Color Update

A lot of things are happening at this time of the year. Here is an update of what is newly available in the shop. Some colorways are brand-new, others are old favorites making a re-appearance.

All yarns are 100% cotton and very soft; the yarns are fingering weight, some are also available as sport weight skeins. They all change colors gradually to create a unique effect.

Colorido Sweater

I finished my Colorido Sweater:

010 Colorido sweater

It is a top-down, no-seams Raglan sweater knitted in bulky yarn. The sweater is for Wool-Aid's Tibet campaign, a campaign that seeks to support children left destitute after the devastating earthquake in Tibet in April. For more info about this wonderful organization: wool-aid.org
Wool-Aid also has a group on Ravelry - please join us!

I used Knitpicks' Wool of the Andes: 4.5 skeins of the main color - colorway Cadet and 0.5 skein each of the three contrast colors: Navy, Wine, and Porcini.

The pattern is available from Lismi, lismi.blogspot.com, or as a free download on Ravelry.
