I FINALLY finished this Stripy Sweater, the largest item of clothing ever knitted by me! I finished it on August 18th just in time to pack it away as the weather grows warmer :doh:… but I HAVE worn it on a few of those colder days! In public!
Features:
“Cara Mia” yarn
Seamless, circular construction from the top, down
Understated Crocheted collar (after 3 failed attempts at knitting. Go Crochet!)
Nearly off-the-shoulder, but it STAYS ON
Cuff/Hem was “BO In Pattern” (as suggested by Angelia, in earlier “Help Me” messages. Thanks matey!)
With regards to this website for suggesting the pattern:
I've finally gotten a picture of the sweater I posted about earlier... I apologize for the image quality; it was the best I could get before my batteries died. Sizing: Small, finished measurement 33.5" Hints for resizing Materials: Cascade 220, 7...
