The Summer 2018 issue of Creative Knitting is in mailboxes and store shelves, and the northeast is getting snow - again. At some point we will finish up the thick wool turtlenecks and look for a lighter, warmer-weather knit. 
Wendy Cardigan uses eyelets against a background of stockinette in diagonals for a flattering look. The open front makes finishing a breeze and the yarn is TO DIE FOR. If you've ever avoided linen or cotton, or if you have hand/arm pain when knitting with stiff yarns, you really should try Plymouth's Nettle Grove. It glides through your fingers effortlessly and has a nice crunchy feel. It's a sport weight yarn (45% cotton, 28% linen, 12% nettle, 15% silk; 218
yds/50g per skein) shown in sapphire # 42. Cardigan uses 5 (6, 7, 7, 8) skeins.For more information, visit Ravelry or Annie's website.
Pattern is available in print in Creative Knitting Spring 2018's magazine, or online from Annie's.
This issue has 15 patterns and you can see them all

Happy Knitting!
