So, this sweater is a real switch for me. And, most shocking (to me): I really like the color now!
Pattern: I used my notes from modifications I made to Knitty's Mesilla and added long sleeves.
Yarn: Bernat Lana that I over dyed in order to make a Christmas present (which didn't work out and I was left with this RED yarn!) (Also, the yarn didn't all dye evenly, which I knew but didn't realize it was so noticeable until I was done the body.)
I love this sweater. I hope it's cold enough this week to wear it!
Gorgeous! I LOVE the color.
ReplyDeleteAre the sleeves belled? If so, how'd you do the increases with the ribbing? I love me some bell sleeves. Great job.
It looks like a very good color for you. Seeing as I know you personally, I think it would look smashing on you. And I would like to see you in it sometime. Good Job!!!
