This week got away from me, I spent most of today thinking it was Wednesday. I started this sweater on Saturday. Thankfully we were in a city visiting family, as I’d overlooked the fact that this pattern uses 12mm needles for the body (the largest I have is 8mm). I was able to run to the store and pick some up right away.

I tried all 3 sizes for the neckline and none looked like the right fit, so I decided to do a provisional cast on and worry about the collar later.

    Pretty gradient! It’s colors I’d never choose (I’m pretty cool-toned) but man they’re lovely. I swear that yarn porn is one of the best parts of this hobby.

      So true. My yarn and pattern lists always grow when I’m around other knitters.

      Thanks! I was nervous I wouldn’t like how open it is but so far I’m loving it.

    That’s really pretty! I thought it was a close up of a tiny sweater until I read the needle size. What yarn are you using?
