nest

I'm so excited to show you my new pattern Nest, which was just released by Sweetgeorgia Yarns. Felicia Lo and her company make some of the most wonderful yarn I've ever worked with and their colours are saturated and stunning. It was such a thrill to be able to use their newest yarn, Trinity Worsted for this project. It's a blend of superwash merino, cashmere and silk so you can imagine what a treat it is to knit with (shown in 'Oxblood').

This cardigan is worked from the top down, back and forth, with set-in, ¾-length sleeves. Short rows shape the shoulders as well as the tops of the sleeves. Nest-like cables are continuously worked on the front and back of the body.

Here are the specs:

Felicia asked me some interview questions about the process, which you can find on her blog here. It was such a pleasure to work with Felicia and her gorgeous yarn.
