Pattern: Frieda from Debbie Bliss’ Alpaca Silk Book
Yarn: 13 skeins of Lion Cashmere Blend in Creme
Started: December 17th
Finished: February 28th
Modifications: I lengthened the body a bit, made the cables attatched on the sleeves (the pattern called for knitting the cable and side panels of the sleeve seperately and seaming them at the end), and I knit the turtleneck for 6 inches instead of 9 because I ran out of yarn and it looked ok.
Baggy sleeves aside, I love this sweater. The fit in the body is really nice, and its very comfortable. This is my second sweater in this month, and my second time using this yarn. It is so soft, and since I got it on sale back when I worked for Hancock Fabrics, I was able to score a good deal for cashmere.
