Maureen fell in love with corrugated ribbing years ago watching a Meg Swanson video on Fair Isle sweaters. She’s used it in many of her own sweaters on the cuffs and hem, but she wanted to give it more attention. So why not put it front and center! We hope you will enjoy knitting it and explore some new color combinations.

The Outer Banks of North Carolina are a magical place; soft sand dunes flow into warm water and gentle ocean breezes cool even the warmest summer day. This lightweight cardigan provides the perfect protection against the evening chill when you take one last walk along the water at sunset. This sweater skims along your curves just as the graceful pelicans glide along the curl of a wave. Its soft woolen fabric will stretch along with you providing a close and flattering fit that never feels bulky.

This simple shawl is worked from side to side, making the garter ridges vertical rather than horizontal to contrast nicely with the lace border. The lace border is worked as you go along, so there are no seams and nothing to be added.

These mitts are a fun way to keep your hands warm and your fingers free. If you have small amounts of Mountain Mohair in your stash, you can use them to make these garter stitch striped mitts even more colorful.
If you want matching mitts, you’ll need more of the main color.
