Adventures with sticks and string.
I finished this on Monday.
Alice Starmore’s Roscalie Cardigan, from her book In the Hebrides. I used Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift. This is a relatively easy fair isle as it uses only 5 colors.
Loki spent the Thanksgiving holiday doing this:
And I did this:
Since my last post, I have finished the body of Roscalie.
As you can see from the photo, I’ve also done the frontbands and neckband and facings. Since I took the above photo I put buttons on.
And I’ve started a sleeve.
In other news, Loki’s sheepskin rug was wearing out so I got him a new one. Do you think he likes it?
My Autumn of Fair Isle continues . . .
This is the Roscalie Cardigan from Alice Starmore’s In the Hebrides. I’m knitting mine from Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift. It on ly has five colors in total and is a very traditional-looking fair isle. I like that no two of the main peerie patterns are the same. The smaller border patterns are very simple and were easy to memorize.
