Colette Redux
Sometimes the sweater models that I use for shows get a little shopworn and need to be replaced.
In knitting up the Colette Jacket again, I decided to change the yarn to something with a loftier hand in a deeper color.
Here is Colette just yesterday as I finished up the last sleeve and had pressed the pieces. The color is called Oceana.
And here she is today:
She knitted up ultra-fast in only 5 1/2 days of very casual knitting and with the new yarn was far more economical than the one I formerly offered for this style. The old yarnpack was $73 USD in this size ( 35″ bust ), but in our new Cascade Soft Spun is only $41.25 USD.
Who can’t use a little price break in today’s economy? And I can’t think of anything else to do that’s this much fun for under $50!

This is awesome! I’ve never seen your designs in person, but this is so awesome, and such a great price point now, I think I’m going to purchase this so I can make it though even though I’ve been unemployed over 9 months!
If I eliminated some of the lace – either on the front or the sleeves, would you recommend getting extra yarn to ensure I have enough?
