hammersmith is coming...

hello fellow cable lovers!

Looking for epic twisting cables, a cozy mock turtleneck, and your fav sweatshirt fit? ME TOO! I made this sweater for cable lovers like us.

Hammersmith is coming at ya in ONE WEEK (Sept 4) and sports all those essentials and more.

This cozy modified-drop-saddle-shoulder pullover is full-on #TEAMSEAM, worked from the bottom up from optional tubular cast-ons provided. The cables flow beautifully from the 2x2 ribbing on the hem and cuffs. The folded mock turtleneck uses the same squishy 2x2 ribbing.

Hammersmith is made in Harrisville Designs Nightshades, an American Cormo, woolen-spun dark beauty with shots of color running throughout. Good luck settling on a colorway.

While I loved working with Nightshades, I also recommend Hudson + West Co. Forge, De Rerum Natura Gilliatt, or any light worsted/DK yarn of your fancy.

In the spirit of casting on asap, see the specs below for yarn ordering or stash diving.
