From Sally — Piano Lessons

Filed under: Updates — surly @ 2:23 pm

I finished a new sweater a couple of weeks ago.  One reason I haven’t posted about it before is that I kept hoping for better photos.  Hopes dashed, I’m posting anyway.   Squint and pretend it looks better than it does here (because it does).

The pattern is Piano Lessons designed by Carol Sunday. (Please look at her photos; they’re wonderful. I think it helps to have a young, pretty model!) This sweater uses an interesting construction — mitered corners, short rows, raglan sleeves. It was a fun sweater to knit.

For yarn, I used FÅR by Woolfolk. In some ways, I wished I’d used one of Carol’s yarns, which are all lovely. FÅR is wonderfully soft and beautiful, but the sweater I made earlier in the year with it has started to pill more than I’d like. I’ll need to be careful with this one and keep a shaver handy.

  3. It may not be brightly lit, but it’s exquisite. I love the color you chose, better than the blah color Carol chose. (Although, I certainly agree. She’s an amazing designer.) And your knitting is perfect. You must feel proud!
