I bought 4 hanks of Madeline Tosh "tosh merino" in Rosewood while pregnant with Bewitched. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it, though I had an inkling to make a Zoe Mellor Robin Hood jacket for the girl.
Since then, though, I've learned several things.
1. I live on the central coast of CA and it never gets that cold.
2. We don't routinely visit places that cold.
3. I need to work with more linen, cotton, and blend yarns.
So I've been re-thinking. She's still going to get a sweater, but it'll be a little looser, not so cabled, and she'll probably only wear it a handful of times. Still, the yarn is beautiful & will look good in the simpler, open cardigan from Petite Purls called the Good Tree.
I love a lot of the patterns from Petite Purls & this is the second I've knit, the first being Olive. My version turned out super cute even though I flubbed the neckline a bit.
