Cascade Luna & Luna Paints

Cascade Yarns' Luna and Luna Paints is a lovely worsted weight, 100% pima cotton yarn that's so soft and comes in such bright colourways, it's really fun to work with. The yarn is plied so it holds its shape well when knit up, and it's perfect for knitting and crocheting both children and adult wear, as well as home decor items and accessories.

One thing I find myself doing often is browsing Ravelry for patterns and pattern ideas for all the lovely yarns in my shop. While I don't have the time (nor the constitution, as my hands have informed me this week after knitting >2 hrs on two particular days) to actually knit samples in all of them, I am happy to spend hours looking at everyone else's creations and get inspired. I figured I'd post some of the patterns I like best that have worked really well in Cascade Luna, for you to take a look at and perhaps get inspired by too.

(The original pattern's photo is included here, but to see the project done in the yarn, you'll need to click the second, and sometimes third, link(s) in each paragraph below.)

• The Atlantic Coast cardigan knit up really well in Sugarbrows' version using Cascade Luna & Luna Paints.
• The Tropical Fish Skirt also looks really great in WaterGirlKnits' verison using Cascade Luna & Luna Paints. This is also a really cute version of it (by the same knitter too; no wonder I like it so much).
• The Fiona Baby Sundress has been knit many times in Luna, but Smaknit's version is my absolute favourite.
