A Sleeve out of Lindy, a linen yarn from KnitPicks..
I like to start with the sleeve for a lot of reasons-it is smaller
and like a gauge swatch (which I did first!) it gives very good information
in a smaller piece than a back or front!
I fell in love with a pattern from Machine Monthly Magazine
and decided to use the hem detail on my own custom pattern!
And then there were two!
And they matched exactly!
I'm learning!
This isn't blocked yet so it is a bit wonky-linen yarn yields a funny fabric until it is washed and dried.
But the detail is very pretty and it took as long to do those 15 rows as it did the rest of the sleeve!
This is only elbow length which is the length I will use most of the year!
I am onto the front now--stay tuned!
linen might look a bit wonky after knitting - but I am sure it's perfect for your warm weather!! happy knitting:)
ReplyDeleteThat's just amazing! It must be so much fun to know you'll have a finished garment so quickly. It would take me years to finish a sweater like that.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful edge!
ReplyDeleteVery, very pretty! How clever are you!! xx
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful color for a fall sweater and the edging is beautiful. It's unreal to me how fast a sweater comes together when you machine knit. So much fun!

I like this yarn a lot. The bottom is just so pretty.
ReplyDeleteOooh, that is lovely. The bottom edge adds a nice touch to the stockinette stitch.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, can't wait to see the finish, and with your lightning quick machine knitting I bet I don't wait long. And love the machine and hand sewing projects, I am itching to get to my machine today, but I don't even know what to work on!!
ReplyDeletePretty colour!
