mock cable ribbing

The Ariana test knit is almost finished. This is a tough time of year for test knits because everyone is busy with knitting for themselves after the rush to finish holiday gifts. Plus almost no one is quite ready to start buying yarn in sweater quantities just yet. So I’m extra grateful for the testers that put down their own projects, dug deep in their stash and offered their own time and thought to help test this sweater!

Ariana is a simple top-down seamless raglan with mock cable edging on the body, sleeves and neck. Ariana also features subtle waist and hip shaping for flattering fit and a split hem. Written in 7 sizes. No cables or cable needle!

I love this sweater a lot and think it will be my go-to sweater for the season. I just wore it for a day of watching the boys and husband ski. I really like the comfy feel of it and the split hems!

2015

Published in 2015 Sherri combines a modest scoop neck, mock cable ribbing and a high-low hem for casual loose comfort. Perfect for walks in the woods, cozy weekends and sipping hot coffee. Sherri is a top down pullover. The high-low hem is accomplished with Japanese short rows worked back and forth just above the bottom ribbing. This is a new technique I learned just for this project and I truly love the way it makes the wrapped and turned stitches almost melt into the fabric instead of standing out like wrapped stitches sometimes do.
