the hotline sweater
Wednesday, January 03, 2018
I was beyond thrilled when Libby text me from school and asked me to make her the Hotline Sweater from Wool And The Gang.
I tried to get it finished for Christmas... however, did not quite make it. The knitting was finished but I still had to seam it together. A day late was worth the wait for Libby. She absolutely LOVES it.
If you have never worked with Mohair, it can be a little fussy. Nothing where I would feel the need to discourage anyone from knitting with it. It's just a little different than working with wool or cotton or any other yarn with a smooth finish. Since it's a little fuzzy it just seems to stick a little.
The finished project is well worth it. I think this would be the perfect project for a beginner sweater knitter. And it certainly is a fun project for every knitter.
Pattern: The Hotline Sweater
Yarn: Take Care Mohair in misty mauve
Needle size: size 11
Size: 1
If you are experiencing these amazing cold temperatures as we are, I hope you have your knitting and a cozy blanket to keep you warm. I truly just want to knit all day!
