The second try on the neckline ribbing was the charm;
-the needles I chose for the first attempt was too small and it made the fabric gather!
This is a custom fit sweater that is just right in every measurement for me!
I used Stroll sock yarn from KnitPicks, machine knit completely on the LK150 machine
except for the neck ribbing. Perfection!
See how I used the centered double decrease to give me a sweet line in my V-neck?
It's the perfect weight sweater for us here in Florida! It's gonna be my go-to sweater!
The only other creative endeavor has been to bind this quilt for our group-everyone is bringing in such sweet quilts for the police officers to have for children caught in the middle of domestic
violence. I will be high lighting more of the wonderful quilts that come in! The quilt had hardly hit the floor and Lena was modeling for me!
Congratulations! It turned out great.
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is just great! It's just the kind I love to throw on when it's chilly out. It looks so comfy.
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is a perfect go-to piece.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is adorable. Some little one is going to find comfort in those sweet pandas.
The sweater turned out beautifully. I like the v-neck finishing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for making quilts for the little ones. They are often in such terrifying circumstancs through no fault of their own. Having something like this quilt gives them an anchor to hold on to. Can you tell it's a passion of mine?
Blessings,
Betsy
I'd never have the patience to do a sweater in sock yarn but the machine is a perfect solution!
