Finally Finished Lavold Sweater
Lavold Hermod Sweater
I have been working on this sweater since October 2004. Do you know how many boyfriends, dates, moves, and passport pages I have gone through since then?
This is NOT a sweater that you wear to show off your curves. This is a bum-around-on-the-weekend sweater.
Detail
I used Elann's Naturelle 8/8 yarn. I had 2.09 lbs and I have some yarn left. I may or may not have enough yarn for the hood, I'm really not sure.
A few changes and comments... I added a few extra stitches to each size so it wouldn't be too tight at the hip. I changed the neckline slightly. I found it difficult to increase in pattern on the sleeve, and I think the sleeve should be wider. Were I to knit this again, I would make the sleeves more boxy, more square, to match the overall shape of the sweater.
I should note, all photos were taken before blocking.
Comments, Pingbacks:
Yes, I'm ashamed.
But you did a lovely job knitting it and I like the color.
