New Pattern: Juliet

Well it has been a little quiet over here and I am not sure who knows about the new pattern that just came out!

Juliet

Check it out! :o)

Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you know there is a new pattern posted by the Zephyr Style ladies over at http://www.zephyrstyle.com/catalog/item.cfm/2367447/3974520. Called the Tree Jacket, it's a colder-weather design featuring a super-simple lace pattern and less-fitted styling than some of the other patterns. I just bought it this morning and am thinking of maybe using this Brooks Farm Riata from my stash:



What do you think?

Hi everyone,
My name is Robin and I just joined this KAL. I love the Zephyr Style patterns - they're like candy - quick, easy and mindless!! On top of those characteristics, they also usually have a great fit.

I have made Green Gable, Wicked, and Rusted Root previously and I just finished Tube Top-orini.



I have the patterns for Glee, Miss Marigold and may make duplicates of the others I've already made. I look forward to seeing what everyone else is working on!

Ms Marigold

I have started Ms Marigold but put it on hold for while as I wanted to knit Isabella which I more of a summer top. I really like this but fear I may have to frog back some of it as there is a slight flaw in the fabric and it is right in centre of the front. I am using Debbie Bliss Baby Cashermerino in cream for the body and an dusky pink for the ribbing, neck and ruffles.

Wicked

Thanks for letting me join, I'm Sittenknitten in western Colorado. I have Wicked on the needles in Mission Falls 1824 Cotton. It's knitting up very nicely, and I really like the nubby texture from the yarn. It does, however, make my fingers a little sore after awhile, probably something about the way I hold the yarn and needles. There's another Wicked in my future in Cascade 220 for the cooler months, but for now, the cotton is cool and comfy to wear and I'm ready to coast on through the body and "get 'er done!"

I have the pattern for Green Gables here, still deciding on which yarn to use.

Thanks for the inspiration here, KAL's really help keep me from having too many projects going at once.

Best Cast-Off?

I am basically finished with my Rusted Root, and was casting off the bottom today....but afterwards realized that I don't think my cast-off is stretchy enough. I haven't tried it on (I finished knitting in the middle of a staff meeting, so it didn't seem appropriate to do a fashion show then and there!), but I'm afraid it's not going to stretch enough to go on....

Suggestions for the best cast-off for this? I'm up for learning something new if I need to!

a gleeful Hi!

I'm excited to join this KAL! It's great to see everyone's work, there are a few Zephyr sweaters that I'd like to make. Right now I'm working on my first Zephyr pattern - Glee.

I love the simple, top-down pattern (with few seams!) of this sweater. I'm knitting it in the smallest size, and I've decided to make a few simple changes to the pattern: adding some shape to the waist and making 3/4 length sleeves.

As for yarn - I'm using an alpaca silk blend, which is producing a soft, light sweater that will be perfect for summer!

Here's a shot of my work in progress...
