Euler in Familien 10/2020

Posted on by

I am thrilled to have my Euler Cardigan on the cover of the Norwegian magazine Familien 10/2020, the issue celebrates our Constitution Day; the 17th of May. The Euler Cardigan is worn by the gorgeous Olivia Lindtein, with hair & make-up by Erica Poppe and jewellery by Kaja Gjedebo Design, and photographed by Eivind Røhne. The design was made for the American digital magazine; knit.wear Wool Studio Vol. VI  published last May by Interweave. Euler Cardigan is knitted in Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Worsted made of 100% Superwash Merino wool with 206 meters/225 yards on each 113 gram skein in the shade 14ns Denim using a 4.5 mm/US 7 needle with a gauge of 20 stitches and 27 rows in Stockinette stitch measuring 10 cm/4″ square.

Named after the accomplished and creative mathematician Leonhard Euler, this cardigan combines dropped stitches with bold cables along the front panels. The pieces are worked separately and seamed together for structure. The dramatic front panels hang loosely without a closure for an elegant but cozy sweater.

Olivia is wearing size S with a bust circumference of 85 cm/33.5″, but the pattern is graded in five more sizes up to a 132 m/52″ circumference.

The Familien magazine is available at selected news agents and super markets. If you live abroad you can order the Norwegian special magazine by e-mailing kari.bachke@egmont.com and then transfer payment into their bank account.

The English pattern to Euler Cardigan is available to download as an individual pattern from the Interweave store, as well as included in the Wool Studio Vol 6 and will be added to my Ravelry store next week.

Euler Cardigan Again

Posted on by

My Euler Cardigan was published in Wool Studio Vol. VI by Interweave and you have already seen the photos by Harper Point Photography in this blogpost. So here are some of the photos my husband took of me back in our front garden in December, just after Christmas. Why is it named after Leonhard Euler? Petra777 on Ravelry, asked me. The Interweave Wool Studio theme was geometry and I wanted a name that reflected well with the intricate cable pattern. I searched for a bit and then found Euler! Petra replied: “I don’t know how much you know about Euler but he was such an awesome mathematician. He is celebrated for so many accomplishments, amongst the many as the father of graph theory. One concept in graph theory is an Euler path. The cables with the dropped stitches of this cardigan remind me so much of an Euler path; which is a path composed of vertices and edges and visits every edge only once. This is another fantastic design Linda!” I am overwhelmed by this, that the name fitted so well as well as the complement! Thank you so much, Petra!

Here is the introduction to the pattern: “Named after the accomplished and creative mathematician Leonhard Euler, this cardigan combines dropped stitches with bold cables along the front panels. The pieces are worked separately and seamed together for structure. The dramatic front panels hang loosely without a closure for an elegant but cozy sweater.”

Euler Cardigan is knitted in the hand dyed Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Worsted (100% superwash Merino wool, 206 m/225 yds, 113 g) in 14ns Denim using 4 mm/US 6 and 4.5 mm/US 7 with a stockinette stitch gauge of 20 sts and 27 rows using the larger needles. The cardigan shown in the smallest size which measures 85 cm/33.5″, modeled with 4 cm/1.5″ of positive ease. It is available in six sizes and the largest size measures 132 cm/52″.

The digital magazine contains 10 designs. Interweave has written in their introduction: “Discover sophisticated, simple, and luxurious knitwear that pairs exceptional designers with splendid yarns in Wool Studio Vol. VI”. I am flattered to be called an exceptional designer and I am in fabulous company. The magazine is available to download from the Interweave Store.

Euler Cardigan in knit.wear Wool Studio Vol. VI

Posted on by

The latest issue of knit.wear Wool Studio Vol. VI by Interweave has been released and I am thrilled that my Euler Cardigan is included. On the cover is the stunning Undulating Lines Pullover by Stella Egidi knitted in Mountain Meadow Wool Alpine. The design submission call asked for designs that “converge around the theme of geometry: lines, curves, and polygons, in addition to the three-dimensional forms that make up every stitch of knitwear.” Named after the accomplished and creative mathematician Leonhard Euler, this cardigan combines dropped stitches with bold cables along the front panels. The pieces are worked separately and seamed together for structure. The dramatic front panels hang loosely without a closure for an elegant but cozy sweater.
