Carol Hurt's Sweaters - Sampler #1

The Randomly Slanted Sweater, designed by Valentina Devine, is in Knitter's Magazine #58, Spring 2000, page 50. I loved making it. Made it to a finished size 52” and used La Lana Wools which were beautifully dyed. The 2-needle technique is so much fun and works up very fast. The yarn from LaLana MADE it! It's expensive but worth every $$$ and it doesn't take nearly as much as the pattern calls for. Call La Lana for the “new” yardage calculations, and even then I had one to return.

The Diamond Patch Sweater

My favorite - Jill Vosburg's Diamond Patch sweater from Just One More Row in Prism Bon-Bon (I used 1200 yards for sweater to fit my 45” bust).

I used 52-stitch diamonds on size 8 needles for the first three rows, then went down a needle size to 7s for the last two rows. The Diamond Patch was a knit-along project on Ample-Knitters, check out our Diamond Patch Hints.

Cover Sweater from Berroco #183

Done cuff-to-cuff in Smart Cotton (the pink), Gold Metallica, and off-white Glace by Berroco. The fourth yarn was Prism Bon-Bon in a space-dyed white to pink. Edged with a backward single crochet.

Colinette T-Top

This one was knitted with Lapis Isis.

“Blue Illusion” by Ginger Luters

This was knitted with Lorna's Laces gorgeous Shepherd wool - buttons also by Lorna's Laces, dyed to match.

This pattern is available in the KnitNet First Edition CD-ROM October 1998 to July 1999, from KnitNet, an online knitting magazine.

Anjuli

No variations other than using one size larger needles to give me a slightly larger size.

This cardigan was designed by Jo Sharp, and can be found in her book Rudgyard Story.
