Photo time
Numerous rainy days in the Pac NW.(pardon the photo shop enhanced pics)
I finally opted to just do a self portrait with my completed sweater............ and Morning Glories shawl will be modeled by a neighbor's fence (grin)
Braid Cable Pullover with Side Slits (I bought this pattern at my local yarn shop - I'm sure yours will be able to find it for you)
Needle sizes 5 & 7
8 skeins Cascade 220 Heather color #4007
size medium
I knit this sweater exactly as the pattern was designed - no changes at all. edited to note: with the small exception that I did an i-cord edge around the bottom and cuffs instead of picot trim.
I love it and wear it often. This is the perfect weekend sweater.
Morning Glories Wrap
by Knitspot - Anne Hanson
2 skeins Alpaca-Merino hand dyed by Dicentra Desgins
colorway Teal
needle size US 9
Modifications: I only knit 2 repeats of the trellis section, and then knit 5 repeats of the flower section.
Finished blocked size : 24 x 85
This is yet another project that I am totally thrilled with.
I have worn it dozens of times.
Anne's patterns are fabulous.
That is an absolutely fabulous cabled sweater - it looks perfect on you! I like the effect of Morning Glory growing on the fence. ;)

Lovely sweater Teyani! It really suits you. And I know what you mean about knitting blogs making the world a smaller place - I don't know any other knitters in 'real' life...
