Marianne Isager's Ju Dou Sweater Knitting Kit.
I did fall in love with this Marianne Isager's Ju Dou sweater the moment I first saw it at the trade show. The colours were just so juicy and fabulous! Now the pattern is out and I have got in the Isager Tvinni yarn specially for this colour scheme in stock. If you do feel it is too bright for you, please feel free to ask me for other colour or yarn suggestions. But I will be knitting mine in this bright splash of yellows, oranges and pinks.
The kit includes all the yarn, enough to knit up to size 6 and digital pattern which will come direct from Ravelry.com into your mailbox.
