Hi all,
Today, I am very excited—the launch of the Kathleen sweater. Why am I so extraordinary excited? Well, the Kathleen sweater is my very first design and the ’mother’ for the pullovers and tees, as well as for more designs in the pipeline. In my opinion, a lovely and beautiful all-over lace pattern – a delightful sweater to knit. If you enjoy lace knitting, this one is one for you – you will love it! And do not just take my word for it. Check out the gorgeous and dedicated test knitters' statements here: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/notswift/kathleen-sweater (Note - need to sign in).
Examples from the test knitters – no name mentioned, no name forgotten, but a great from my heart to all the test knitters:
“All done! This is a phenomenal pattern. It’s so well put together, the lace patterns for the body and sleeves are positioned perfectly, they meet up and flow so nicely. Everything is very clear, and easy to follow. It was a delight to knit!”
“It fits perfectly!”
“Thanks for the opportunity to test knit!”
“Started with tubular cast on. It’s so nice. I’m making everything bottom up now.”

The sweater is designed a bit boxy and cropped, so if you prefer a longer length, you can easily adjust it before starting. Measurements and instructions for how to lengthen the body are included in the pattern, making it easy to adjust to your preferred length.
The sweater is knitted in a medium worsted weight yarn held with one strand of kid silk mohair, which gives it a light and soft touch.
The “Ivory” sample is knitted in Juniper Moon Farm – Bluefaced Leicester, colorway Ivory, held with Emma’s Marvelous Mohair, colorway On the Rocks.
The sweater is worked in the round, from the bottom up, seamlessly, except for the underarms. The body and the sleeves are joined at the armholes and worked in the round at the raglan up to the front neck, where short rows shape the neckline. The neck, cuffs, and hem are worked in twisted ribbing.
