Hineri

Years ago, I met Olga online during a KAL.  I cannot consider myself luckier.  She is not only a prolific and successful designer, but I find her viewpoint and expression to be genius.  Her modern sensibilities are steeped with Japanese simplicity, but still somehow maintain a beautiful sense of tradition.  Obviously, I am a huge fan.  And so flattered to be able to call her a friend.

When I needed a quick knit for a friend's birthday present, I cast-on for Hineri, a free pattern from Olga.  It's gloriously quick to knit and has just enough twist to make it eye-catching.

I used the prescribed yarn, Rowan Cocoon.  While mohair isn't my favorite, I appreciate the added halo it gives ordinary wool.

Now, let's hope it gets cold enough for my friend to enjoy wearing it.
