Adiri

Julia Trice, mindofwinter, had just released her Adiri Cowl pattern in Haven! This lovely cowl has a companion sweater pattern, also named Adiri. The Adiri sweater pattern will be released later this month.

We will be having a KAL on Ravelry for both the sweater and the cowl beginning on October 15 and running through the end of the year. The Adiri cowl is a perfect knit to give as a Christmas gift, while you knit the sweater to keep!

Julia has generously donated two pattern packages which includes both the Adiri sweater and cowl pattern! Kristi has donated a skein of Haven to each winner, which is the perfect amount to knit a cowl. To enter, leave a comment in the contest thread on Ravelry.
