Heather Finished
I got some wild idea that I should knit a sweater for my engagement photo session, set for the 16th (was supposed to be this weekend). I knit a pattern I've owned for years, Heather, in Elann's Baby Silk yarn.
I started the sweater Saturday, January 24th and finished it Saturday, February 6th. This is a personal record, since it's knit on size 3 needles at 7 spi and 10 rpi!
Yarn and beads (found at Michael's), came to under $40.
I made the garter st borders deeper, and the I-cord narrower. If anyone else wants to knit this I would say check the math for your size and make sure the sleeve is wide enough. The sleeves on this are VERY narrow. Also, I think the sleeve length is a little short, but that's OK.
When I move, the ridges ride up. Think I might SLIGHTLY overblock this yarn to account for that. If I had a smaller cup, that might not be a problem.
