Friday night I finished
Silk Tweed. It took me forever and a day to seam the sweater and weave in the loose ends. Beads of sweat were forming on my brow and I developed a little swamp ass while sitting there for hours, but I did it! It felt like I was never going to finish. This was my first time knitting with Knit Picks super wash wool, and I think it is an okay yarn. Nothing special. The sweater hasn't been washed yet; hopefully it won't pill or go wonky.
So on to another project...... can't let the needles cool off for very long. Hence, the birth of Salina in Rowan Felted Tweed. The pattern is from the book Vintage Knits.
I did have a moment of madness while working on Silk Tweed, but I'll save that for another post.

Gorgeous sweater! And now we actually have sweater weather so you can wear it! :)
I love the sweater...the color is just gorgeous! I'm also a big fan of that neckline. Well done!
"swamp ass" hahahahaha, I needed a good laugh. Thank you. hahahaha
Seriously, the sweater is fantastic. I just love the color you picked. Let me know how it washes up. I have a student about to start a project with that yarn.
Girl, you are an awesome knitter!
Your Silk Tweed looks absolutely fantastic! I love the neckline shaping, and the colour you've been using is so pretty too! Congrats on a really great accomplishment!
It's a pretty sweater, Diana. And you will LOVE Salina!
I sure hope you're not going to call it the Swamp Ass Sweater. LOL!
It looks great. Try not to melt those needles, tho!
I was just looking at the Salina pattern the other day after packing my languishing Laurent. Someday I'll get back to it :-)
