A bright pop of colour is just what I needed to get me feeling ready for Summer. It wouldn't be me if my knitting needles weren't busy, and its no exception when the sun is out.
These cable jumpers (or sweaters if you're over the pond) are made from a beautiful blend of cotton, silk and cashmere. They are super soft and, even better, the cotton fibre means that they will be just right on a mild summer night but can also keep you really cosy in the real winter chill.

The colours are so complimentary, ranging from deep French Navy and Peony to delicate Lilac, Rose and Sky Blue.
Each jumper is finished with three buttons, sewn on by hand using carefully colour-matched thread.
I've thoroughly enjoyed working the cables on the fronts. The pattern is made up of a complex mix of traditional cables combined with more modern geometric repeats.
The backs and sleeves are worked in a 4-stitch offset pattern that creates a beautiful background texture.
With a care label sewn in, they are finished and ready to go.

This little family of jumpers is making its way to America.
Bon Voyage!
