Hi Stitchers:
Fall is here and I am picking up fall knitting projects: I'm working on a
stranded yoke *Aspen Leaf* (a single pattern, Spun-Out 23, by Meg Swansen)
in *Berroco Ultra Alpaca* for my mom. I have two vests in progress in my
purse for Ryland: one in *Prism Merino Mia* and *Schaefer Lola*. They are
little, quick, and good for on the go. We have a sample vest at the shop.
The pattern is going through a final round of test knitting, and will be
published as a free pattern shortly. Lastly is a bulky Jacob wool pullover
for Steven in *Rowan PureLife British Sheep Breed Chunky*, which I started
last year ;-) The pattern is from Rowan's excellent *The British Sheep
Breeds Collection* booklet.
So, what is *your* fall project?
