I know you are busy with your Christmas shopping, baking & decorating but I just wanted to let you know that our next KAL (knit along) will be starting  the week of January 24th and the Alpaca or Nepal are perfect yarns for it AND they are currently on sale 25% off. The sale ends on Dec 31st but colors are already limited. Your best chance to get your color of choice would be to order by Dec 13th (that's one week from today). When you do order please think of an alternative color just in case.

Many have already seen the model for the KAL because I have hardly taken it off since I finished it. This is definately my go-to sweater. It is seamed but very easy to get all your pieces that same length because you can count the number of ridges to make them equal. This also makes it a piece of cake for seaming, you just match it up ridge to ridge. It is a set in sleeve which makes it sit very nicely on your shoulders.

 

Drops 69-8

The sizes are generous so I went down one size and knit the Small for myself.

I haven't started the model for it yet but I will be working on it over the holidays. I've seen photos of my knitting firends wearing there's and it is adorable and looks fabulous on all shapes. I will teach you how to cable with or without a cable needle. It is seamless from the bottom up.
