Test Knits – Part Two & A Neck Warmer ~
By Sarah | October 11, 2007
More test knits have arrived…… Jodi made me the cutest set – booties and a vine lace baby hat to match! But, I can’t show it to you yet, as I have not had a chance to put the buttons on, hopefully Saturday, and then pictures. Oh. The cuteness!
Then Macoco was sweet enough to test knit some cashmere lace weight for me and make a neck warmer/cowl.
Used her pic – couldn’t resist her lovely photo shoot.
And then the Chevron….. Thank you MLE! She used the BFL Suri Alpaca yarn in Vivi’s Dress and the Merino Fingering weight in Kicky.
Thank you so much ladies – and there are still more to come – how exciting! I could not have done all this, no way no how, without your help!
Now, the season for hand knit accessories is upon us.
Maisy Day handspun….. think this will become some sort of easey peasey, uber basic scarf. This yarn can totally stand on its own.
Got a smidge of gift knitting done this week – a little something to keep Tracy’s neck warm this winter. Knit with FeltStudioUK handspun in the color Joy.
Exceedingly fast knit – took well under 2 hours.
- Needles: US 11 20″ circular
- Cast on 76 sts
- Pattern based on Charade

I am crazy about the Neck Warmer based on the Aspen Cowl by Macoco. I think I know this pattern and it seems larger and more drapy. I’d love to make one just like it – I like everything about it. The yarn is gorgeous. It’s perfect! Where can I buy your yarn? And how did you alter the pattern. Thanks – bjohn
