Spring sweater success! We decided to photograph not in the town of Calistoga this time, but again at the castle. Late morning brought very bright sun and was very warm after weeks of cool rainy days. Oh, and great news is … Continue reading
Folks, it is the Vernal Equinox today, and the very first day of Spring! As my nieces for whom I’ve made these darling little spring tees ( and finished over a week ago, well ahead of deadline) can’t make this morning’s scheduled equinox photoshoot … er… ‘capturing of photographical images’ …. we had to postpone, hopefully only until next weekend. But as I had my heart set on marking the day with a post of these tees (with or without their recipients) I thought I’d show ’em off hanging from my walking stick.
What you are seeing is Calidez redesigned ! That is, redesigned with ‘four seasons’ of necklines ~ and shown above is Spring in dark blue with half depth neckline, and Summer in mint green with full depth neckline. Besides having lower necklines, these Calidez pullovers are worked in Malabrigo “Rios” which is worsted weight 100% superwash merino wool, with short sleeve option, and having a very open seasonal fabric and possessing excellent elasticity. Here is the Spring neckline detail . . .
Next time you will see these tees on Miss Thirteen & Miss Sixteen, so watch this space~~ and Happy Spring to all!
News from Northern California as the drops fall heavily is that another spring is on its way. Vernal Equinox this year is Sunday, March 20, in two weeks exactly, and therefore I have a goal. I am confident I will finish these, and feeling easy enough about it to share progress reports along the way. Here they are, the straight-away torso sections of Spring Tee’s for Miss Sixteen & Miss Thirteen, in luxurious & soft worsted-weight Malabrigo Rios, (seriously beautiful yarn folks!) in colors Water Green and Bobby Blue. Pattern to be used ~ Calidez ~ and later updated to include this ‘lighter weight’ tee option with lower a choice of swooping springy neckline with short-short sleeves… so yes, you might say these are prototypes! Watch this space as they grow before your eyes. Personally , I am charmed off my feet by them.
