Yesterday I finished my last holiday knitting, so it is time to think about my next, selfish knitting project! So it is fitting to be launching BEDROCK, which is exactly the type of project I would choose. A stunning everyday cardigan featuring an easy fit, all-in-one-piece construction, an I-cord front edge that is continued on the back of the neck, big patch pockets (optional) and no buttons. And, it is knit in one of my favorite yarns: Madelinetosh DK Twist or Tosh DK.

Check out the projects to see just how perfect it is for your JUL closure!

Hope you like it…
