ANNA

ANNA is a modern take on stranded colorwork, with an open neckline and ¾ length sleeves. The body is worked in the round from the bottom up, then divided at the underarm; the front and back are worked flat to the shoulders. The sleeves are picked up at the armhole edge and worked top down, in the round.

Kelsey created a new colorway in her beautiful Homestead Sport using Mr. Fancy, one of the hummingbirds I feed as inspiration. She did an amazing job of capturing all the vibrant colors he likes to show off. It was so much fun watching the colors change as I knit along.
