Vogue Knitting's Fall issue

'Watercolor' Shrug
In Vogue Knitting's Fall issue we love the "Stained Glass" cardigan designed by Annie Modesitt on page 63. Knit in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted hand-dyed variegated and solids edged with Grace boucle mohair, this is a clever design that can be worn as a cardigan, or turned upside down, it becomes a shrug. Our version came out great and we enjoyed doing it. We include some tips with the magazine in our kit offered in 5 color groups:

1. Watercolor with solid Manzinita and Grace Blackberry
2. Watercolor with solid Charcoal and Grace Blackberry
3. Tahoe with solid Periwinkle and Grace Blackberry
4. Tuscany with solid Navy and Grace Brick
5. Safari with solid Chocolate and Grace Brick
