Yo, this stuff is hot, HAWT, off the needles. How fresh and toasty off the needles? SO fresh and toasty that I couldn't wait to get a proper camera and instead had a co-worker take one for me using my camera phone:
Yes, I work in a cube farm. But pulling this sweater off the needles and wearing it right then and there sure brightens this place up!
Details
Pattern: Custom made for me by Art Fibers. Basically a fitted boatneck sweater with ribbed edgings.
Yarn: 2.25 skeins of Art Fibers Whisper in color #3
Needles: Denise interchangeables both 10.5 and 9s for edgings
Modifications
I made the sleeves shorter and made the bottom ribbing longer. Somehow the first round of knitting made the torso much too short so I had to knit down a couple more inches. Picking up stitches was a beeeeeee-yatch, but the result is well worth it.
I'll have to take a proper picture in proper sunlight for the album. I hope it doesn't change TOO much after a washing and blocking. The color variations in this sweater are just fantasmic. Actually that swatch from the link to Whisper is pretty darned accurate. I am in lurve.
I can't wait for my other co-workers to come back from lunch and be all like, "Hey weren't you wearing some other sweater this morning?"
And I'll be all like, "Sure was!"
And they'll be all like, "Did you change?"
And then I'll be all like, "I MADE it and then PUT IT ON.... FRESH OFF THE NEEDLES... where'd you go for lunch?"
