This pullover shines in luxurious Phoebe. It is a simple, seamless, top-down, round-yoke construction, but Ainur's nod to the crisscrossing roof style after which the pattern is named—using a combination of slipped and dropped stitches—gives it interest in the knitting, and versatility and beauty in the wearing. It's so pretty shown here in fiery Mars, but we think it would be stunning in Jupiter, Neptune, Earth, or Venus. You may be delighted to know that the designer has also given instructions for a short-sleeved version of the sweater.

Melanie offered up this stunning bottom-up shawl, which is worked essentially on the bias, as it builds two diverging cable border panels while simultaneously filling the center with easy garter stitch. The right and left tips are worked separately to complete the shawl, and finished with an unusual bind off. Worked up in Cygnus, we love the idea of this shawl in faded denim Mercury, deep blue Perseus or bright Sol, a Quince favorite.
