But wait, there’s more! We were lucky enough to just get in a few copies of the re-release of Elsebeth Lavold Designer’s Choice Book One: The Viking Knits Collection – 13 classic patterns for women, men, and children all knit in Silky Wool.
A light and drapy Ljod cardigan is a great transitional piece to take you from the air conditioning of summer to the cool breezes of fall.
