Prism Raglan


One of my newest original creations. The pattern is based loosely on numbers provided for raglan sweaters in Ann Budd's book The Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns. Additional details include false cables in place of the traditional raglan shaping at the shoulders and flare shaping at the waist and wrists.

Yarn used: Prism (Hue: Beaver Creek), a hand-dyed sport weight 50/50 blend of silk and merino wool. Hand-dyed by Shirley Ellsworth of Lambspun of Colorado. Sadly, their website isn't updated regularly. But the store has lovely fibers and yarn.

Pattern will be available for sale, ladies bust sizes 30"-44", around mid-November.

Additional pictures will be added shortly...

Hey, Silly! I think I was there when you got this book for your birthday/Christmas?? I know you were out-of-your-mind happy getting an Ann Budd book. Congrats on a beautiful sweater! Denyse/fiberbrarian (in North Dakota)

Welcome!

Thanks for visiting Miss Silly Knits! I love to knit and crochet, and creating garments and accessories allows me a fabulous outlet for my creativity.

I have spent years admiring the creations of master craftsmen in a variety of trades. I strive to create pieces that are as beautiful as they are functional.
