DUETS II
With the success of last spring's DUETS mini-collection, we're presenting DUETS II, featuring four new romantic designs in the ethereal combination of laceweights SUPERIOR and NIRVANA. Shown above is the I Got You Batwing Top, featuring a quick-knitting lace-stitch pattern. The front and back sections are a simple hexagonal shape with added ribbed sleeves, neckband and edging. Its drapey, drop-shoulder silhouette is totally on-trend and flattering to all body types. The soft, lightweight fabric created by SUPERIOR and NIRVANA makes this a versatile all-season layering piece.

CRISTALLO  Filatura di Crosa introduces CRISTALLO, a crip cotton blended with a filament of multi-colored paillettes to create a sophisticated shimmer. CRISTALLO is just one of five yarns featured in the FILATURA DI CROSA SPRING 2012 COLLECTION.
The La Dolce Vita Top featured on the cover of the collection book has a similar on-trend silhouette to the I Got You Babe Batwing Top (shown above), but this time sans sleeves and with a shoulder-baring peekaboo cutout created by intentional gaps in the shoulder seaming. Knit in an elegant eyelet pattern, the La Dolce Vita Top transitions easily from day to evening. If you'd like to knit a smaller project, the Capri Scarf/Shawl pattern is equally elegant with its stunning positive/negative effect. A simple drop-stitch pattern in shimmering black and white CRISTALLO creates a dramatic statement - just throw it over your favorite Little Black Dress for a sophisticated look!
