It is winter already, and bitterly cold where I live. I love to take advantage of the shorter days and wrap myself in a blanket, enjoy a hot cup of tea (usually Tazo Zen, or Cinnamon Spice) and knit all evening long. Fewer outdoor activities and sporting events give me a small window of knitting time in January and February and I embrace it thoroughly!

My most recently published sweater is in
Vogue Knitting Magazine Winter 2013. The issue is just full of lovely choices to knit, and I appreciate the RED heart health theme. One of my resolutions is always to try to eat more healthy food, and ramp up my exercise routines. Apparently my sweater was one of 11 auctioned in a silent auction at
VKLIVE in NYC, and the proceeds were given to the "Stitch Red Charity." ( I missed being able to attend because of a beastly flu!)
This was a wonderfully enjoyable sweater to knit. I love turtlenecks, because I find them to be both flattering and stylish, and I think that detailed cuffs are always striking and feminine. The bobbles are easy and add some interest to a relatively simple to knit pattern.
I love this sweater, the pattern is so lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog! I appreciate your kind words because I always admire your taste and sense of style!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I've been wanting to make a called sweater. I'm tired I'd knitting scarves and hats!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't bought the issue yet. What weight yarn did you use?
The yarn is a fingering weight, but actually probably closer to a sport weight yarn. It was a relatively quick knit! Some times I think there is as much knitting in a scarf as a sweater, and they seem to take forever because it is such repetitive knitting. I usually prefer to knit sweaters because they are more diverting.
DeleteThat is stunning, you need to start an online shop and take orders.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tabitha! Right now, my hands are full with the design end- maybe one day...
