Knits of 2011




Another weekly edition this year will be a look back at what I made in 2011. Last week, I talked about the yellow Tiny Tea Leaves Sweater. This week, another sweater, but for me! It was my "February Sweater" by Pamela Wynne. Pattern found here

This was my second sweater made for myself & definitely the most difficult. I say "difficult" not meaning, I almost pulled my hair out making it, but "difficult" as in the repetitive pattern was a little tough. Sometimes you find a rhythm in the needles & I never quite did with this one. It miraculously turned out a lot better than I anticipated, as I rounded my 100th mistake. The wool I used stretched into quite a long sweater after I washed & soaked it. I still wear it with one button since it looks too forced together with more than one.
Looking back at this, motivates me to start another February Sweater:) I mean, January sweater... Last year, I was set on making "Amelia" by Laura Chau www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/amelia-8
But this is the one I am leaning towards right now, Radiant Sweater by Lion Brand http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/radiant-sweater. What color??
