Finally....Two Sweaters I Love....

I love to knit, but I don't always love the finished project. I love these two sweaters. They are comfortable and they fit great. I started the brown pullover last Fall when I was on our knitting retreat in Buena Vista. Marilyn King brings such lovely patterns and yarn, couldn't resist this vnecked pullover by CHIC knits. It's called the Mondo Cable Pulli, it also comes with a cardigan version. I bought brown tweed Himalayan yarn at Serendipity and started it and completed it in just a few weeks. I loved that it was knit in one piece, NO SEAMS......yea!!!!

The second sweater, the turquoise cardigan is from one of the best books ever, a fine fleece by lisa lloyd. The pattern is called Amanda (happens to be my grandaughter's name as well). The yarn I used was a great yarn swap purchase from my dear friend Christie's stash, it is called Dream in Color Classy in the colorway Blue Lagoon. It is a wonderful handspun with wonderful color varigation and is smooshy soft. It has a wonderful textured stitch repetition through out the body of the sweater. I fell in love with the shawl collar, but it took forever to complete all the short rows.

So there you have it, two sweaters I love. The year 2010 is starting out pretty good knitwise. I hope it keeps up!!!!
