Yay! My Amber sweater is finally finished! My husband took a day off from work on my birthday this week so I could have a little time to myself while he took care of Sam, and it was just what I needed to complete my sweater. I added sleeves as this is Minnesota and we need sleeves here no matter how cute the pattern is as a vest. Overall, I am pleased with how it turned out and it's feels pretty comfy too. The best part was that when I gave it a bath before blocking more indigo dye came out in the water. So hopefully I won't have blue dye rubbing off on my arms and neck as I did on my hands while knitting. It feels great to get another WIP off the needles. Of course, you'd think this would translate into my wanting to finish another WIP, but you would be mistaken. It makes me want to reward myself by casting on a new sweater! Oh, knitting logic is hard to follow isn't it?

So pretty, and it looks great as a vest or sweater!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I was tempted to stop at the vest stage (much quicker), but I'm glad I added the sleeves (much warmer!)
DeleteThat sweater is beautiful. Hooray for finishing another WIP.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea!
DeleteSuch a beautiful sweater, really gorgeous lace work. The yarn looks very cosy and warm, hope it doesn't turn you blue!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've worn it once and haven't had any blue rub off, but I'm still wary. I want to wear it for Christmas at my father's house, but he has a white couch. Maybe I will just sit in a chair to be on the safe side :)
DeleteBeautiful work, Ann! That shade of blue is heavenly, and the lacy pattern is so pretty.
