new sweater pattern with shocking leaf details!
the fall 2009 issue of vogue knitting should be hitting newsstands any day now, so i thought i'd show you the sweater pattern that i have in it.
this cardigan is knit from the top down, in a super bulky yarn, and features leaf details at the neck and sleeve(i told you there were more leaf patterns coming soon). because of the alpaca content, i had to take ungodly amounts of benadryl and zyrtec to knit it and it's also the reason why my dress form is stepping in as a model. despite the allergy drama, i'm really happy with it. this sweater is a super quick knit ( i made it in just a few days). i'm hoping to make another for myself in an alpaca-free yarn of a darker color and wear it as a 3/4 sleeve jacket in the fall.
you can queue it on ravelry here.
i hope you like it!
i'll be finishing up gift knits for the rest of the day. i have a pile of hats that just need crown decreases (i'm writing patterns for almost all the hats i'm giving at the same time). once those are finished, i'm definitely casting on for something from vintage baby knits

I do like it! Especially the leaf details! Would be lovely in a soft-spun bulky cotton, methinks... (though sheddy... but soft!)

It's beautiful! I'm not the fastest knitter, so I love chunky yarn that knits up fast. Still, I've managed to make similar projects take an eternity before...

Sorry about the allergy flare. It's super cute and I hope you feel it was worth the hassle.

That sweater is beautiful. I hope to make one for myself, or maybe for a Christmas present... I LOVE it.
Vintage Baby Knits is an awesome book. Lots of cute comments from the sweaters I knit from it. :)

Just LOVE both of these sweaters so much! Sent the hubby to Barnes & Noble today to get me the new Vogue so I can cast on tonight! Then, the Classic booklet should arrive in time to start the other. Thank you so much for such great designs!

Wanna good joke? What do you call it when instead of raining cats and dogs, it rains chickens, ducks and turkeys? Fowl Weather!
