WIP Wednesday

I’m working on a new sweater design! Top-down raglan with fun cable details:

WIP cable sweater

The yarn is Araucania Toconao (totally had to look up that spelling, yeesh), which I purchased at Little Knits for an astonishing 78% off. I couldn’t NOT buy it. And guess what? They still have some: http://www.littleknits.com/products.php?cat=1123. You’re welcome. :-)

The yarn reminds me most of Madelinetosh Vintage (my fave). It’s light and very elastic, so cables show up fantastically well. I’m really having a blast knitting this sweater. More to come about it later!

Cables always inspire me to take artsy pictures….

    Sweet — I picked up a boatload of Toconao in the Little Knits sale, myself! I’ll be keeping an eye out for this pattern. :)
