After much too long an absence I visited our lovely Tuesday evening safari class tonight and was so impressed with the beautiful projects they were working on, from lovely shawls to a very colorful and fabulous Fair Isle scarf from the pattern Kimmswick by Julie Hoover. You would never guess that this scarf was Tuesday evening safari class member PATTY O’MALLEY’S FIRST Fair Isle project! Patty is using CASCADE CHERUB ARAN yarn. What yummy yarn will you...

The CASCADE SIERRA QUATTRO yarn was just the ticket and this very simple vanilla top down cardigan pattern made sizing a snap. It literally is a perfect basic first sweater for anyone out...
