It’s definitely spring around here! I can tell because:
- My kid won’t stop talking about his birthday.
- I’m dying to get out and start planting the garden.
- I’m constantly sneezing.
What’s an allergy-ridden, indoor kid to do when the weather turns? Oh that’s right. Knit! (Or at least daydream about knitting.)
If I had infinite time and energy, I’d definitely make myself a lovely new spring sweater. Shall we window-shop through Ravelry together?
Rift by Jacqueline Cieslak
Such a stylish-yet-comfy silhouette. I love the subtle shoulder and hem details, and the slightly-textured yarn she chose for the samples. Can you imagine it in a cotton-wool blend? Or better yet: a nubbly slik? Ugh. To die for.

Or what about this darling little number? Can you imagine a more perfect springtime cardigan? I love the sweet little shoulder details. Plus the wool+mohair combo? Perfection!
Dustland Sweater by Stephen West
If I’m being honest, it’s still pretty chilly around here (despite what I want to believe), so maybe this is the best way to go. A lovely, textured pullover in a fantastic spring color. I usually like to switch up the colors of sweaters I make, but honestly, I can’t imagine this in a better color. That electric lime might just be exactly what I need in my wardrobe.
If you could magically knit up a sweater right now, what would you make?
Next in my queue is the Ranunculus. I’ve heard so much about it and can’t wait to knit one for myself.
