I'm sure that most of the knitters who stop by here have received their
Oct. 2010 Knit Picks Catalog. Well, you know that gorgeous colorwork sweater on the front? I didn't knit it, but I did test knit the
Gallatin sweater. I did it in the largest size -- making sure the yarn amounts were correct for the kit.
This sweater is knit with
Wool of the Andes Bulky. That means it knits up VERY quickly. Colorwork? Intarsia? And quick? YES! And the end result was a sweater I think is very beautiful. Hats off to Nina, for a lovely, well-written, and easy-but-looks-complicated pattern!
The body is seamless, and the sleeves knit separately in the round, until the two parts are joined for the raglan shoulders.
Knit on the collar, do the belt, et voila!
Please excuse the dirty mirror. My teenage son cleaned the bathroom, and guess what he forgot to do?
