And here are a few stills of the swatch cause it's so pretty & I love the WS too! Swipe for WS & cut edge shots. Yarn is @moekeyarns Elena & the motifs are Links & Mustard from AlterKnit Stitch Dictionary. P.S. The Moeke swatches are now on the Swatch Project section of my blog.

I've been wanting to try this yarn for ages - @twigandhorn Stone Wool, 100% American Cormo. If you don't know about Cormo, I'm delighted to tell you about it & if you do know, then you're already excited about this one. Cormo sheep are a cross between Merino & Corriedale & the wool is soft like Merino, but also very bouncy. So far I can tell that this yarn has incredible squish, resilience, & softness. It's a 2-ply worsted weight base that's been prepared to be halfway between worsted & woolen spun. It's light, but strong. (I can break it with my hands, but it takes more effort than Shelter, for example.) I just grabbed one skein this time, so I think I'll have enough for some extensive swatching plus a Mill Hill Toque that I plan to gift. If I've piqued your interest about Cormo, another favorite is Elsa Wool & I'd love to try @sinceresheep Cormo, & @jillmakesstuff Mohonk.
Since I gave a few of you a heart attack with my sweater cutting, here's adorable Jaimeson to soothe your nerves. He's wearing the Little Dude cardigan (which was steeked 😉😬). Link to pattern in profile 👉 Get that holiday knitting started this weekend!
