Wow~ what an awesome inyerview! Louisa is such an interesting woman, I wanted to listen to her tell more about her work, and her designs and knitwear talents are just amazing! So are your knitted work as always Cat! LOL! Fleecy Huggys~ Dora 🙂
Great interview and so many knittable projects! I am particularly interested in the brown cardigan with the feather and fan lace collar and edging. Do you know which book this pattern is in? I would love to order some yarn from Yarn Market to knit that up! Thanks for your help.
I am very interested in knitting the cardigan that you first discussed with Louisa, where there was lace on the bottom, sleeves and created a collar. She said she knit that all in one piece and used the feather and fan pattern. Any chance you know the name of that pattern?
Thanks much and love your show. And I will remember to let Yarn.com know that I buy some of their yarns based on your recommendation
