Julia has long admired The Folly Cove Designers, a group of women who worked together from the 1930s to 1968, hand-printing textiles in Gloucester, Massachusetts. This collection of patterns is inspired by this group, and features various garments and a few accessories. My favorite is the Cape Ann Stole, with its lovely cabled details.
As part of the blog tour, I am giving away a free copy of one of Julia's patterns. The Natti Turtleneckis named after Lee Kingman Natti, one of The Folly Cove Designers and a children's book author. This cozy sweater features drop-shoulders with a delicate cable detail and pockets. The design calls for Inca Alpaca by Classic Elite Yarns.

The fine print: I received a free copy of From Folly Cove for this review, but the views expressed herein are my own. I love this book and would not have participated in this blog tour otherwise. Images borrowed from Classic Elite Yarns.
This is such a super cozy, snuggly turtleneck with lovely details. Great pattern, great sweater!
ReplyDeleteThey are all gorgeous! I think Hetty's garden coat is my favorite though! I like the flowers on the back.
ReplyDeleteWhile my favorite is the Burton coat, this one is a very close second. What beautiful patterns!
ReplyDeleteTHIS is my favorite pattern, since I knew Bob Natti and also know Lee -- and I like the sweater, as well!
ReplyDeleteDoes love them all count? If not, then the Burton Hills Jacket from yesterday.

ReplyDeleteI agree with MK...this is my favorite in the collection...this and Meteori.
ReplyDeleteI love the Meteori Shawl!
ReplyDeleteI also love the Cape Ann stole, but the cable detail n this sweater is really cool!
ReplyDeleteAll lovely but I would love to be wearing the Meteori Shawl right now!
ReplyDeleteThat is just divine!
ReplyDeleteSuch choices! It would be very hard to pick a favorite from this collection, but the nati turtleneck would definitely be one of them.
ReplyDeleteLove this sweater, and the cover hat as well. I also love the style of illustration they are based on, so I really "get" the whole collection. Beautiful stuff!

I really like the Natti Turtleneck. I'm always cold and wear them all winter. I also really love the Annisquam Beret. It's so feminine and lady-like.
