Recipe for Success
Quintessential Cardigan Felted Tweed Version © Churchmouse Yarns & Teas
Ready to embark on a sweater project? Here is our recipe for success: (1) Use a Churchmouse pattern. They're impeccably designed and aesthetically presented, with clear instructions and helpful photographs and diagrams--everything a knitter would want in a pattern. We have a great selection of Churchmouse printed patterns at the shop and they're also available for purchase as PDF's on Ravelry). Our current must-have project is the Quintessential Cardigan Felted Tweed Version. (2) Choose the right yarn for the project. Rowan Felted Tweed is one of our favourite yarns and a brilliant choice for this cardigan. Felted Tweed comes in a stunning palette of colours, is a joy to knit with, blocks beautifully and never shows wear. Honestly! Garments we knit years ago (check out our shop sample Easy Folded Poncho knit in 2012) are still in perfect condition. (3) Swatch! Please! Read our Why Knit a Swatch posting here and Amy Herzog's Practical Tips on Swatching here and you'll be convinced.
