Knit a Yoke Full of Summer Flowers

February 28, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

maryanna colorwork sweaterI’ve lately been looking at a lot of sweaters with simple bodies and colorful yokes because I have some creamy white yarn I want to use in a sweater project but I don’t want to own a white sweater, if that makes any sense.

I will probably be making Isabel Kramer’s Humulus with that yarn, because it’s worsted weight, but if it were a DK I would seriously consider Maryanna by Heidie Reszies.

This folk-art-inspired sweater has large flowers all over the yoke, which would definitely break up that white nicely. It’s designed to be colorwork that isn’t intimidating to those new to the prospect, but still fun for those who are comfortable with the technique.

Fun it definitely looks like. The pattern is $6.50 on Ravelry.

Book Review – Wilderness Knits: Scandi-style sweaters for adventuring outdoors

Wilderness Knits: Scandi-style sweaters for adventuring outdoors 23 knitting patterns for jumpers and cardigans to last a lifetime

Combining her love for the outdoors and knitting, Linka Neumann presents patterns for Scandi-style jumpers, cardigans, and a headband that will keep you warm and dry, no matter how rough the weather is.

Drawing on traditional Norwegian knitting methods, these designs for thick, woolly knits are not only comfortable and cozy, but also represent authenticity and style that has stood the test of time. Linka takes inspiration from nature and wildlife for her fresh yet timeless designs. From the Norwegian forests, snow-covered landscapes, and fjords to reindeer, wolves, and her beloved Husky dogs.

Many of the designs come with variations to suit all tastes, whether you prefer a jumper or a cardigan, a thick or thin garment, sewn-on arms or round yokes. The patterns include instructions for a range of sizes and for both female and male body shapes. There is also a pattern for making Linka’s signature Wilderness Sweater in children’s sizes.

The projects are showcased in a stunning Norwegian landscape that will make you yearn for the outdoors. And no matter how long or short your adventure, you will be cozy in your bespoke, home-knitted jumper. These knits chime with an eco-conscious, anti-fast fashion sentiment and will literally last you a lifetime of adventuring!
