Christmas Green

Christmas time is coming. It’s time to wear my Christmas green cardigan Woolly Dolly. I designed this cardigan in an autumn morning last year. I was in a plaza with my family. I was sitting on a bench. I saw a Christmas green down coat in a shop’s window at the opposite side of the plaza. It was so far away that I could not see the details. So my imagination designed this sweater. It’s always a great source of inspiration when I cannot see something clearly.

I began looking for the perfect Christmas green yarn. Cascade Greenland had that right color. I contacted Cascade Yarns and they generously offered yarn support. Unfortunately by the time the pattern was released, that yarn has been discontinued.

Here are some yarn substitution ideas:
