WoodWideWeb

Trees, plants and mushrooms share information and resources via vast underground networks of mycelia. Amazing! Ever more evidence indicates how much we are connected. One creature to another. We're all in this together.

WoodWideWeb is knitted in the round from the bottom up. Steeks are created at armholes and front neckline so that in-the-round knitting can continue. Neckline ribbing is picked up and knitted later. So are sleeves, which are also worked in the round from the top down.

I knitted my sample using Sunday Knits yarns for the main color and one of the contrast colors, and with Spincycles color-shifting yarns for the other contrast colors. I love how these two very different yarns connect here. Of course, you can also knit WoodWideWeb in all Sunday Knits yarns, and we've put together a great kit for doing just that.
