Janelle's Mulberry O-Wool Sweater


Janelle started another sweater using Vermont Fiber Co.'s O-Wool Classic.
The pattern is from Interweave Knits magazine Spring '09 issue and is called Diminishing Rib Cardigan.
She has been busy swatching and making changes to the pattern to fit her desires and needs.


Janelle's swatches told her much about the yarn. The swatch above is with the collar rib as written with an experimental buttonhole.

The second smaller swatch is the ribbing she is using. It is Janelle's alternate cast on.

These are the swatches side by side. She also practiced making some different button holes and decided on no buttonholes, she is going with clasps.
Also, Janelle said for a lighter weight summer sweater, O-Wool Legacy DK would be a great choice.
Vermont Fiber Co. O-Wool Classic, Legacy DK, and Balance are all on sale 20% off at the Dancing Ewe Yarns for the month of March.
