It has brought me so much joy to see ALL the Love Note<\/a> sweaters, on Ravelry,<\/a> on Instagram<\/a>, and in person at Knit City<\/a>. So many beautiful combinations of yarns and colours, on all different bodies too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was only Day 1! It was a heart warming experience to see all the beautiful Love Notes wander by the booth!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Love Note is not just for grown ups!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While our initial concept was definitely a grown up party sweater (you can read all about Emily’s sweater inspiration here<\/a>), there’s no need to keep all the fun for ourselves! Love Note is ultra cute on kids too. I knit these two for Bodhi and her buddy Liv and they couldn’t have been more adorable picking flowers in the field!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bodhi was so smitten with her Love Note<\/a> she has requested mittens that are “as soft as my pretty hairy sweater” (kid descriptions are the best). Check out the mittens that resulted from this request<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Bien Aimee<\/a> Mohair in ‘PB&J’ and Singles in ‘neon static’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While knitters have made Love Notes<\/a> in all manner of yarns, we knit up the originals and these wee ones with a strand of mohair held together with a strand of single ply fingering weight yarn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These magical little sweaters took 1 ball of each, the single and the mohair. I made them both using skeins of beautiful La Bien Aimee<\/a> yarns I couldn’t resist when we visited Aimee in Paris last year. Liv’s is made using ‘neon static’ for the single and ‘PB&J’ for the mohair. It’s amazing how the layering has made a completely new colour! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bodhi’s Love Note<\/a> is ‘rust’ on ‘rust’. Same or similar-colour tonal combinations are a ‘sure thing’ if you are worried how a more adventurous combination would come out. Learn more about blending with mohair in this post<\/a>, Emily made about a million swatches to demonstrate the painterly beauty of layering colours! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently cast on a Love Note<\/a> sweater for Hunter too (she couldn’t miss out on all the fun!). This one is made using Hedgehog Fibers<\/a> in the colourway ‘beach bunny’ for both the mohair and the single. It has a lovely wild quality layering a speckle on a speckle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
