Simple Fair Isle Sweater
Dates: 1/22, 1/29, 2/5, 2/19, 3/5, 3/12
Time: 6 - 8 p.m.
Location: Shake and Bops Cafe (19 Wirt Street, Leesburg) NOTE LOCATION CHANGE.
Sweater Options:
Isabell Kraemer’s Cardoon — a top-down knit pullover with a touch of Fair Isle colorwork in the yoke, at the cuffs, and before the bottom rib.
Other comparable Isabell patters.
Loopy Mango’s Scandinavian Sweater (or Top) — quicker and easier if you are looking for a more beginner sweater or are time crunched. I love the puffy sleeves on the Top and get compliments every time I wear it.
