New Pattern Release: Fallow Fields Pullover

This is the second project in my Fall in Vermont collection release.  The Fallow Fields Pullover is a unisex sweater with lots of interesting twisted stitch patterning and an occasional cable to keep you interested.  It's knitted in a lovely, soft alpaca/merino sportweight yarn from Trinity Ridge Alpacas in Texas, but any soft drapey sportweight yarn would work.  (I've suggested Berroco's Ultra Alpaca Light as a good substitute.)

While I blocked this version normally, I was really pleasantly surprised to find that, left unblocked, it completely changed this nice basic men's-shaped sweater into a gorgeously fitted, sophisticated silhouette due to the ribbing in the pattern.  The pattern is knit in pieces and seamed together, and then the twisted-stitch neckline is picked up and knit in the round.  

I wanted to convey the linear tracks left in the fields once the summer crops had been plowed under for the winter.  In fact, if you'd like to see my inspiration for this and the other designs in the collection, you can check out my Pinterest 

Next release in the collection up tomorrow!

All for now.....
