Sandy recently completed the Thursday pattern from Kirsten Johnstone's Assemblage line. Knit out of one strand each of Habu Textiles' A-166 2/30 Ramie and A-177 Super Fine Merino, this lovely top, with a delicate pleated ruffle running down the front, is ideal for layering. Interested in making your own? Both the pattern and a wonderful selection of the yarns await you at the boutique!
