The first project of the new year is something i've been eyeing for nearly a year...sweater #2. I've no made one sweater and one cardigan and am ready for the next challenge. I found this fantastic pattern at Stitches West 2009 while helping Tactile in the booth and being a good yarn whore. I bought the pattern as a top down all knit together sweater is a beautiful thing. You can try it on while you go and make adjustments as necessary. THIs is super critical for me with having no back and a fair amount of front to account for in the sweater shaping. I also really liked the yarn over eyelet's that ran up the body of the sweater in a leaf like pattern. Lastly it looked easy!While digging around in the back room clearance section of Article Pract i managed to find 1100 yards of a black Cotton/Linnen in a medium weight that screamed sweater at me. Partly it screamed as the price for all of this lovelyness was only $67. Damn cheap for an entire sweaters worn of yarn. So purchased and brought home without a particular project it was, and happily. I leafed through some things and came across Sylvan and decided to give it a go. So far so happy! It's super cute and i can't wait to finish it. It is flying off the needles as i cast on New Years Day and have already finished over 25%. I think this one is a keeper ; )
