Spring Projects in Milo and Serena
Warmer days call for lightweight layers, short sleeve tops, and natural fiber blends including linen and cotton. Now is a great time to cast on for a new project in season-spanning Serena or Milo!
Milo blends merino wool with fine linen for a yarn that is simultaneously rustic and elegant. Shown here are Elfreth, by Corrina Ferguson, and Gagran1’s Izu. Hilljstr’s Waiting for the Rain shawl is simply gorgeous in Milo with the pop of metallic alpaca/silk yarn. The linen retains its natural color through the dye process, resulting in a heathered effect perfect for blending in a fade-style project or a contrast in colors that benefits brioche. This is highlighted in the Hugo Shawl which is a new free pattern, available from your local yarn shop (LYS).
Serena has fantastic drape for scarves, wraps, cardigans, and summer tops. Keep in mind the fiber characteristics when you are planning your project and be sure to swatch! Cotton and alpaca do not have the elasticity of wool. The Fig Beret is a new free pattern, available from your local yarn shop. Peach Pullover is a new design by Sandi Prossner that is part of Spring 2018 Creative Knitting. Coronilla is a pattern we included in our Short Sleeve Sweaters post: shown here is wheatenmom’s version, knit in S2672 Lilac.
