Lise Kolstad & Tone Takle Sweater with Birds, Cables, & Embroidery Kit

Description

Kit for Lise Kolstad & Tone Talke's Sweater with Birds, Cables & Embroidery - Rauma Finullgarn
The design team of Lisa Kolstad and Tone Talke took the world by storm in the early 1990's with their bright vibrant sweaters based on traditional patterns from Norway.  Here we offer a complete kit to knit one of the designs from their book,
More Sweaters,
published in 1992.  In their own words "we have used only two colors in knitting this sweater, and then enhanced the design by embroidery.  The sleeves and the body have cables instead of regular ribbing."   Knit in five shades of Rauma Finullgarn, a fingering weight (also called Shetland weight) 100% wool yarn made in Norway.  The pattern comes in four sizes - S to XL.  Knit in the round with classic fair isle technique.  Suitable for intermediate knitters comfortable with traditional two color in a row technique. The pattern calls for an average tension of 27 stitches and 32 rounds to 4 inches (10 cm) on US 3 (3 mm) needles.
