Astrid is the Bomb


This could easily become my next obsession, except for the fact that:
A. I've never knit Fair Isle
B. Holiday presents need to get started
C. I owe husband a sweater
But take a look anyway. And if you need to drink from the well, jump over here where the nice people from the Jeanie Townsend Group on Yahoo started a KAL. And to seduce you even more, here's the crack, I mean kit.

Hi Donnac, this is in reply to your comment on my Faux Russian Stole in rowanspun 4ply. I wouldn't describe it as scratchy, especially after a soak in wool wash. I would say it is a bit crunchy and rustic, but not unpleasant at all. Not soft like cashmere of course but pleasant on the neck. Hope that helps! :)

Hi,
thanks for your comments. The magazine is out of print - it will be difficult to find it, but I finished with it, so if you're keen on knitting this just drop me an email at sbutnarasu at yahoo dot com.

best wishes,
Silvia
