| Cascade Cloud |
On April 1, at my weekly
knitting group at Apple Yarns here in Bellingham, a bunch of us got excited
about a new yarn in the shop--Cascade Cloud, a worsted weight yarn that is
absolutely perfect for sweaters. 70% Merino Wool and 30% Baby Alpaca it's
super soft, and the chain-like construction gives it strength. It feels great
against the skin and is amazingly lightweight! This "girls gone wild"
moment ended up in a buying frenzy with several of us buying enough Cascade
Cloud for a tri-colored sweater.
I designed my sweater using
The Tailored Sweater method for top-down construction. With a gauge of 4 stitches
per inch and 6 rows per inch, I used 7 skeins: 3 pink, 2 each of green and
purple. (Each skein has 164 yards.) It took me exactly 14 days to finish. Talk
about instant gratification! Woo Hoo! I'm wearing this baby everywhere.
