This one has been done for several months, I just didn’t have pictures of it until yesterday, when its new owner brought it in for me to photograph.
This one is the Nihon Vogue year 2 Aran, which I drafted and started, and then got really, really, really sick and lost a whole bunch of weight, so by the time the knitting was done, the sweater was WAAAAAY too big for me. It’s a bit too big on the person modeling it, too, but she really wanted to try it on, and happened to stand still long enough for me to take a couple of pictures.
The yarn is Briggs & Little, in a color I don’t think they make anymore, and the buttons are vintage shell that I picked up at Button Button in Vancouver (I think).
There. One more done. 7 to go? 6? Something.
Wow, the sweater is gorgeous! I’m sorry it ended up not fitting you, especially given the circumstances. Are you well now?
I absolutely love this! The knotwork on it is brilliant, I can see why it was so much work.
Thanks! It was actually fun to design and knit, and I’ll definitely be making another one, once I find the right yarn (since I can’t get any more of the same stuff I made the original in). SO glad to hear from you!
Thanks! Doing much better now that we’ve (mostly) figured out what was causing the problems (soy allergy).
