Magnolia

I bet you thought I fell off the face of the earth, didn’t you? In some ways I have, I suppose. Life has taken a few unexpected detours and I have slowed way down in all things involving the knitting world. One thing however will never change for me. I will always find joy in creating things.

Meet my recent creation.. the Magnolia cardigan. I finished it early on in the pandemic.. just in time to have nowhere to actually wear it and the California air outside to turn chokingly hot and hazy with wildfire smoke. But in recent months.. this little cardigan has gotten quite a lot of wear… (in my house)… and my kids, husband and cats are very impressed. :)

I have been knitting from my extensive yarn stash as of late.. and this particular beauty was made from a batch of Plucky Knitter Cashmere that I had been hoarding from a few years back. I think that this was the perfect pattern to come along for it, and I love this wearable neutral color!

It also has just the right amount of texture to add some interest.

This pattern was designed by Camilla Vad and you can find it HERE. Hope everyone (anyone?) reading is safe, well and keeping busy and happy with their knitting. :)
