Liesl Cardigan for Summer





Cathy F. finished her Liesl cardigan and customer, Anna modeled it for us. The Liesl is knit with Rowan Summer Tweed in color #527 called Sprig. The pattern is available on Ravelry or from the Ysolda store. Doesn't it look stunning on Anna with her blond hair! What a lovely cardigan for those cool summer evenings. The Summer Tweed shows off the lace pattern wonderfully. This cardigan is knit in one piece and knits up quickly and easily. Have fun with this pattern!

Busy Customers

Customer, Anna, is on another sock monkey. These little guys are so cute. The pattern is available through Ravelry. Made with Cascade Quatro as the main part of the body, they can be made in many color combinations.Here is Anna attaching the lips. Susie has modified the pattern and the modifications are available at Dancing Ewe Yarns store. I hear clothing patterns are coming in the future.
Customer, Matt, came in to show us the sweater he knitted. He selected Cascade Handpaint color Berry. Great job, Matt!
