Join us on three Monday evenings, Nov. 7, 14, and 28, for Western Rose. In this pattern by Thea Coleman beautiful flowers stand out against the stockinette body. This sweater is knit from the bottom up. Sleeves are joined at yoke and then both raglan shaping and short rows are added before working the final collar.  The mosaic technique makes colorwork a breeze! You can get more info and sign up here.
