I will be wearing my new sweater at some point this weekend. (And tonight to SnB. And for Thanksgiving. And many times after that.) I finished Dorflinger Tee by Mandy Moore, from this year's fall issue of Knitscene. Obligatory headless sweater shot:
I love this sweater. Big yarn makes for a quick project! This particular big yarn is Schaefer Yarn's Esperanza (sadly discontinued!!) in the Pomegranate colorway. There is a subtle tonal variation but it works nicely with the lace here. I haven't bothered to block the sweater and I don't think that I will - I would rather wear it. I find that I do pull at the bottom of the sweater, so maybe it will get a little blocking just to lengthen it a smidge.
And wouldn't you know? The little Lorax who won't wear most of the handknits, wants to be in the photos - look at that pose! When I held up the sweater to show her she thought it was a dress. Would love to try it on her, but I would also rather have smiles and hugs than tears.
Maybe one day I can get her to take the photos!

Color me green with a tad of jealousy! ;-) Class with Ann Budd! That is super cool.
Seriously, I hope you have a great time. I saw that String Theory was going to be at the Marketplace. I would highly recommend looking at their Caper Sock Yarn. It is so yummy. I got some in the latest sock swap that I'm in.
Sounds like loads of fun! Was gonna try and make SnB tonight, but stuck in report card h*ll. So doubt I'll make it. Next Thursday is parent conferences. So maybe I can make it in December...Have a lovely weekend and that sweater is GORGEOUS!
That sweater is so cute! Have a blast and take all the yarn, projects, and FOs you want; they'll understand. : )
I CAN:T WAIT to see you. and you will not feel greedy in the stash room. there is more than enough to go around.
