Inspired by Ysolda’s recent post featuring snippets of designs to come, I wanted to share a little preview of my next indie design, the Alexandria Cardigan. It’s worked in Fleece Artist’s Woolie Silk, one of my favorite workhorse sweater yarns – it has lovely sheen, works up to a great gauge, and is soft for next to skin wear. You’ll have to use your imagination a little bit…this is a photo of the sweater still unblocked and with the ends hanging out:
I’m really excited about this one. It’s worked in one piece; and the sleeves are picked up from the armholes and then worked down to the cuff to minimize seaming and finishing. The pattern is with my brother for the layout treatment and my model is taking photos of it right now.

It’s really lovely! I love the bordures and the color!

That’s lovely. I just picked up a bag of Mirasol Tupa at Stitches West. If you’re using the DK weight Woolie Silk, that might work as a substitute.

I love the stitch pattern on the cuffs and collar/band! And the openwork border sets it off beautifully.
