Comments: Wow. After Thermal, this top essentially knit itself. I kind of feel like the Peanuts kids on the Christmas Special where they just frantically wave their hands over the Christmas tree and it is instantly decorated. Really all I did to knit this was wave my hands about a lot. π
This sweater was an easy, satisfying knit. The pattern was well written and the Cotton Ease knit up wonderfully. Only thing is for some reason I used slightly more yarn than the pattern indicated was necessary. All told I think this sweater cost me around $25 for the pattern and the yarn. Not bad.
I knit this top with my Denise set instead of my KnitPicks Options because I like being able to connect more length to the cable to try on the top as I go. That really is the biggest drawback for me with the Options set – no connector pieces! Oh well, that’s why I hold on to my Denise set.
Not much else to say about this knit. The only modification I made was I knit the neck on needles one size smaller than the rest of the top. I did this to ensure that the neckline wasn’t too wide and it worked.
What’s next you ask? It’s time for the Summertime Tunic! Details Monday. π

Okay…10 days…seriously…and ran out of yarn…all I’ve got to say is Gorgeous!!
Gawgus. This is really your color. You must be a Spring like me!
10 days vs. 2+ months, now there’s a sweater I could knit! And I plan on it, once I finish a few of those scarves I’m working on.
That looks great on you! I might have to add it to my must-knit list….After I finish my Green Gable.
Are people born wicked? Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?
You can thrust that WICKED up on me baby. It looks awesome and so do you.
Alyssa You look beautiful in blue – great job, girl!
Looks wonderful on you! What a great color for warm weather, too π
Nicely done, I’ve heard good things about this yarn.
Great job! It looks lovely on you.
