when I saw BT Imbue for the first time - on photos - I was amazed by the vivid colors.
Spoilt by choice I decided to choose grey (you can never go wrong with grey, no?) … and when I finally held the skeins in hand, it was immediately clear to me that the design had to reflect the wonderful characteristics of this yarn: Being thick and strong but soft and gentle at the same time.
Elah is a cosy cardigan, nicely thick, so that it can easily be layered as a jacket, but with its delicate leafy lace pattern it goes just as well with a summer dress….. hope you enjoy

Elah is worked seamlessly from the top down. Fronts are worked in lace pattern, while the back is worked in Stockinette stitch. Knitting starts with the provisional cast on of the shoulders for the fronts (you will first work the right front, then the left front). Once the short row shaped shoulder slope is done, the front is worked flat to underarm. Shoulder stitches are picked up from the provisional CO of both front shoulders to work the back to the same length. At underarm both fronts and back are joined to work the body top down back and forth to the bottom hem. As the front ribbing is built in, there is no finishing required. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the arm openings to work the sleeves in Stockinette stitch top down in rounds to the cuffs.
