Fall Knitalong Announced

Fall Knitalong Announced

Our knitalong this fall will feature a flattering and unusual sweater designed by Carol Feller of Stolen Stitches.   Ravi has interesting construction, with a yoke that’s knit sideways and shaped to fit with short rows. The rest of the sweater is then picked up and knit downwards.   It features a hem that curves lower in back, also created with short rows, and is finished with i-cord. The sleeves are three-quarter length.   Ravi can be knit in sport- or DK-weight yarn.   As usual we’ll kick off our knitalong with a party on September 15. Join us for door prizes and fun (or if  you can’t make the party, cast on by yourself). The full knitalong schedule is listed...
