The Sweater
: Lovenote by Tincan Knits

The Yarn: Araucania Huasco Sock 75% Super Wash Merino and 25% Poliamide ( like Nylon) and in the very uninspiring but beautifully earthy Capucian Bird. 

Jorstad Creek Isle of Skye Mohair Silk 70% Superkid Mohair 30% Mulberry silk lace weight in the super sweet Apricot

The Designer: The powerhouse design team at Tin Can Knits. They have done amazing work and made knitting extra approachable for lots of knitters!!

The Details: I opted for no collar on this sweater. Not something that I would usually skip, but I left it off this time. Perhaps I will add it on later, but for now I like the delicate soft edge.
Another note, this sweater seems to need to be steamed frequently to not get that lovely crease in the front. Also, I love the balloon sleeves, but might change the cuff because I don’t love the way it feels putting it on.
Just in time for the month of love and 💕 I finished this sweet and very romantic feeling sweater. Maybe those two words don’t often go together, “Romantic Sweater” but when I showed the project to my husband he was wowed. The feminine lace detail at the mid yoke add excitement when paired with a sultry tank or strapless dress. The softness of the mohair makes this sweater feel extra special. Now to plan a romantic date to wear my lovely new sweater!
