Moxie

We are starting the “Moxie” on April, 8, 2010. We are very excited to get this cute cardi underway. Many of us have just finished an Eyelet Cardigan that was in a very fine gauge. Our fingers are itching to knit something that may go quicker. The Moxi is topdown, seamless, 3/4 sleeves, in a worsted weight yarn with a one button closure. Many of us are using the Berroco Blackstone Tweed yarn. The pattern was written for this yarn, but some people are venturing away from this yarn. It is always exciting to watch the sweaters unfold.

Nuss Knitalong – Lots of Progress

The Nuss from Berroco – a basic cardigan with a gently flared shape. It has an easily memorized lace pattern that decorates the fluted bottom. Finished with crochet and a cluster of buttons.

The Knitalong (KAL) participants are making great progress. One of these folks has completed the knitting and is ready to put together the different pieces. Can you guess who?

There was much discussion as to whether to block and sew, or to sew and block. The decision was to sew and block using a “Wooly Board” – available in the store.

Come and see our model it’s made in Blackstone Tweed Plum Island – a yarn for the discerning knitter! This super soft yarn has all the rustic appeal of a classic tweed yarn but with a high dose of mohair and angora. With wear these garments will develop a soft and fuzzy halo. A joy to wear and a pleasure to knit.

What is a Knitalong.
