Plum Frost is done. Has been done for a fortnight, even! Fortuitously, it was done just in time for our last Guild meeting!
Fabulous knit, maybe a tiny bit on the big side. I desperately wanted to wear it to Guild, and it was still damp on Friday night. Fortunately it dried in time, although I’d figured if it was on the damp side, my body heat would dry it in time!
Specs:
Pattern: Plum Frost Pullover and Cardigan by Elinor Brown
Yarn: Harrisville Designs New England Shetland
Needles: 2.5 & 3mm Addi’s. I started on Knitpro/Knit Picks Harmonies, but one snapped.
Mods: I made the body and sleeves a little longer, that’s it.
Great pattern, beautiful yarn. I got mine at Yarn and Fiber Company in New Hampshire. But I wouldn’t recommend them. I ordered the yarn in July 2010, and didn’t get the last of the order until November
But if you can get your hands on the yarn, it’s well worth it!
In other knitting news, there’s very little. I started the smallest of the Three Brr bears from Spud & Chloe.
I got the body done, and the head. Then I decided it just looked weird, so I frogged it.
I’ve also started a Hitchhiker in Knitabulous fiftyfifty wool/silk.
The mojo is a no-show!
Love your sweater. Nice knitting and looks really good on you.
Beautiful sweater. Did you mean to say Nov 2010? It’s not quite Nov 2011 yet.
Another great knit! Looks fabulous on you!
Wonderful! Lovely sweater.
Love the sweater! It looks great.
Love love love the sweater
your mojo must be on holiday with my mojo
whomever speaks to them first please say holiday is over!!!
Gorgeous cardigan Donna!
oh, that’s pretty! love the colourwork against the soft grey.
mojo-smojo…we’ll call it “thinking” time 😉
Such a cute self portrait! Your mojo and my mojo must be on the mojito’s together somewhere. I hope they’re enjoying themselves..
Love,
love, love the cardi, and also appreciate the honest feedback on the yarn store…
Your knitting is always a delight to the eyes. How the rabbit and Em going?
I love your cardigan! I also started on a Hitchhiker but it does not seem to look right & I ripped it off. Yours look good, so I may have to try it again.
gorgeous cardi, fantastic photo. even my mojo has gone bye byes this week. sigh.
That cardigan is stunning. Beautiful work as always. You should put it in the Easter Show…what do you mean you don’t want a hole in it?
OMG Donna that cardi is gorgeous ! ..I so love the plum colours against the grey background. Shame about the wait and hassles with the yarn but, so worth it in the end because it looks beautiful as well as on you.
Hitcthhiker -> fab pattern – looks lovely in that colour ! 🙂
