A little bird told me that there will be another summer sweater knit along over at Luvinthemommyhood in a couple of months. Despite my "re-knit", I am really having a ball with the tops, tanks & tees knit along. It's great fun to be knitting with other people, I'm enjoying the chit chat on the knit-along Ravelry thread and it's certainly keeping me at it. So, I'm definitely joining in next time. Oooo la la! More selfish stuff. You know it's just what I love, but shhhh, don't tell the kids.
So, because I just can't help myself... I've started looking for a pattern already. Choices, choices! I can't cope. I've managed to narrow it down to TEN lovely sweaters. Okay, nine lovely sweaters and a capelet (does that count? Oh well, it's in). Now, I need your help.
Will you please pick the sweater you would like to see me knit? Pretty please? They're lined up below for you to see and links to pattern details are below each photo. You can vote, in the poll on the right sidebar. Click on your favourite, or even favourites. Because I understand the lure of lovely patterns I'll let you vote more than once. Who knows? If there's a tie, I might have to knit two ;)
Voting will be open until the end of the weekend. I'll let you know which one has won next week, and then I'll start drooling over yarn and knitting my swatch!
So, here they are - the lovely line up.... in alphabetical order...

That was so much fun - I couldn't choose between the caplet and the ingenue. I can't wait to see what you do!!! Love Kate xxooxx.
ReplyDeleteI think they are all appealing, but went for Lanata and Ingenue
ReplyDeleteI have quite a few of those at the top of my queue! I vote Laika or Flowing lines :)
ReplyDeleteLantana looks like it would keep your interest, while Kerrera looks easy and somewhat mindless, a great quality in a summer knit (or book). All look wonderfully stylish.
ReplyDeleteI choose Cranberry Capelet or Flowing Lines and if you are not in the mood for cables how about Lanata....they are all so nice I am glad I am not having to pick for myself :-)
ReplyDeleteI would chose Romy, so gorgeous. :)
ReplyDeleteooooh, look at all of those choices!
ReplyDeleteMy two favorite are Narragansett and the Cranberry Caplet.
Oh yes, I voted! There is some great inspiration in this post, and even more "me" items added to my Rav queue. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNarragansett!
ReplyDeleteI think Ingenue for some reason, simple but classic!
ReplyDeleteI say Romy or the Cabled Capelet! Both are such classics. Beautiful choices! Now I'm going to have to go and reconsider my own queue... ;)
ReplyDeleteI would like to casto on for about half of those right now, I love the patterns so much! But, no I can't do that, I must finish the three sweaters I have going right now.
ReplyDeleteI vote Narragansett by Thea Coleman, I think I like it the best, although they really are all great choices!
ReplyDeleteI voted for Romy but the rest are gorgeous too!
ReplyDeleteI think Lanata is a great pattern and will probably be very useful.
ReplyDeleteI picked ingenue or Narraganset - they're all lovely tho! Have fun knitting the winner!
ReplyDeleteIngenue - as the first one from that list. They're all really nice (and I'm sure I've got some of them on my 'potential knits' list.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea!! I can't wait to see what you end up making. I added a couple to my queue :)
ReplyDeleteNarraganset and Kerrera! I just couldn't pick one! Great idea with voting :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is too difficult. I can't choose. I vote you knit them all; put them in a hat and draw one out to see which is first.
ReplyDeleteOh what fun! Thanks for letting us help--Lanata is my vote!
ReplyDeleteNarragansett! It's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis was easy - Ingenue, hands down, from one of my fav Wendy Barnard books. Go Ingenue, go!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so pretty. The lanata is my vote. It looks like a nice pattern for spring.
ReplyDeleteYou've had such a busy, creative week! I love the voting idea (and the gadget!) - they're all fab, but went for Ingenue in the end.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Kerrera by Gudrun Johnston.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I'd go for Cranberry Capelet by Thea Coleman ;-)
ReplyDeleteI made something very similar to the cranberry capelet and love it - that is my vote!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh....I vote for Jane or Thea. both are awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to vote for Narragansett. It's just so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Ingenue... I have loved that pattern since it was published.
ReplyDeleteIn order of preference:
ReplyDeleteLanata by Amy Christoffers
Ingenue by Wendy Bernard
Flowing Lines by Veera Välimäki
Having said that, your list of ten are all great candidates.
hugs
They are gorgeous but my favorite (and one I hope to knit one day) is the Narragansett. Maybe I'll join luvinthemommhood's KAL this summer, too!
ReplyDeleteI think I like Laika and Lanata the best.
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with the Cranberry Capelet immediately, and nothing else could sway me. :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I am really into cardigans right now, so I voted for Kerrera and Romy and Laika. But really, any of the projects on the list would be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLanata........absolutely stood out head and shoulders above the rest and it would look really lovely on you plus could be a cardigan or buttoned up as a jumper.
ReplyDeleteKerrera. I have that in my queue, it is lovely
ReplyDeleteLove the post ! Your choices are very interesting !
ReplyDeleteMy favourites would be Flowing Lines, Ingenue and Laika, but I think it really depends on you body shape.
I like cranberry caplet and ingenue
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you can't choose! I could only narrow it down by remembering it was supposed to be a sumner knit (although looking out the window, maybe that doesn't help).
ReplyDeleteI always have to say Jane Richmond, but as a second vote I'd say Flowing Lines by Veera Välimäki. Good luck!
