This is the wrong time of the year to finish this, but here’s a photo of my sweet 15 yr old wearing next year’s school clothes:
It’s Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Saddle Shoulder from Knitting Without Tears. I just added a cable up the front and narrower ones up the sleeves.
WTG!! The sweater turned out awesomely. I read all of EZ’s books and watched her workshop videos. I want to try a sweater using her formula sometime, too. She is very inspiring. Thanks for sharing your success.
That looks so great. Guys look great in tweed sweaters. I’m really curious about the coned yarn at Webs. Is this the Highland Tweed I keep seeing? How does it feel to knit with?
It is the Highland Tweed. At yarn.com, go to Grandpa’s Garage Sale, Weaving Yarns, and it’s the 2/4 Highland Tweed. (I don’t know anything about weaving, and don’t know what 2/4 represents.) I used about half a cone for the sweater, so the yarn for the sweater came out to be about $6 (before s&h). As far as how it feels - it is not soft, and it’s not something you’d want to wear next to your skin.
