Second Houndstooth

This pattern was the first Spunky Eclectic Weaving Club project and I loved it but gifted the first so bought some more of the same yarn to make one for me – I finally did! Could use a little press but it is finished.

Also swatching for yarn to be used in a SOL/KAL on ravelry. It is Southern Cross Fibre Polwarth - just love Polwarth - in a sale lot plus I will be using some Polwarth Tencel also SCF Snowgum colorway. I am planning on a Vine Yoke Cardigan designed by Ysolda Teague. I will blend the Snowgum and use that yarn for the yoke, the more variegated fiber will make yarn for the body. I am excited about this project, it is another sweater that is constructed side to side.

When I was spinning I was sure I would like the 2 ply the most, it is very airy yarn which I wanted but looking at the n ply, now I am not certain. Kitting each will be next then hopefully a decision!

  1. I love herringbone...it's easy to see why you wanted one for your self...lovely job! The Vine Yoke Cardigan is a pattern I had not seen before...I do like it. I know that you will make all the best decisions on your yarn...I look forward to seeing what you do!
