To this:
And FINALLY this:
(Sorry about the crummy picture.)
It's really done and I wore it to work yesterday. It is nice and warm. The color isn't exactly what I was expecting....I still say it looks like homemade tomato soup rather than coral. But that's okay, homemade tomato soup is warm and cozy. :)
Okay, the scoop on this sweater is this: 6 skeins of Peace Fleece Lauren's Coral. Knit on size 8 needles that I bought from Peace Fleece that actually measure out at 9 on my handy dandy needle gauge. I did so love knitting with those needles though... The sweater was knit in size medium. Whenever I buy a top it is always an XL. Or bigger. So the fit is a bit snug and if I use this pattern again I probably make it a size bigger. I love the fuzziness of the yarn after a nice soak. The mohair hides the cat hairs that got knitted in! An added benefit.
I bought the pattern & yarn as a kit. It came with 9 skeins of yarn so I have 3 full skeins and 4 little bitty balls leftover. What to make with it??
