Knit/lab. The Palma Sweater: A unique knit. I've come across a really beautiful and unique sweater.

The Palma Sweater: A unique knit

It's the Palma Sweater (shown at left) by Lene Holme Samsøe. What initially drew me to this sweater was its simplicity: a cross-front sweater with three-quarter-length sleeves and a wide-rib collar. Then I saw the back, and it's made up of a stunning cable panel that incorporates a leafy vine set off with rope cables.

You know how I love leaves; add in the cables and it's a winner in my book. There's a third aspect to this sweater, though, that really puts it over the top. BrooklynTweed.

I never really put the words, "yogi" and "bolero" together in my mind before, but when this pattern was complete, it just seemed right.

knit and tonic: Yogini Bolero

Well, at least until I said the two words together out loud. When I said "Yogi Bolero," out came visions of a know-it-all, hat-wearin', on-two-feet walkin' bear who happens to have a best friend named "Boo Boo.
