Inspired by my love of all knitted things cabled and The Lord of the Rings, Grey Havens is a sweater full of flowing, interlocking cables and details, that for me, conjures up misty images of some far off shore. Grey Havens is worked in the round from the bottom up, with raglan shoulders and a split cowl collar that can be buttoned up.
