Well, we are at it again!
.
Another year, another 12 in 12.
.
New Project Bags
.
This year I was a little more thoughtful about which sweaters I chose. I read reviews on Ravelry, I talked with designers, I made sure the pattern was easy to access. I hope you’ll find at least one sweater you love too. If sweaters aren’t your thing…we added socks to the mix this year.
.
Without further ado…
.
January – Bedford
.
January is Bedford. A comfy pullover sweater designed by Michele Wang for BT Fall 11.
.
February – Sullivan
.
February is Sullivan. A comfortable worsted weight cardigan with awesome details. Designed by Whitney Gregg- Harrison for Brooklyn Tweed Wool People
.
March – True North
.
March is True North. A bulky weight, fair isle cardigan made out of Cascade Eco Wool. Come on, let’s steek together! This great one is designed by Amy Swenson.
.
April – Featherweight Cardigan
.
April is Featherweight Cardigan. Hannah Fettig of Knitbot designed this lace weight (yep, lace weight) cardigan. I think it will be the perfect cardi to get you through the summer months. I am going to knit it out of sock though:) I saw it knit up in person out of Fibre Company Canopy Fingering. AWESOME!
.
May – Sabbatical
.
May is Sabbatical. Connie Chang Chinchino designed this sweater for Twist Collective. Don’t let the lace in sport yarn freak you out. You can do it!
.
June – White Russian
.
June is White Russian. Thea Coleman is the brainchild behind the Baby Cocktails blog and this great pullover sweater! Knit out of a DK weight, it’ll be the perfect transition sweater to fall!
.
July – Rusted Root
.
July is Rusted Root. This worsted weight cotton sweater designed by Sarah Moore will be a great summer knit.
.
August is a fun month. I”m changing things up a bit. Susie Gibbs of Juniper Moon Farms has a new yarn line that we are going to be selling this spring. One of the yarns is called Sabine, a skein of 30% royal llama, 30% merino wool and 40% cotton tweedy awesomeness. She has pulled together a bunch of great designers to help put together her pattern collection. I knew we were going to choose Sabine for the yarn, but I couldn’t decide on the pattern. So, you get to pick. We’re going to use this new yarn and you can pick from the 9 new patterns.
.
The only problem…we aren’t going to get the yarn until March and we won’t really see the patterns until then too. I’m going to try to get us a sneak peak at them though:) Stay tuned!
.
September – Zephyr
.
September is Zephyr. Designed by Tori Gurbisz, this worsted weight cardigan is top down with a contiguous yoke (which is pretty cool).
.
October – Levenwick
.
October is Levenwick. Another great design brought to us by Brooklyn Tweed designed by Gudrun Johnston. Pretty cool button band huh?
.
November – Chickadee
.
November is Chickadee. Another fun color work sweater that is from the book Little Red in the City from Ysolda. If you don’t have this book yet and want to know more about sweater construction. You should pick it up. Trust me.
.
December – Astor
.
December is Astor. A bulky weight sweater from Norah Gaughan for Berroco. The bulky weight yarn is perfect for December knitting.
