My Garnet Cassie came off the blocking mats yesterday afternoon. I do love this pattern, this color, and this yarn. It really is wonderful when all the factors come together so beautifully. I did forget to switch to the US 6 needle when I got to the bottom ribbing, but I didn’t realize it until I had already worked several rounds and I wasn’t going to tink back, or change partway through, and I really don’t think it matters.
I wore my Foxglove Cassie this past Friday for a Fruity Knitting Knit and Chat. The hosts didn’t show up (they are in the middle of retreats they are also hosting), but the Shetland patrons that did show up had a nice visit that went for 2 hours! It was actually more fun just because it was more relaxed. It is a warm top, even worn on its own, and very comfy.
Pattern: Cassie Slipover by Sarah Kaub
Yarn: Sundara Yarn Extra Fine Aran Merino
Needle: US 6 (4.0 mm neck & armhole edging), US 7 (4.5 mm, body and bottom ribbing)
