celebrating a spicy oatmeal...

yesserie, you read that right! it's a spicy one. with all of the warmth of autumn. i love it!


this is another pattern by jane richmond. i tell ya, i really really love her work ;) it's the oatmeal pullover, to be exact. i love it so much, that this is the third time i've knit it! hahah hey, i can accept that i'm obsessed... it's been said before ;) 


i love these colours, and the way this yarn knitted up. i used kertzer tweed montage. and the yardage is absolutely huge! i only needed two skeins! can you believe it? needle sizes used: 6.5mm and 8.0mm


this sweater has a very simple structure to it, and is more than suitable for beginners. great for learning to knit in the round. and since it's knit with larger needles and yarn, it's a quick project!


trust me when i tell you, i love this project... never has a sweater knit up so quickly! that's definitely a plus, don't ya think?


and if you're at all wanting to knit one for yourself, i'm teaching it! contact the cloth castle for details.

of course, i'm entering this into celebrate color for october's prizes. i've so enjoyed watching all of the lovely creations that have been posted there in this wonderful event! thanks so much to all of the coordinators! you guys are the best. 

Celebrate Color

have you been following along in celebrate color? it sure has inspired me to enter, and to create! i've had so much fun with it so far! do you find patterns you just need to knit more than once or twice? who are some of your fave designers? i'd love to chat! xo

    Gorgeous job Rebecca! Another thing to have in common...this pattern is next on my list to knit! I'm waiting for some yarn to arrive for it, and when it does the plan is to CO immediately!!

    Love it! You are such a knitting machine! I'm constantly reminding myself that I have 5 kids...thus the lack of finished knitting projects :) I love the colors too! I may have to try that yarn.

    buffy - goodness, if i had 5 kids i can assure you that i wouldn't be able to knit as much! as it stands, i can't believe how many sewing and knitting projects you are able to do, as well as all of your delicious baking! xo
