The Yarniacs: A Knitting Podcast

So what are you wearing?
Well, yesterday I wore my Ebbetts Cardigan, which is a pattern by Elizabeth Doherty.
I think I wear that a lot this time of year because I knit mine in a linen yarn, which is light and not too warm and really good for changing or variable temperatures.
Ebbetts is a textured longer cardigan with open fronts that was originally written for a wool yarn.
And like I said, I took a chance to knit it in linen, and it worked for me.
I really like it.
Produced a very drapey fabric.
I also love the fact that if it gets wrinkled, just like any other linen, you can throw it in the dryer to smooth it-
That's very nice
... and iron it.
Don't have to be fragile with it.
Linen is such a versatile fiber.
It can take the heat.
So I really like that.
I would consider making it again in wool.
And since this is apparently my year of making things again, it's probably-
Hmm
... it's on that list.
I don't know if I would actually finish it this year, but it's, it's a possibility.
So Ebbetts by Elizabeth Doherty.
What are you wearing, Gail?
Okay, you guys.
This was not planned I was wearing yesterday my Latitude sweater by-
