A recent trip to Oregon’s high desert region taught me a quick lesson: even though it’s 80+ during the day, dinner time after sunset can be a chilly surprise…
I love wearing little dresses when I go out and started digging in my stash of “sock” yarns to put together a lightweight but cozy little sweater to bridge the gap.
One of my favorite dresses is a black & white polka dot number – fitted and just slightly fancy with a low v-neck & one, just one, ruffle.
It became my inspiration for this slightly lacy cardigan – in ochre yellow to replace the setting sun…

It went up on the fit mannequin a few times to make sure it was behaving to measure apre-swatch.
