Lacy Cabled Scoop KnitaLong |
|
|
Chrissy Gardner, the designer of the Lacy Cabled Scoop,
will host the KnitaLong for the sweater.
Read more about Y2KnitaLongs.
The project: An allover cable and lace pattern gives
wonderful texture to this shapely raglan pullover with 3/4
sleeves and a wide, scooped neck. The fit can be close or
loose, and is flattering on most figures.
The yarn: We chose Cascade's 220 Superwash for it's
wearability, knitability, and great colors. We're offering
select colors at special Y2KnitaLong price, $9/skein!
(regularly $10) This lovely wool not only comes in great
colors, but it's soft enough to wear next to your skin, even
if you are sensitive to wool.
Yarn requirements for the Lacy Cabled Scoop:
| Size: XS (S) (M) (L) (XL) (XXL) (XXXL) |
| Finished Body: 34 (38) (42) (46) (50) (54)" |
| Yarn Required: 5(6)(6)(7)(8)(10)(11)skeins/1100
(1320)(1320)(1540)(1760)(2200)(2420)yds

Knitting Getaway Weekend |
|
|
|
In conjunction with our friends at
Modern Yarn in Montclair, NJ, Y2Knit is hosting a
Knitting Getaway Weekend, April 27-29, 2007. We're back
at
Kirkridge Retreat Center, a site we have come to love
for the serenity, closeness to nature, and beautiful views
from the modern lodge.
This event will be in the tradition of Y2Knit Knitting
Getaways--expect to relax, renew, learn and connect with
other knitters. We're still working out the details, but if
you want to be in on this, we can take 6 knitters, all
shared rooms. The rest of the attendees will be from Modern
Yarn.
Cost for the Event is $600, starting Friday and ending
Sunday. Details on workshops available soon! Please let us
know if you would like us to reserve you a spot.
