Christmas Knitting 006.jpg
My husband is allergic to wool so I purchased this extremely yummy stone-colored yarn from one of my favorite eBay vendors. This yarn is 55% silk, 15% Bourette silk, and 30% linen. The sweater is knit with 2 strands using size 2 circular knitting needles. I began this sweater in March 2005 and finished it just before Thanksgiving.
This yarn was perfect for intricate patternwork. I used 3 different patterns from Barbara G. Walker's Charted Knitting Designs. They are:
- Center: Celtic Flourish, pg. 122
- Middle panels: Saxon Braid, pg. 80
- Edge panels: Spliced Oval, pg. 67
