The West-Northwest Pullover can now been seen on the Pullovers and Cardigans page.

It was one of those designs where I was wondering, “Am I crazy to be doing this?”.  For some reason, these always end up to be my favourites.  It’s worked in a 4ply/Fingering yarn and covered in small rib, cables and twist stitches, hence my doubts about my own state of mind.  And of course a collar, which is so simple but transforms it to another level.  The outcome is so worth it.  I love the vintage look that I ended up with!

Whole lotta collar

My cowl collared pullover is all sewn up and the collar surging ahead. Before I picked up stitches for the collar I tried the pullover on. I love it! Here’s hoping that the collar will be an enhancement and not detract. :)Will the collar be wide enough, long enough, too long? Keep knitting and find out!!!  What’s the worst that can happen? Pull out the collar change it somehow.

The temperature is edging up to 36c over the next few days.  Not ideal knitting weather.

I have a design which will appear in the March issue of Yarn Magazine.  It’s very exciting!  I’ll keep you posted.
