Knitting: Coat / Jacket

Knitting: Pullover
Zukaite blocked two intarsia fields of sylphlike ‘Serena’ from Manos del Uruguay/Fairmount Fibers in her figure-skimming raglan-sleeve pullover.

Knitting: Pullover

Work it in Imperial Yarns’ rustic ‘Columbia 2-ply.’”

Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
An enchantingly unorthodox construction distinguishes Brooke Nico’s shawl, knit in Jade Sapphire’s soft and springy “Lacey Lamb.” It’s worked from end to end, the triangle shape forming naturally at the periphery of the allover diamond garter lace pattern. The gently undulating border is worked along with the body.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Manda Shah creates the illusion of an edging in her winsome triangle shawl, worked from the top down, by interspersing smaller diamonds and eyelets within the allover pattern of large diamond lace blocks.

Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Zabeth Loisel-Weiner works an unconventional twist into her triangle shawl: she begins by knitting the zigzag edging from side to side, then picking up the body stitches and working them toward the upper edge.

It’s stitched in Zealana’s heavenly “Air.”

Knitted button covers add polish.
Knitting: Pullover

Knitting: Cardigan
On Carol Sulcoski’s open-front cardigan, fizzy lavender stitches, knit in “Zara Chine” from Filatura di Crosa/Tahki Stacy Charles, seem suspended in midair on a background of charcoal “Zara.” Two-color fisherman’s rib creates the effect; broken rib forms the set-in sleeves. A reverse three-needle bind-off fashions decorative shoulder seams.
Knitting: Pullover
Yoko Hatta’s cable-panel pullover, cozy and flattering thanks to its deep drop shoulders, is knit with minimal shaping in Cascade Yarns’ undyed, self-striping “Eco Duo.” The hem and cuffs are left to ripple naturally.

The luxurious shaped shawl collar on Deborah Newton’s roomy tunic-length cardigan sports a large cable at its center, identical to the one at the sweater’s center back.
