After a few spring-like, warm days, we have been hit with intermittent rain, and tornado warnings. No matter how wet it has been though, the drab browns are changing to lovely greens! Let's get some warm weather knits on our needles!
The Three Season Tee by Wool & Pine has been the most requested pattern we’ve ever published. You loved the cardigan but you wanted short sleeves. A tee for the warm months, one that’s light and flirty, a knit you could actually wear in July.
Customize the length and ease to make it your own, choose less for a slimmer fit or more so it’s loose and breezy. Bonus points for the built-in air conditioning: lace sides that let you breathe, with stunning cables and texture running front and back so you can show off your knitting prowess from every angle.
Three Season Tee is worked seamlessly from the top down. The front panels begin with a provisional cast-on and are worked flat, then joined at the v-neck and continued flat to the underarm.
Back shoulders are picked up from the provisional cast-on and worked flat with back-of-neck shaping, then joined and worked as one piece down to the armholes.
At the underarm, the body is joined and worked in the round. The neckline and armholes are both picked up and finished with ribbing in the round.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Three Season Tee is designed for 4–8” (10–20 cm) of positive ease at the bust.
To choose your size:

- Add 4–8”.

Example: If your bust is 37”, choose:

Honey Petal by Andrea Mowry is her newest pattern and similar to her Frost Lines.
As we move into the warmer months, the air conditioning had her wishing she had a little cardigan to toss on whenever she needed it all year round. With a gentle v-neck and a fun play on stripes, this cardigan can be worked up in a cotton/linen/silk blend yarn for those warmer months of the year, or pick out a nice squishy wool yarn for added warmth during the colder seasons!
This raglan cardigan is knit from the top down (meaning you can try it on as you go and add length to suit your own personal style!), seamlessly, beginning with the yoke. Once the yoke is completed, the sleeves are placed on hold while the body is knit. The sleeves are then returned to the needle and knit down from the body. The button band is picked up around the front opening and knit out.

FOs and WIPs
On Monday, I started the first sleeve on my Kitsch Cardigan by Sedna Knitting Test Knit.
I am now using magic loop on the sleeve since I am using 3.0 mm needles which for ChiaoGoo interchangeables are in the mini size. I started out with 16 inch fixed but there is too much of a jump to use a 12 inch fixed.
I have the short rows, ribbing and tubular bind off finished on my Jilli Jumper by Anne Ventzel. It is stretchy but looks a little tight so hopefully it will block out. I also used the weavin stephen method but did not like it with this yarn so I unpicked it. Now there is a stretch of loose stitches in the front that I need to tighten up by spreading it across the row. Sleeve one is now started.
