Knitscene Collection: Lapis Yoke

The second piece in my Knitscene collection is the Lapis Yoke pullover, knit from the top down out of The Fibre Company Organik, shown here in seawater. The Knitbot store will be stocked with Organik in time for the July 20 release of the magazine, so please check back if you plan to make this sweater!  I will also be stocking the magazine itself, so you can enjoy one stop shopping.

Knitscene Collection: Lettuce Pullover

The Lettuce Pullover is the first of three of my designs featured in the Fall issue of Knitscene, due out July 20.

If you are a fan of Featherweight, you might consider this light and airy pullover.  It is designed in the same wonderful fabric created by Malabrigo Lace knit on a size 6 needle.  This simple, wearable knit is worked from the top down. The collar is knit as a separate piece and attached, creating a soft frame around the neck opening.
