My issue of Vogue knitting has not come yet but Tracy’s did. And I fell in love with pattern #3.
So Tracy & I hit Michaels last night to see what microspun they had on hand. Lo and Behold, they had all the original colors as called for in the pattern for myself and the colors Tracy wants to use. She is doing a cooler set of colors, creams, blues. You can go on over to her post about it & see. I cast on last night & did a bit of the ribbing but then I decided to finish the drop stitch hoodie before going any further.
I am on the hood now so it’s not much further. It’s a very simple pattern to memorize so it zips right along. I am still deciding on zippers up the sleeves or buttons. We’ll see with the merino, they may be too heavy.
I used one hank of the silk recycled yarn from Thuy to crochet a fun scarf/belt. I have never been a big fan of any handmade item as a hanging belt type thing but I tried it on & was rather shocked when I like how it hung & looked. So there you have it! I will post a free pattern with pictures, eventually.
I just love that pattern on top! It’s so pretty and fem and colorful! yay!
