Winifred

This sweater has been finished for a while, but I've been too busy wearing it to get any photos.  I've mentioned in the past that this project means a lot to me.  The person who designed the pattern, the person who gifted me the pattern, and person who gifted me the yarn all made this sweater possible and I treasure it all the more because of that.

The pattern is Winifred by the prolific designer Sarah Ronchetti of Sezza Knits.  This pattern was such a fast and enjoyable knit.  I definitely enjoy patterns with fun little details to break up rounds of stockinette stitch, the large cable down the front was always fun to reach.  The construction is seamless and top-down, which is definitely my favorite.

I know I've mentioned it before, but the way that Sarah wrote and structured the pattern was excellent.  I loved that she not only included instructions for 10 sizes, but also separate patterns for both worsted and DK weights.  She also put great little suggestions throughout the pattern to help make an even more polished final product.  Many times I feel as though patterns don't deserve a higher price (or even a price at all) for what the pattern actually provides, this is definitely an exception!

 

The yarn is Knit Picks Swish (worsted version), which is 100% Merino.  This is the colorway Copper, which is a apt name for it.  I cannot really wax poetic about this yarn, it was inexpensive but other than that I feel completely neutral about the experience.  One thing that made me a little sad is that it didn't have that nice Merino smell.

Kitty is initially in shock that I would dare pick her up and then she told me that if I didn't put her down she would eat me.

So, here it is!  Another wonderful sweater to cuddle into, although not for long because spring is well on it's way to North Carolina!
