FO: Sweater for myself
 

I've only made one sweater for myself (that I actually kept) before this and got rid of it years ago. This is based on Drops pattern 127-13 like the bright green one I made a while back for my youngest daughter. I liked the pattern and thought I'd like one. This yarn was the wrong gauge so I knit the smallest size and hoped for the best. I also made a lot of changes including going with 2 colors and intarsia leaves this time and adding bobbles (pattern had some but not exactly the same). Yarn is Queensland Kathmandu DK (merino, silk, cashmere blend).

That's so pretty Judy! Glad knitting the smaller size worked out for you!

Love it! Your adventurousness paid off big time! That's beautiful and very nicely done. I'm really glad you made something so lovely for yourself. You really need to keep it.

Beautiful colors and it sounds like luscious yarn. The fit is perfect so the decisions on size worked out very well. Definitely a keeper. Enjoy this one yourself, Judy!

It is very nice and I love the green! Great job!

As always, your work turns out a Winner! I feel ya....about Plan B....then maybe Plan C....so that it turns out as you envision! Great work! The cardigan fits so nicely, too!

Very nice. Good work!

ooooo very very nice. I admire people who make sweaters!! Hard to do! ( I think! ) I am sure you will get many compliments when you wear it and then can say.....hmmmm I MADE IT!! :)

WOW!! With bobbles Too!! Shoot...they make me cringe.... :yay:
