Maria from The Best Of Lopi
My sister’s birthday gift sweater. Lopi is not soft but Lopi is friendly!
Many a beginner’s scarf is more difficult to knit than this Lopi sweater.
Seemed too easy to be true: very little effort for a gratifying result. Great fun.
I love Lopi! Thank you, Kim, for requiring warm sweaters even in Pasadena.
Brit from The Best Of Lopi
My sister’s other birthday sweater. Lopi is already coarse enough, and color 52, black sheep, felt coarser than the others. Kim chose the main colorway yet I substituted color 104 terra cotta with an orchid I had at hand. Maybe that was a mistake. I simply couldn’t get 104 in time.
Kim’s sweaters were hand carried and delivered to her! I resorted to putting the still damp, sheep-scented sweaters on hangers. Michael, our Bangles-stricken friend, left for Pasadena a day earlier than anticipated. Would traveling at high speeds, albeit in an airplane, help them to dry?
Here is what Brit is meant to look like.
