CRAFT Pattern: Sally Cardigan
A Nostalgic Honeycomb Sweater
By Nikol Lohr
Inspired by an Atomic-age children's sweater and named after Mad Men's Sally Draper, this playful fitted cardigan with retro styling is surprisingly simple to knit. The three-quarter length sleeves make it a perfect transition sweater for crisp spring or fall days, the angora-blend yarn softens the pattern and adds to the nostalgic feel, and the crocheted buttonholes add to the overall charm.
While the honeycomb pattern looks like complicated colorwork, producing it is actually as easy as knitting stripes! Only one color is carried at a time, with the design achieved by slipping stitches from the previous round's color. (If you're one of the thousands who have knit the Mason-Dixon Knitting dishcloths, you already know the technique.) It is knit seamlessly in the round, so there's no seaming, purling, or complicated float management. Then it's steeked to make the front opening (cutting your knitting is scary but fun!), and a button placket is picked up just inside the cut edges.

Quilts for Quake Survivors
Last night at the Handmade Detroit Social Circle at i3Detroit, several of our crafters helped cut fabric strips for the Quilts for Quake Survivors project. I love this idea - helping out a wonderful cause and putting your fabric scraps to use. We'll be working on cutting more and more fabric this weekend here in Detroit.

Color Block Mountain Painting
In today's CRAFT Video we make a color block mountain range painting using a technique you could use for a plethora of projects.
Subscribe to the MAKE Podcast in iTunes, download the m4v video directly, or watch it on YouTube.
Inspired by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in my home state of Virginia, I created a 5-paneled blue gradient mounting range with only two paint cans. Using just one rich shade of blue and mixing it with various amounts of white gave us a really lovely palette to work with.
You could use this same technique on a dresser with multiple drawers, painting each drawer a different shade, you could incorporate it on a wall with big, bold stripes would make a stunning statement, or forget the gradient aspect and transform your stairs using different colors.
I first tried a mountain mural on 2 sliding closet doors that have since fallen off their hinges and been discarded. You can see my attempt here, and read the written instructions for a slightly different approach in my paint guide for Venus Zine below.

Glee Slushie Cupcakes
Check it out! Glee-inspired slushie cupcakes that Tamara (Athens, GA) of Cupcakes by Tamara made for her Glee second season premiere party last fall. The red sanding sugar on top makes it looks just like a cold, sweet slushie. Very clever. She also made Cheerio-Marshmallow-Chocolate lollipops, and ... she bought a bright blue Adidas track jacket to wear to the party, � la Sue Sylvester.

Recipe: Mojito Float
By Jessica Wilson
Spring is the time when the mint begins to emerge, and there's not much I like more than a bit of minty goodness, unless it has lime in it as well. Nothing brings on the mint and lime better than a refreshing mojito. Mojitos are the perfect combination of a little sweet and a little sour, and I've upped the ante by turning the classic mojito into a float. Be warned, these things are tasty!
