Just finished 🧶

Knitted in the Lana Gatto VIP cashmere merino yarn

This soft lightweight DK yarn is going out the door fast but we do still have some left. This vest took just 4 balls when knitted as a DK although it can be used in 4ply patterns also

I have completed Take Your Time cardigan by Joji Locatelli. This is a fun brioche and garter stitch knit. I used some Mille Colori socks and Lace Luxe for sparkly garter stitch and fun bright hand dyed spritzer 4ply merino colours for the brioche. I also made my own buttons using great wee button weaving looms made by our local weaving queen Karuna Peralta.
You can find the pattern on Ravelry https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/take-your-time.
