Springtime?

According to the calendar, it's springtime.  Here in New England it's debatable.  Thinking optimistically that the warmer weather is coming, I wanted to share three new designs I have for Spring/Summer 2016 with Tahki Stacy Charles.

I have two designs in the Sea Breeze Collection.

The Centerport Cropped Poncho.

"This drapey cropped poncho top in cotton-linen-blend ARUBA (Aran: 80% Cotton, 20% Linen, 98 yards) features a textured lozenge pattern." I love the look/feel of this blend.

Sizes	S/M (L,/XL, 2X/3X) Width 28½ (31¼, 34¼)”/ 72.5 (79.5, 87) cm; Length 15½ (16 ½, 17 ½)”/ 39.5 (42, 44.5) cm
Yarn Amounts	ARUBA: 7 (8, 9) balls in #03 sagebrush (pictured)

The other colors for this yarn are what I would call beachy/sunwashed. The pattern is easy to modify if you want to knit it longer; although you would have to add at least one more skein to the size you knit.

Rockaways Racerback Tank
