Chaleur.

Posted by on Dec 12, 2011 in my creative space

So pleased to release my latest design.
Which I have been wearing for weeks now.
A soft, cozy companion.

Keeping me so chaleur
(and looking très chic)
on these cold winter days.

I’m so in love with herringbone at the moment.
This ‘popover’ uses a vertical stitch pattern.
I also have a horizontal stitch (scarf/wrap) pattern in the works.

More details about this pattern found here.

For fun, and as a sort of pre-holiday gift,
I will be giving three free patterns away!
Please leave me a comment below to enter.
I will announce the winners on Monday, 12/19.

    This is so much more chic than the oversized sweater I slouch around in :)

    Love your design aesthetic–simple, modern, classy.

    I am an attorney and always looking for hand knit garments that are professional enough for an office day full of client meetings. This certainly would be perfect AND it would keep me warm under our office’s blasting AC 365 days a year. I love love love the chic simplicity of this pattern which is complimented perfectly with the stylish herringbone stitch pattern. Je serais ravi d’être sélectionné.

    I’m in Love with this sweater!!! So chic! Looks so lovely, warm and flattering! And the neckline is perfect for keeping cozy but not restricting! Beautiful job Julie. You must’ve knitting another one soon…. You’ll need a spare!
    Cheers!

  • Gillian on Dec 14, 2011

    I have been looking for a pattern like this for ages! I love all of your patterns, classic and simple and very wearable – so often I end up knitting things I don’t wear but I think this wouldn’t make it to the wardrobe shelf! Brilliant for a British winter.

  • Ayesha on Dec 14, 2011

    This is absolutely fantastic! I normally don’t knit sweaters or anything like them, but I’m willing to give this “popover” a try! Congrats on the lovely pattern.

    love this so much – it’s the middle of summer here and I just love the idea of knitting this in preparation for winter. I live in a windy coastal town so an oversized sweater is just perfect.

  • Jen (Yarn Play Café) on Dec 13, 2011

    Oooo I just bought some of this yarn and went to Ravelry to see what I could make with it. This is so nice! I’d love to make it. Thanks.

  • Kathi on Dec 13, 2011

    My daughter would love this! Thanks for the chance at a free copy of the pattern.

  • carlene on Dec 13, 2011

    I love this! Would love a free pattern (but if I don’t win, I’ll still buy one) (but don’t let that stop you from picking me as a winner)

    :D
