It always seems awkward to post about cable sweaters in spring and summer (it’s so hard on me!!) but since it’s technically still winter, I’m squeezing this in. It makes me really happy that people are still using the #fringeandfriendsknitalong tag — from the Amanda knitalong of 2014. Another gorgeous shawl-collar version was just completed this week, and I still covet Meg’s version (even though I have my Bellows). But as much as I love that pattern, it doesn’t make sense to knit it again. So I’m crushing on these two new shawl-collar beauties:
TOP: Jess by Amy Miller features an allover combination of straightforward cables and braids, along with a plush ribbed collar
BOTTOM: Milk Stout by Thea Colman contrasts more elaborate nested cables and honeycomb with ribbed sleeves and a garter-stitch collar, and I love the saddle-shoulder construction
You know, if you want one ready to go for next fall (or plan to spend the summer on a windy northern coast), now is a good time to cast on …
