So last night I got busy. I wove in all the ends on Autumn Rose, and I finally pulled my finger out and sewed the buttons onto Tangled Yoke.
Yes, Tangled Yoke is finished! And the final verdict? I love it!
Specs:
Pattern: Tangled Yoke by Eunny Jang from Interweave Knits, Fall 2007
Size: 34″
Yarn: Grignasco Tango, Colour 322, 6 balls. I got lucky, and scored the yarn in a Ravelry destash, but I picked up two more balls from The Wool Inn to be on the safe side. I didn’t need them, though.
Needles: 3.5mm (US4)
Mods: None.
A nice knit! The cable requires some attention, but it’s fun. I love watching patterns emerge in my knitting, so I quite enjoyed the cable.
It appears that the Grignasco Tango is not an easy yarn to find. It appears to be exactly the same yarn as the recommended yarn, Rowan Felted Tweed. Both are 50% Wool, 25% Alpaca, 25% Viscose, both have 175m, (191yds) per ball. The Wool Inn at Penrith have a whole lot in stock, in some gorgeous colours, at around $AU8 a ball. Apart from that, a quick google search doesn’t show up much. (Except that the yarn may actually be discontinued)
It’s a little warm to wear it at this time of the year, but it’ll be great when it gets cooler. The yarn is a little scratchy for against the skin wear, but not horrendously so.
Now it’s back to work on another Eunny masterpiece, Autumn Rose.
Psst, did I mention that I love the cable?!?
It’s amazing. I can see why you are so happy with it. Just perfect on you and so beautifully knit. Great work on the yarn, too – great find.
Yes indeed, Tangled Yoke looks fabulous!
Love the colour too.
I bet this sweater is the first to be worn when the weather is cold. Love it!
That is beautiful love the cable and the tweedy yarn and color. Great job, as always.

The colour is gorgeous, but the fit – the fit! – is amazing! Curves perfectly around you, well, curves 🙂
Looks like another one to add to my queue.
Donna it’s fantastic!! The cable is very cool! Isn’t it great how far that Tango goes. Now I really wish I’d bought some when Tapestry Craft sold their stock. Hmmm, maybe I’ll have to visit Penrith!!
Gorgeous! I love the color and the cable too!

it’s gorgeous Donna, and looks great on you!
Gorgeous! And the sweater ain’t half bad either! (hehehe). The sweater looks great. The yarn seems to be the same composition as Rowan Tweed. I’ve heard of the yarn before, but haven’t ever seen it. It’s a pity, as it seems like a good price and a bit cheaper than Rowan.
Wow it looks fantastic,love the colour,well done!!
Beautiful!!

I have to knit Kim a pair – but I’m putting it off for a while!
