blisco
Lily again! Just thought I’d show my latest design for summer, Blisco.
Pattern: Blisco, my own, hopefully to be released soon.
Yarn: Sirdar Calico in Chambray and Sirdar Baby Bamboo in Banjo Blue.
Needles: 3.75mm circulars and dpn’s.
There was a gap in my wardrobe for a simple, but well fitting, summer sweater. I really loved how the simultaneous set-in sleeves on Langdale fit me so well, and I wanted to use the same method on Blisco. A cool yoke construction and a vent detail at the hemline added interesting highlights to the neatness of the stocking stitch.
I-cord around the edges gives a really clean look; with this in mind I chose crisp summery colours and the highly contrasting buttons added the finishing touch.
Photographing Blisco proved quite a challenge, we had a mini heatwave here at the weekend and the bright sunshine washed out the blue a little bit. Forgive the varying tones in the photographs please! 
Cute! Your hair is getting so long!
Wow, Lily Kate. What a gorgeous creation. You are so very talented!!
simply beautiful, Lily!
What an elegant knit! I love the i-cord edging and the bright red buttons. Fantastic little details! You look lovely!
Very nice Lily. It’s all about the details and you didn’t compromise one!
Looks beautiful, Lily!
Love (1,000) I definitely want to give this a try!
I love the shape and the 3/4 sleeves! The contrast edging is brilliant.
What a terrific sweater design! It looks lovely on you and I really like the design touches you added.
Beautiful. Love that you wrote the pattern for circular and dpns. It’s so lovely to be finished when you are finished knitting – no seams to sew.
I love the colors you chose! Your details, as everyone is saying, take a perfectly basic, serviceable sweater, and make it particular and special.
It looks gorgeous Lily. The McCafferty I knit will be headed to Canada soon, I’m donating it to a friend so she can put it in her church’s silent auction. I might have to knit myself another one at a later date
very pretty, I love the little vent detail
That is so cute! Love it! Love how it fits so well!!!
It looks really good on you! I love those simple knits that are looking stunning because of little details! Congratulations for this new design!
That is such a beautiful example of why knitting is brilliant!
It’s gorgeous!!!!! I can’t wait for you to release it!
Lily!! That’s gorgeous!! You are so talented and you are a lady now! You have grow up a lot since I follow your blog!!!
Blisco looks so chic and elegant! Love the various accents.
Simply gorgeous Lily. I am going to have to try out that i-cord edging I think. Is it easy to do.
