WooHoo!
Excuse the bad pic. It was a cloudy day out so I couldn't get it in the right light. Also, in this pic, the purl ridges do seem to add a bit of bulk around the middle so I think if I were to make it again, i would eliminate them like others are doing. Otherwise, I really do love this sweater. It hasn't been blocked yet and even though it is lightweight, it kept me warm all evening yesterday outside (at a bbq for the Bears/Packers game). As I said before, I made it in Silky Tweed color # 17. I used sz 6 and sz 3 needles with perfect gauge. Now, I am in no way close to the small size (this is the medium), yet I could have made the small and it would have fit fine. I am hoping that blocking will lengthen it and pull it in some, otherwise I may toss it into the dryer for a few minutes and see if it will shrink up a bit. It is so comfortable though, and if it doesn't block out right, I will still wear it often, I will just have to adjust as the day goes on! Love it, love it love it!
Yay, it looks so nice! More pics, more pics!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I'm still waiting on my Silky Tweed to arrive, but hopefully it will be here today. I even brought needles to work so I could swatch at lunch if it arrives in time :) I've been following your progress, since I'm using the same yarn. Since the yarn is slightly smaller, did you have to knit a different size than you would have normally?
