at long last
Without further delay...
A brown sweater.
Pattern: my own, using Elizabeth Zimmermann's percentage system.
Yarn: Cascade 220, some heathery brown color
Needles: US 8 Knitpicks Circulars
Here is a poor picture of somebody wearing it.
Despite loathing any picture that contains myself, I love this sweater and wear it all the time. Cascade 220 is surprisingly softer than you might think, and is affordable. I plan on making some basic turtlenecks for the fall from it this year.
My mom's sweater is back from the seamstress, but I got bored in the three weeks it took her, so I had to start some new things. I've started Orangina, and Flicca. My friend from work and I are having a mini Flicca-Along (it's just the two of us), using Rowan Yorkshire Tweed. The pattern calls for a chunky weight yarn, I'm using an aran weight and I've already had to rip it out beacuse I was afraid it wouldn't be wide enough across the shoulders. It's already long enough for a dog to sleep under...
