On Deck

• Daelyn Pullover by isabelle kraemer – worsted crew (stockinette front/reverse stockinette back)

• Oatmeal by Libby Johnson – DK weight v neck

• Weekender by Andrea Mowry – worsted – everyone has done it but I’ve seen it flattering on all body types (but texture on yoke)

• Carson by Megan Nodecker – DK with texture on the shoulders/yoke (sigh), wider at the neck which I really like

• Sun Rose by Laura AYlor tiny row of eyelet at waiste and sleeve; dang it – texture on yolk
