This sweater has been off the needles for a while . . . patiently waiting for buttons.
Toetoe.
I love everything about this sweater. It was an engaging knit with just enough action to keep me entertained.
There are twisted stitches and a simple cable pattern running down the front. I used a tubular bind off on all the edges. The sweater would have been ready for action a while ago, but I took my time with the button decision. I had a lot of fun considering different options.
The yarn is Marybelle DK in Sunflower. This non-superwash base knits up beautifully and blocks like a dream. It's a hearty wool that's not too scratchy. I'm smitten and getting ready to cast on another sweater with this base.
In normal times, this sweater would have been a sample. Since shows aren't happening any time soon, it's all mine and I'm thrilled that it's a good fit. I still might use it for a sample some day, but for now I'm going to enjoy wearing it.
