It’s that time of year again and if, like me, you are feeling the warmer weather as Summer approaches, you may be searching for a project that will be comfortable to knit and wear. A little something special that will dress up a simple outfit for a party, wedding or just to look fabulous in while keeping away the chills of evening breezes or air conditioning.<\/p>\n

The first of two summer patterns I’ll be sharing, Antique<\/strong> features two fabulous ARTYARNS fibers, and is a fun pattern to knit –\u00a0 and it looks great on any age or body type. Stay tuned for my next design, WALTZER!<\/p>\n

ANTIQUE – Heather Dixon<\/p><\/div>\n

Antique is worked in Artyarns Silk Rhapsody Glitter<\/a> in colour\u00a0#250G, with stripes of Artyarns Ensemble 4<\/a> in colour #H-8, my favourite gold – it is just stunning!<\/p>\n

An easy rectangle shape, this simple lace stitch is easy to\u00a0 remember and makes this wrap drape beautifully.<\/p>\n

Use a gorgeous Shawl Pin<\/a> to close your wrap, chose one by Rosemary Hill<\/a>, to compliment your colour choice.<\/p>\n
