Finally, Autumn Rose

And so, finally, Autumn Rose.


This is, officially, my favourite knitted item, ever.
There are not many words, the pictures say it all.

Specs:
Pattern: Autumm Rose by Eunny Jang from Simply Shetland 4: At Tomales Bay
Size: 35″ (smallest)
Yarn: KnitPicks Palette (purchased as a kit in the Mineral colourway)
Needles: I had to go down to a 2.75mm (US2) to get the recommended tension. I used KnitPicks Harmony needles.
Modifications: None, knit exactly as the pattern says.

The worst part of it all was weaving in all the ends. I did some as I went, and I’m glad I did, or it may never have been finished!
Now I just need to wait for the weather to get cold enough to wear it!

  1. it looks gorgeous…a fantastically flattering style on you and superb knitting as always.
    if you are waiting for cold weather…come on down south!

  2. Absolutely beautiful! I love Fair Isle! I have some things kitted up in my stash that I need to cast on. Can’t see doing it now that the weather’s getting nice now though. Will have to wait til Fall.

  3. That’s incredible! What a gorgeous piece of knitting art. It’s nice to know that you followed the pattern exactly and got such a great fit ~ I’d love to try knitting colorwork like this someday 🙂

  4. The sweater is absolutely gorgeous and the fit seems perfect! Great job. I hope you enjoy the dickens out of it! 🙂

  5. Superb! I didnt recognize you in that photo at first. You did such a wonderful job too and I am sure it will be worn and loved for many years to come.

  6. like everyone else had said, it is absolutely gorgeous and beautiful!!!!!! i really wish one day i will have the courage and skill to knit something like that!!!

  7. Oh it’s so wonderful – I can’t believe you knit it on 2.75mm sticks – I’m thinking about knitting a cardi on 2.75mm but I think I might be nuts!! (also, I’d be knitting a much bigger size). Gosh it looks so great, it fits you perfectly!

  8. Wow, you steeked and lived to tell the very happy tale!! Great jumper for the season, very well planned, you look Most Favourite Jumper Happy too.

  9. Wow – Autumn Rose is a master piece & you look great in it. Just the thought of sewing in all those ends will stop me from knitting it. Emily looks great with her beret.
