Woo! I finally finished the tree jacket and used up all the yarn I had up to the last yard or two. I love having no yarn left over from this project. I've been on a big stash reduction kick lately. Although I do have the minor yarn binge now and then when I can't say no to a new purchase. But about the sweater...I chose to lengthen the body as mohair has a tendency to flyaway a bit since it's so light. I also put a small bit of the lace pattern at the sleeves with what yarn I had leftover. I'm rather pleased with how it turned out.
This is WONDERFUL. The prettiest Tree Pullover I've seen yet! And the color looks great on you!!

Gee. Thanks. 8D
ReplyDeleteIt is a discontinued yarn from the 1960's I got off Ebay, Bernat Brushed Mohairlaine. It's a rather rageddy-looking yarn and it was a bit stinky when I got it. But it was cheap and I liked the color. Probably any relatively thin mohair would work the same.
Too cute!!
