Just before traveling early this month, I finished Joji Locatelli's fresh new sweater pattern: Feathers in the Wind.
The pattern features a cozy stand up collar and a beautiful lace yoke. The increases for the sleeves are almost invisibly worked into the lace patttern.
I had originally begun this pattern using a gray yarn, which would have shown off the lacework better. But I spied this bright green while on vacation and couldn't resist it after the long gray winter that we had. The only modification that I made to the pattern was to lenghthen and loosen the cuffs. I didn't reduce the stitch count when I got to them and made them extra long inspired by Maddermade's signature cuff style.
This sweater embraces all of my favorite sweater attributes: top-down construction, sport weight yarn, pretty details but still rugged enough for daily use and a good fit. Plus this yarn is the best. I don't love all of the wild colorways, I wish that their semi-solids in earthy colors were more readily available. But! The yarn doesn't pill, it blocks out obediently and it's super-duper soft.
My Ravelry notes are here.
Joining Ginny (do check out her finished Follow Your Arrow!!) and Nicole today. What are you knitting on?
