Ilha

You can surely bet that this beauty will be in heavy rotation this season...It's such a lovely pullover! The textured yoke, inspired by basket weaving from the Portuguese village of Ilha, was so much fun to knit. I loved watching the set of stitches take shape. Knitting for Olive Merino combined with Silk Mohair made knitting the stockinette a dream. I love the cable detail down the body of the sweater. My daughters might be stealing this one from me!

I did make a wee modification because I prefer a tighter neckline. You can check out my notes on Raverly!
