Timeless |
I have knit further than the photo. The front is now done, and I have even started the first sleeve. I will put it aside soon so that I can get back to my currently sleeveless Cerisara.
Evergreen |
I named my Cerisara "Evergreen". I am making it in Handwerks So-Soft DK (80% superwash merino, 10% cashmere, 10% nylon). I had been working on it rather steadily, until I finished the body as shown. I then decided to hand-wash it, so I could make certain that I would like the fit and the length. (Superwash wool does often grow when washed.) It took a couple days to dry, which is why I picked up "Timeless".
I always have to have a few (or more) projects going so that I can switch off for various reasons. The air drying of "Evergreen" was a bit unusual. A more common reason is the need for an easier project to be able to switch to when I am knitting in a place, or at a time, that I cannot work on something more demanding. Another is that when I go to a sit 'n knit at a yarn shop, I typically like to work on a project with yarn that was purchased at the shop.
I like to work on a project until I feel a sense of accomplishment with it, and then move on to the next project to make similar progress. I enjoy all the small milestones. I rarely get bored. I do knit a lot.
I bought the pattern Evergreen :-) and it is one of the sweaters I plan to do someday. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBoth are wonderful but Evergreen is my favorite - I just love the pattern and the yarn!
