celtic dreams
let no finished sweater be without a beer:
with as much as this sweater has aged, perhaps i should be holding wine instead
the above picture is fairly true to the color, but this all natural wool from Beaverslide Dry Goods also has hints of brown in it, as exhibited in the evening sun.
and that collar i was worried about?
lies fairly flat
Pattern: Celtic Dreams by Beth Brown Reinsel
Knit in the round from the top down. Tres cool.
Wool: Natural Dark Grey Heather from Beaverslide
Needles: Addi Turbos size 4.0mm. I don’t usually like turbos, but i had them on hand and i got gauge with them, so there you have it.
Modifications: Drastically changed the neckline. The original has a garter stitch band which i didn’t like. Any other mods were due to mistakes i made.
Anyone want ~150yds of the wool from this sweater? Just let me know. Also, if anyone would like the pattern book, let me know as well. It’s a bit marked up, but you can still read it.

HI! Wow, your Celtic Dreams is beautiful! I love what you did for the neckline. It is well done! If anyone would like to support a starving artist (well, OK, I’m too plump to be starving), you can buy the pattern from one of the many stores and mail order businesses listed on my website at http://www.knittingtraditions.com/orders.htm.
Happy Knitting!
