Knitscene Fall 2010 – the final project!

By Kate Gagnon Osborn on June 28, 2010October 6, 2020

And as promised, the final project we are delighted to share with you from the Fall 2010 issue of Knitscene!

Courtney’s design, which features a longer body length, pockets, all over wide ribbing and a sailor-style collar, was inspired by a cardigan she found in a thrift store years ago. Knit out of acrylic, the thrifted cardigan was long lasting, wearable and functional, but…well..made of plastic.

Courtney knew that taking the aforementioned elements that made the original thrift store find a flattering, warm and wearable sweater and updating the cut a little to feature set in sleeves and using a natural yarn in lieu of the (not so nice) acrylic — in this case the gorgeous Terra — would create a cardigan she (and hopefully you!) would turn to time and time again.

The beautiful tweed flecks of Terra are really apparent in the Beet – a rich purpley-red with subtle pink an deep maroon high and low-lights.  It was definitely hard to see this one go when we sent it to the magazine!  Since then, Courtney has been planning a 2nd version in Henna, while Kate is trying to step outside her color comfort zone a little bit and dreams of knitting herself one in Logwood Purple.
