trying to keep in focus!, want to design a Lopi dress
It's been one of those days - spent nearly every minute til 4 pm on the couch with bulky Lopi blanket and a heatpack.
Body cold, brain in a fog. So, all I can do for now is finish up my Kraemer Yarns Naturally Nazareth socks. Nice snug gauge (6.5 sts and 8.5 rnds=1") with US size 3's. Great yarn! The lanolin is heavenly.
I want a Lopi dress to wear in the soon-to-be frozen house. I was thinking of Lamb's Pride Bulky, but the mohair sheds way more than the Icelandic wool.
If you wanted a warm, but not necessarily fashion-plate dress (tho it *could be!*), what would you want - raglan? inset sleeve, etc, ribbed waist, colorwork, like Norwegian, Faeroe, or Shetland motifs in the yoke, cuffs, etc?? Snug skirt or a-line?
Brain is going numb again - time to curl up on loveseat again.

Years ago I knit a dress that was very warm. As best I remember, it had a mock turtleneck, long set-in sleeves, about four inches of ribbing at the waist which released into a sort of bell-shaped a-line kind of skirt. The top was done in stripes and the cuffs, skirt and collar where a solid color. The ribbing served to pull it into the body. It was warm and I wore it for a number of years. Have no clue whatever happened to it.
