Pulling inspiration from a modern earth-tone palette, this Spring collection from Elizabeth Smith uses clean, simple lines and floral eyelet details to create light, transitional layers that are as easy to knit as they are to wear. Top-down or bottom-up, garment or accessory, Elizabeth's thoughtfully crafted collection for Manos del Uruguay is sure to have something that will please!
--
This asymmetrical scarf/shawl combines simple stockinette stitch and eyelet details with the visual interest of a marled fabric -- created by double-stranding a Fino Mini-Skein Set with a Fino full skein. Mountain Laurel is relaxing knitting that’s still interesting, with color changes that keep you excited to see what’s next!
