It only lacks the buttons, which I have at hand, but not yet sewn on!
(I rather suck at sewing anything ... I'm good at seaming, though...not that this sweater has any.)
There is a wonky decrease line on the right, as compared to the left. Not sure what happened.
The decrease line on the left is closer to the front. How did I mess that up?!
I posted my blocking adventures in my last blog post, if anyone cares to see it ...
All in all, a fun, relatively fast knit. The arms *are* a little weird, though. Almost too low on the sweater. As near as I can tell, my arms are no higher or lower than anyone else's!
I am also piddling along on a Mandola Hat Cowl, a KnitPicks pattern, using their Stroll hand painted sock yarn. It is really, really pretty. And the seashell yarn sock, which has been sadly shunted aside.
I believe the Stroll yarn color is "Make Believe."
That pop-top sound you hear is Edgar Allen Poe opening a can of whoop ass ...
Right before I took this picture, Molly (bottom cat) was swatting at Edgar Allen Poe and trying to get him off the chair. Soon as I got the camera, she lay down in her innocent-kitty-pose and pretended to be good.
Don't forget to visit TamisAmis (anyone know how to pronounce that?) for Work-in-Progress Wednesday!

Very pretty sweater! LOL my cat is the same way!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty sweater. The yoke really draws the eye to it. I especially like the soft color.

Wow, I really, really love the top. The cabling turned out so perfectly and of course the color is very elegant. Also, I envy your reported seaming skills, it doesn't matter how good of a knitter you are, crappy seaming will make for a crappy FO.
