Saw this pattern on the Yarn Crawl 2012 at Close Knit and had to make it to match the dress already in process. Using more of the sport-weight cotton to make a hat to match the dress/tunic. Adjusting pattern to make it work with the same feather-and-fan spacing of the dress and my gauge from…
Notes from my queue to start this off… Caladan Sweater by Tamy Gore Colorwork sweater with graphic diamonds hanging down from the neckline. It needs 1275yd MC/465 CC.
