That’s about how often I post lately, for which I apologize. I’ve been knitting quite a bit but everything I’m working on is slow. Plus, as is my nature, I often work on so many different projects at a time that it takes even longer for me to finish something.
So here is a project I finished quite a few weeks ago but didn’t post about because it’s difficult to photograph due to its short, “bat wing” shape. It looks cute on, but not so cute on my mannequin. I wore it quite a bit when I was in New York recently for a fun girls’ weekend.
The sweater is Eastbound, designed by Courtney Kelley for Interweave Knits. I used the yarn called for in the pattern: Fibre Company’s Organik. It’s a blend of merino, baby alpaca, and silk. Yes, it’s nice but as is the case with many soft, single ply yarns I expect it will pill. The color I chose is Solstice.
As I said, hard to photograph but easy to wear. (I’ll distract you first with my cherry blossoms.)
