Echo

$10.00

Echo is a bottom-up raglan sweater, featuring stripes and 2x2 ribbing. Super fun to knit, and so lightweight, thanks to the beautiful Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok Light. Take your knitting to the next level with the techniques and special details you’ll learn and find as you knit your sweater. I designed this sweater for my beloved LYS, Blazing Needles, 15th birthday! Happy Birthday, Blazing! I love you all to pieces! xo
