Well, I finally finished a sweater. And boy, did it feel good. Just looking for the time to knit has been my problem lately. I still have plenty of desire, trust me. It's just all. about. time.
I love how this turned out. And to tell you the truth, i think it's the perfect little sweater. Great for spring. Or fall. Or winter if you are on the warmer side. A lot of stockinette. Seed stitch edging. A little cable detail. Sleeves that end just as soon as you cast on. Perfect!
Yarn: Mountaintop Vista by Classic Elite, 7 hanks
Needles: US 6
Size: 36 1/2
I have a few mitts on the needles. However, I'm on the hunt for a new sweater pattern. Anyone have a favorite? I'd love if you shared it with us.

ReplyDeletePS. I forgot to tell you I love your sweater! So cute!
ReplyDeletelove it! love the color! love the fit!
ReplyDeletebeautiful on you.
Smitten! It looks lovely on you. I'm eager to see what your friends suggest here. I'm knitting Boardwalk. I've got big dreams to knit more especially out of stash. Time is the issue. As Jasmin of Knitmore Girls says, "I knit faster in my imagination."
ReplyDeletelovely knit!!
ReplyDeleteI love anything Heidi Kirrmaier. Right now I've got her Tea with Jam and Bread on the needles in Portland Tweed. Perfect casual pattern in the perfect tweed. I know you're a fan of Portland Tweed.
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is gorgeous! And it works so well with the plaid shirt you're wearing it with.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the frustration when knitting time isn't as great as the time you want to have for it - congratulations on finishing the sweater anyway!
LOVE this Leslie! I'm so happy to see you knitting again! I just ordered the pattern - perfect for layering for all seasons of the year! I think of you oftern - sending you hugs!
ReplyDeleteLove your sweater! So versatile. Wow, I love love love the sleeves (or lack of sleeves to knit!). I am knitting "Grace," a cardigan. Just finished up the body and am getting ready to start on the sleeves. It's been a great pattern/project!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, so cute. So, so, so cute! And, yes, perfect for many season!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sweater is the Hooray Cardigan -- http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hooray-cardigan
It's more of a fall/winter cardi, but it was a LOT of fun to make and I've loved wearing it!
I knitted two cardigans this winter. I love love love my Antler and wear it often. It's great for spring and fall weather.

And I also knitted Lush and I love the bright colour and this one is lighter and can be worn indoors too.

ReplyDeleteThat is sooo cute! I love the cable details. Nice job! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteit's great on you- and I love the color. something about a simple gray that always works! :)
ReplyDeleteNice to see you're finding some time to knit- and I hear ya on the desire. If only there were enough time!
Lovely sweater
ReplyDeleteOld Town by Carol Sunday. Love how it is knitted, and love the turn technique to replace wrap and turn. Totally cool! I also love On the Beach~ a free pattern by Grasflecken. So fast to knit up in a cotton blend for summer. It is oversized making it great to wear over camisoles, sundresses, etc... ~Jan
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful on you. Love the cables in the front and back. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI just went out to look at Rosemary's favorites...the "water-and-stone" looks like you! Great suggestion Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteI love that shade of gray! And the length of the cabled section in the front is strange and perfect. This pattern is definitely going on my to-make list.
