Adam wanted me to knit him a sweater, and I am generally quite happy to knit for the guy who never questions the amount of money I spend on yarn. Unfortunately, the sweater he picked out was really nothing more than a glorified sweatshirt. And he wanted it in grey. It was to be a sweatshirt indeed…
Fortunately, this particular sweatshirt was designed by the illustrious Jared Flood, certified genius designer. What could have been a laborious exercise in miles of stockinette stitch (which, don’t get me wrong, has its place in my life) was instead a brilliantly interesting knit filled with new techniques, interesting construction, and crystal clear instructions. I loved every minute of this knit and I love the finished sweater. It’s a damn fine sweatshirt, if I do say so myself!
Thanks, Kathleen! I really do love how this sweater turned out…low expectations, high results?! 🙂 I used Galway, my very favorite workhorse worsted weight wool. I love knitting with it, wearing it, and it wears really well.
Better on this “model” than the one that is shown with the pattern on Ravelry… 🙂
What yarn did YOU use?
Ha! Thanks, Turtle! 🙂 (I agree!)
Gorgeous—and the sweatshirt is too! (teehee!)
