It took me awhile, but I was finally able to get some photos of me in my finished sweater, Something Tweedy (Ravelry Link).
Pattern: Something Red by Wendy Benard
Yarn: Tatamy Tweed (Ravelry Link) in Walnut
Needles: US 4 / 3.5mm
Started: November 26, 2007
Finished: February 22, 2007
I had to tweak the numbers a little bit to get the right fit. Luckily I have a sweater guru to help me out, otherwise I don’t think this project would have been the success it is. Also, the pattern is very loosely written making it very easy to modify.
I loved working with this yarn. Unlike most cotton yarns, this one in particular seems to have more give in it which made it much easier on the hands. It’s the nicest cotton blend I’ve ever had the pleasure to use.
It’s also more of a light worsted. The resulting fabric is nice and light, which is perfect for Hawaii’s climate.
My favorite part of the sweater is the button. I found it at Kaimuki Dry Goods and it was just one of those times where you find exactly what you need without any effort involved. Their button selection isn’t quite extensive either so I was even more impressed with me my find.
All in all, I’m very pleased with the way this sweater turned out. It fits beautifully and it just feels good. Hopefully it looks good too!
