The Sheep(ish) sample is done!…and on deadline! This is all I’m allowed to show you right now. You’ll have to wait for a full picture when the pattern is published. Until then, you can piece all the past pictures together in your head.

Fabulous things you should know about this pattern:
1. It’s knit top down.
2. It’s completely seamless.
3. It will be available in sizes S-3X.
4. It’s ridiculously comfy.
5. It will be published by Caron International Yarns and I’ll let you know as soon as it’s available.
6. It may take some time to choose a color amongst all these bold(ish), statement-making colors. Start choosing now.

Vickie Howell contacted me a couple weeks ago and asked if I would design a sweater for her new yarn, Sheep(ish) by Caron. You betchya!

Although Vickie didn’t request a sketch, I couldn’t resist sketching it out to share with you what’s in my head for the design. Vickie did request that the sweater be a cardigan with a shawl collar, tie closure and thigh-length. We selected the bold Teal(ish) color for the sample.

Don’t get too attached to the sketch though. As is my design process, I usually start in one direction and finish in a completely different place. I do promise that while this garment may be knit from Sheep(ish) yarn, it will be far from sheepish. I anticipate this one’s going to be a statement piece.

Now that I’ve sketched and swatched the stitch pattern, it’s time to get rollin’. The stitch pattern is a simple chevron lace pattern. Really simple, but creates a nice overall look. Will keep you updated!
