The forces of nature coming together to make this happen: Misti Alpaca Bulky green, Ann Budd book of sweater patterns, 365 stitches a year slipped rib stitch (the "wrong" side), garter stitch, size 10 needles, 4 stitches/inch, Boris Karloff, Dr. Suess.
I can now see why people who live in cold mountainous areas with alpacas can remain warm and without frostbite. This is the warmest fabric I've ever worn. The sleeves are turned up for those wondering about the sleestack effect.
You did good!

ReplyDeleteOhmygosh. I haven't been paying close enough attention to the knitting aspects of this blog (which is actually the main topic, so what does that say about me?). You designed it?!?! I am in awe. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI salute you! Love the sweater, love the green and it's great that the sleeves can be rolled down longer for a Sleestax length and extra warmth.
ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely, snuggly and warm!
