Cast off in Barbados.
Never to be worn in Barbados.
I can't believe it has been this long since I posted. Too much time outside and away from the computer, I guess. And the rhythm of the days is pretty wonderful.
Luckily, the breezes by the sea were a boon to the knitting time. And I finished this wonderful sweater. This picture is taken in the same spot as it began.
This is a fun pattern, with a very interesting construction. Sleeves are knit first, joined and then the body of the sweater is knit down. There is German short-row shaping at the top and the bottom, and then there is a very interesting chevron ribbing at the bottom.
It will need a good blocking when I get home. Knitters of the pattern on Ravelry talked about how the good blocking helped with adding some length.
I did pop it on for about 2.4 seconds in this warm weather. Long enough to confirm that I LOVE the neckline. I think this will become a favourite and am looking forward to wearing it once it is washed and blocked.
Now some fun socks on the needle and a little bit of hooking on my "Evvie Warhol" project.
I will share some pics as I make progress.
