It felt so good to finish a sweater. It's been a while.
I must say, I am really happy with how it turned out. It has an a-line shape, so there is a little bit of swing, which I love. The yarn I used worked pretty well, however, I could see using something else that would give it a little more drape. It did soften after it was blocked which seemed to help. (You know how I believe in blocking.)
For years I made mostly cardigans. Now I seem to be drawn mostly to pullovers. I have been perusing Ravelry for my next one.
I loved the lace pattern and felt that it was just enough to keep things fun. A little bit of concentration and a little bit of mindless all in the same row. I think, the perfect combination.
I look forward to wearing this in the fall.
Pattern: Princess Fiona
Yarn: quince & co Chickadee, 8 skeins, in kittywake
Needles: US size 5
Size: 34
Happy Friday, Friends!

The sweater is gorgeous! And it fits you perfect!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteYour new pullover looks grand on you. That assymetrical touch of stitchery gives the design a perfect accent. The color is beautifully subtle, too.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes on your next project. xo
A great finish.
ReplyDeleteGreat sweater!! Love the little detailing :-)
ReplyDeleteI love it too
ReplyDeleteSo, so beautiful!! I love that shade of grey, looks like it will go with everything. I too have been preferring pullovers lately- feels like more of an instant outfit, I think.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I've not seen a jumper like this before. The shape and drape are stunning. I think blocking is magical, too!
ReplyDeleteYou always knit beautiful items of clothing. I love this one too!
