It seems just a bit closer to the neck than on her website which would feel cosier on a snowy morning. At least to me. But I like the slouchier original just as much! Beautiful work, as always! Chloe

  5. I love me a decorated raglan seam, and that is one beautiful one. Lovely job of a lovely design, Sally.
