From Sally — I’m Back!

Filed under: Updates — surly @ 4:25 pm

I’m back from several weeks in Colorado and I finally have a finished project to share.  This is one of those projects that should be photographed on a person instead of Lucy (shhhh — don’t tell her).  It’s cute and fits me well. But I have no one around who can snap a photo so I apologize in advance for the quality of the pictures.

I showed you the beginning of this project back in June. It is Window to My Soul, designed by Joji Locatelli. If you want to make it, don’t worry. It isn’t that slow a sweater to knit; I’ve been working on other projects (knitting and non-knitting) so it took me longer than it should have. The yarn is Madelinetosh Pashmina in the color Coustea. The color is almost impossible to capture. It’s much more vibrant and striking than it looks in these photos. The buttons are by the Glass Pens company. I bought them a number of years ago at the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival and have been waiting for the right project for them.

I made no modifications to this pattern other than deepening the armhole slightly and lengthening the bodice by an inch or two.

  1. This is just beautiful —- I wonder if the lace is tight enough that you feel comfortable wearing this with no shirt or camisole under it.

    It looks that way —

    LOVE the buttons??
