…CHECK.
Ok Technically I have not actually woven in all the ends yet but it is done and I could wear it as is. I actually finished on sunday so…I am going to do it in a zen like state when I get caught up on my tivo this weekend. It actually fits fairly nicely and I won’t be ashamed to wear it outside and in public. Once I take a shower today and slap on some paste makeup I’ll post a picture of it on me but until then Behold the glory of the sweater!
Yarn: K1C2 Wick in Avocado 10-11 balls (approx 1200-1320 yrds) bought at yarnmarket.com I liked the yarn a lot. The only thing I noticed was it was easily snagged do the the cable construction of the weird fiber. However its soft and has a nice spring to it. I’d use it again.
Needles: Denise size 7′s
Pattern: I used knit and tonics essential stripe pattern. As you can see mine lacks stripes;) I did make some modifications based on the fact that my row gauge was wildly off. I also knit rather tightly so…no real shocker I used that much yarn. Anyway the modifications included readjusting the math on the v neck to account for my gauge. I also made it much deeper to show off the sisters;) I quite liked the pattern, if I were to knit it again I think I’d add some more shaping to the waist and possibly some short rows for the girls but it looks pretty good as is and it is my first sweater so I’m pleased.
