Another day, another sweater...

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.
