As the warm breezes of summer beckon us outdoors, there’s no better time to indulge in a light, relaxing knitting project. During my recent visit to the charming Isager Yarn company in Denmark, I stumbled upon the perfect pattern for the seasonal summer (and not only!!!) knitting: an easy knit shawl that epitomizes summer elegance. This delightful pattern requires just two balls of Isager Alpaca 1 lace weight yarn, making it both an affordable and manageable project for knitters of all levels.
A regular feature of the Shetland Wool Week is the release of a knitting pattern to promote the event. In previous years, I've always admired the fabulous patterns and had customers coming in to show off their versions. So, this year, I've upped my game and decided to knit the fabulous hat myself now, well in advance of the event.

I had to share the news with you. I have finished my Pearls jumper by Helga Isager and I am absolutely thrilled with the result. This was the jumper I did fall in love when I first visited Isager yarns stand at the trade show a few years ago and Helga was wearing it. I had a jumper envy straight away.
