Today I was thinking that I would share a couple photos of sweaters that I do like very much. These were all finished before I started my blog, but still within the last year or two.
Last night I wore this to Stitch-and-Spin, and I felt great in it. It was also a 'class sweater' for a class that I taught in early 2011.
Pattern: Cia by Cia Abbott Bullemer
Yarn: Louet KidLin Lace Weight
5 skeins (1250 yd) Spanish Blue
The next sweater is a cotton cardigan. I think that a cotton cardigan is one of the most wearable and comfortable garments that can be.
Pattern: Serape Jacket by Mags Kandis
Yarn: Gedifra Frisetto (100% cotton)
12 skeins, multiple colors
And next, the sweater that I made from a pattern written especially to recreate a real sweater that was knit decades earlier by Elizabeth Zimmerman. You might enjoy reading the designer's story, "Channeling Elizabeth: Recreating a Family Heirloom".
Pattern: Elizabeth Zimmerman's Green Sweater by Sunday Holm
Yarn: Briggs & Little Sport
3 skeins (1290 yd) Fir Green
I love Cia. I don't think I have ever seen that design before. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love them all and they all look great on you!
ReplyDeleteI love these three, and I think you are correct about sweaters. I loved the Swirl and really, really almost took your class and I thought, since I am not thin, I didn't think it was a good sweater for me. I can't wear ruffles (the bust is too full) ahem, and I can't wear pleats under the bust, then the waist is really full. Slim line cardigans are best, no cables unless they aren't chunky. I wonder if ladies realize what they really look like sometimes ? I DO think the Swirl looks good on you in your photos though. Or you can gift them to a tall, thin lady !
