"1908 features the Ionian cable from my Irish Coffee Tunic, translated into a completely different garment.
This top is a versatile pullover that works equally well as a vest, a tee, or a long sleeve sweater. It pairs some eye-catching texture with gorgeous, vibrant color in a classic silhouette. The cables on this sweater are easily memorized and fun to work.
As always, there are small details throughout the design to keep it fun and all of the transitions are intentional. The hem goes from ribbing into cables with a beautiful curve, the armhole shaping leaves you with a neatly finished edging, and the sides of the body are designed to allow for modifications for fit, should you desire."

Thea chose to knit her sample in the colorway Indigo Blue Sky.
"I’ve knit my 1908 with short sleeves and a cropped length, and I chose this stunning Indigo-dyed shade in A Verb For Keeping Warm’s Horizon to add a little pop of color to my wardrobe. Because really, this blue??? I LOVE IT WITH EVERYTHING. But maybe especially with big, wooden earrings and terra cotta linen.
Horizon is one of my favorite yarns - a soft and round Rambouillet worsted that I’ve used in the past. It’s a perfect weight for a little warmth, it’s next-to-skin soft, and it’s a joy on the needles. Kristine’s hand dyed colors on this base never disappoint, but this yarn is gorgeous in natural shades as well.
Horizon loves a cable, keeps its shape and doesn’t pill. It’s also sustainably made by a wonderful person. What more could a knitter want?"
