| cochenille's version on ravelry |
and I might have even talked about it before today... I can't even remember, this is what happens when i'm completely sidetracked with a pattern... mrs. garter. by ankestrick ...so so smitten. I can just picture myself wrapped up in this with a good book and a cup of tea, in front of the Christmas tree. yes. perfect. though I highly doubt I could have it done in time for this Christmas, (I don't even have the yarn yet.. hah) i'm pretty determined to knit it .

| lilalu's version on ravelry |
the big question now is which colour-ways I want to knit the sweater in. i'm certain I want to knit the shorter version (as you see in both examples). i'm also partial to both of these combos. either a grey and darker grey, or a grey and yellow...
as for which yarn i'll use? i'm totally going to get a custom dye by the amazing sandara of duck duck wool! and i'm pretty excited about it!!
i'm also kind of surprised that this pattern has only been entered 60 times on ravelry. all of the comments are that the pattern is amazing, so well written, and the sweater is a quick fave staple of the knitter. at any rate i'm super excited to make this one a staple in my wardrobe .
but honestly, what do you guys think regarding the colour choices? any input?
do you have a sweater that is just calling your name? which is it? come chat. it's the perfect day for it, really. xo
Ohhhhh. I vote darker gray body with lighter gray stripes. I would suggest a KAL but I could nver keep up with you! Thanks for adding another dream to my ravelry list ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, you know I do love a pop of color! So I would choose a nice heathered grey for the bulk of it and then pop it with a gold, turquoise, or even red for the stripes and lower half of the sleeves. It would be perfect for brightening up a dreary day in the long of winter.
ReplyDeleteI love the darker version for this sweater. It looks so smooshy and comfortable.
ReplyDeletethanks everyone for the lovely comments! I can not wait to wrap myself up in this squishy sweater!!! xoxox
ReplyDeleteI like the first one and what a fabulous design. I cant wait to see how yours knits up!
ReplyDeletethanks sue! i'm excited too! xo
DeleteI'm partial to the yellow/gray combination, or really any gray/pop of colour! Good luck choosing :) Either way the sweater will be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteit's just so hard to choose! hahaha oxoxoxo. but I agree, with this style, pretty much anything will look fantastic. xo
Deletehellooooo my gorgeous. So, you could obviously rock any (and all) colors, so Q is whether you want this to have the color pop, or keep it neutral and have fun w/ accessories?? We obviously need to discuss colors asap. This will be amazing on you! xoxo
ReplyDeleteweee! I know!!! I can't wait to settle on colours! xoxoxoxo
