Plain Cardigan light designed by LE KNIT / Lene Holme Samsøe, beautifully knit by Karen K Johnson. Shown in Silky Locks, a silk/mohair/wool blend Boucle. A strong central core means easy to knit.
"Plain" it's not knit with this beautiful yarn! ❤️

Rare opportunity!

ETA: Only one spot left now!

Unexpectedly, due to a cancellation, a 2-person cabin has opened up for my knitting cruise September 6-12, sailing out of Rockland, Maine, on the Schooner J&E Riggin. This cruise fills up a year in advance, with a waitlist. People wait years to get a space! Act now to take advantage of this one-time opportunity to hop on board and sail with us!⛵

More info here: https://www.schoonerriggin.com/current-schedule
Scroll down to Sept. 6 and click the down arrow for details. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Angora & Merino there's nothing else like it.
Buttery soft, light & airy. No teeny-tiny needles needed.
EDIT: It didn't occur to me that pictures of fluffy angora might not be the most appropriate post in summer when it's almost 90 here in Maine - that's how much I love it! 🤦 🤷
