Now that Fall weather has arrived, I finally finished this
short-sleeved sweater. It was started
back in June, when short sleeves were much more appropriate, but I got distracted by other things. At least I had the chance to wear it once
before it gets too chilly out!
This is another design from A Stitch in Time, Volume 2 which I love. Give me enough time and yarn and I just may have to make every single pattern contained therein!
And underneath that collar is a ribbed neckline (again, not what I was
anticipating, but it works!).
The original flowers turned out a little too sea-anemone for my
taste. I was hoping for more of a posey
of violets sort of look, so I just basted the ends back under the flower center. Crisis averted!
And you know what this means? Time to cast on something new!

Very sweet! That's such a lovely color. The last couple weeks have seemed warmer than expected - maybe you'll still get some wear out of it before spring!
ReplyDeleteI love your sweater! I just finished up a sweater of my one and was really eyeing a Stitch in Time, Volume 2. Your sweater looks so perfect I may buy it this week!
ReplyDeleteSweetly gorgeous sweater! It's one of my favourite knits I've seen anywhere this year. Those darling ruffled cuffs and the matching collar are making me smile and swoon at all once. Fantastic job on this project!
