This summer I knit my second sweater. It's called the Shalom sweater (pattern on Ravelry for free). I made some modifications which was brave considering I'm new to sweater making. I added 3/4 sleeves and didn't do the waist shaping. It took me a while to figure out the modifications and I had to get some online help from a couple ravelry folks. Luckily for me, it turned out perfect. Well, of course, there are a few mistakes here and there but overall, I love this sweater. No, I really love this sweater. I love it so much that I am considering making another one in a different color.

Love the sweater! Looks like soft yarn too, what did you use? I definitely like it with the longer arms. It's in my ravelry queue - gotta love that website!
ReplyDeleteOh and welcome back from the summer hiatus. It's good to be disconnected, but glad to read more about your going ons.
It's cascade Ecological wool....i love it. Super warm and also inexpensive (it took me 1 1/4 skeins and they were $15 each). And yes, I love ravelry! I'm looking for a new project...thinking another sweater but having a hard time finding the perfect one.
ReplyDeletewell well well! very nice! i have to admit i'm kind of jealous... my one and only sweater i knitted for myself was kind of a disaster. never been worn. wrong yarn, wrong size, everything. so it's in a box someplace until i get back to it, like maybe when both kids are in school?
ReplyDeletebtw, rowan did a wonderful job taking pictures!
