You know you always make me laugh when I lurk about your blog. I think your sweater is going to turn out awesome.. I love that colour and that is saying a lot from a girl who dislikes reddish tones most of the time. Good luck :)
Cheers,

I finished that sweater about a week ago. Just have to get the buttons in place and then it’s ready to wear. It was actually really fast and easy (my first sweater ever) but I did it the regular way though. And the seaming was REALLY boring.

I think it’s actually a good idea to make it flare a little less. I made mine in the smallest size as well and I think it might be a little difficult to wear it under a “real” jacket. I did have one ball of yarn left after I was finished and would have had a bit more if I had figured out that it was a good idea to felt together the ends of the yarn instead of having a LOT of ends to weave in.

Great color of yarn! Looking forward to seeing it when it’s done.

Ooh, ooh. I was just looking at this sweater the other day. I think the yarn you picked will be perfect. I can’t wait to read about your adventures with the DROPS jacket in ”Eskimo” or ”Silke-Alpaca” with A-shape and ¾-long or long sleeves (you’re right – that is annoying to even copy and paste).

Mmmmmalabrigo. I have a co-op order of this on the way to me. Undyed, so I get to dye it!

What does this have to do with your post? Well, virtually nothing!

Carry on!

Mmmmmmalabrigo indeed! What colour is that, red? Or orange?
I’ll look forward to seeing what you do with NaKniSweMo, I’m going to cast on for my contribution tonight. Even though I’m “designing” it myself, am still not sure about the stitch pattern and have barely made any calculations!
