Back with more show and tell! I’m always collecting photos of finished projects that began life as yarn at HYS, and especially love it when a theme emerges. Today, the theme is sweaters knit with Isager yarns – let’s take a look!
Here Joanne models her “Lento,” knit with Alpaca 2 and Bouclé held together throughout for a soft, textured fabric. Joanne is now on her third “Lento,” a sure sign of a great pattern! Designed by Jonna Helin.
Hyesol came in wearing her “Light Loop Sweater,” also knit with Bouclé . Designed by Other Loops and knit at an even bigger gauge than “Lento,” “Light Loop Sweater” has a slightly lacy look. Here’s a close up!
Below is Bailey in her “Anorak,” knit with Jensen and Silk Mohair held together in the main color, and Jensen on its own in the contrast color. This pattern is from Marianne Isager’s A Knitting Life Out Into the World.
Earlier this year, Katherine taught a class at HYS on thepetiteknitter’s “mayflower jumper,” a colorwork yoke pullover. She knit hers in Alpaca 2 held double and the fabric is somehow even softer than Alpaca 2 on its own – look for the sample hanging here at our shop!
Isager yarns are not all wooly and fuzzy – their plant fiber blends are some of the most unique in our shop. Here’s Victoria’s “Reef,” a delicate tank knit with Bomulin. Pattern by Libby Johnson.
Thanks to Joanne, Hyesol, Bailey, Katherine, Victoria, and everyone who starts their projects with a trip to our shop! We love seeing what you make.
