the lawrenson sweater
Thursday, August 27, 2020It's all about this sleeve!
I adore being able to add something different to my wardrobe.
The typical sweater I like to make is something I can wear in the day. Something easy to throw on with a pair of jeans. But lately, I have wanted to venture out and make things that I may dress up a bit. Wear perhaps, with a skirt or a pair of black pants. It started with the whole reason I designed One Lovely Sweater. I wanted something that could be the "go to" sweater that I could either wear with jeans, or with black pants. One that I could wear to lunch, OR to dinner.
And this seems to be something in that same category. It's designed by one of my favorite designers; Lily Kate France. Lily is young and designs current looks. So, I was all over this the minute I saw it.
I scoured my stash knowing I wanted to add a single strand of mohair to give it that softer look.
I had a Julie Asselin Melange N.1 slotted for another sweater, but grabbed it along with a la BIEN AIMEE silk mohair and started swatching. Something interesting started to happen which is referred to as marling and I instantly knew this would work.
There is a Fruity Knitting Podcast, Episode 106, which details the effects of marling. Cecelia Campochiaro is a color expert. If you would like to learn more about marling, I highly recommend this episode. And it just so happens that Lily Kate is interviewed as well!
Yarn: I held together 1 strand of the Julie Asselin Melange N.1 Chandail in Natural Gris, 750 yards, 75% Merino, 25% Yak, with 1 strand of la BIEN AIMEE Mohair Silk, 740 yards, 70% Mohair, 30% Silk in Alcide Herveaux
Needles: US 8
Size: 2
Mods: I omitted the side stitching due to the look of the fabric I achieved.
