Lollypop!
July 22, 2007
I am certainly glad I finished my Lollypop sweater over a week ago, because I haven't knitted a thing for the last week, and I wouldn't have had anything to show otherwise. What I will show next time remains a mystery, as I'm having the most unproductive spell ever.
Anyway, here is the sweater! I wanted to try making a sweater with a circular yoke design, but thought I'd try a relatively simple version first before adding any fairisle. And this is the result! I think it turned out very wearable (she says, having not worn it yet, haha), and I will start secretly working on my fairisle project soon.
Click on the photo to see more. I knitted it in Debbie Bliss Rialto, which is very nice and comes in some lovely colours, I can see myself using it for another project quite soon. Also, there is a gorgeous cabled vest on the cover of the pattern book for this yarn (click here), I would very much like to make it at some point. Anyway, I hope you like the sweater!

Very nice fit. Love the colours, love the neckline, love the fit. It's just purrrrfect. Now I am thinking of making something with a similar neckline.:O)

That's fab :D Really suits you too! Did you knit it up or down? And I know you are a top notch knitter, but I remembered reading about this site a while ago and your jogs made me think of it - you may have already tried it, but it is worth letting you know at least :D
