I love to see lace and cable patterns redesigned into fresh patterns. Here is one...Don't you love this child's sweater? 

Look at those leaves. They are a simple twist stitch with a lacy interior! Very pretty yoke. 

This pattern is free at Lion Brand's site. You need to set up a free account to download this precious sweater pattern.

Enjoy and have a good weekend.

Great vintage bulky sweaters and jackets

There are some great patterns on this site. I especially like this little jacket. You can download this free pattern or purchase the entire booklet. Great stuff!

Here is another pretty one...check out that lipstick!

Lace Cardi

I love knitting lace but sometimes we just need to knit something practical. How about this lace cardi from Red Heart?

Nice three quarter sleeves, button closure across the bust line so the sweater hangs neatly and a simple lace design on the body of the sweater.

The directions suggest using Shimmer. Red Heart Shimmer combines beautiful rich solid shades with a matching thread of metallic to give it just a hint of sparkle. It is a size 4-medium weight acrylic yarn and is machine wash and dryable! I have made a few doggie sweaters with this yarn and it works up nicely and is very soft.

Here are some more projects made with Shimmer.
