Schiehallion Point Pullover - design inspiration and a 2020 escape

Image
The Schiehallion Point Pullover  This design was a couple of months project for the Hook & Light Advent Calendar, where I almost completed it... and then frogged the whole lot and started again (a really bad trait of mine). But working with 24 glorious 20g mini skeins of Falkland  merino 4ply by Hook & Light was a real honor and pleasure I was happy to do it all over again. The colours they achieve from nature just blows my mind! I have tried to dye some of my own yarn (from one of their kits) with varied success, but I do hope to try some more.      This is a relaxed and comfortable fit tunic length pullover, with meditative and calming moss stitch gives a gorgeous rhythm and showcases the ebbs and flows of the natural charm and beauty of the variations in colour. Subtle yet striking seaming details add a touch of fun and difference. Grab your tools, get cosy, enjoy the surprise each day, trust the process, and indulge in your finished garment in January, February and beyond.
