pumpkin

Monday, September 29th, 2008

so, back in 2005, i made the-sweater-that-was-meant-for-me-but-fits-sop. Then, in 2006, i made the refined raglan. Now, the only similarity is not just Silky Wool…

In 2005 strickte ich the-sweater-that-was-meant-for-me-but-fits-sop. Dann, in 2006, kam der refined raglan. Nun, kommen die beiden zusammen …

pumpkin

Yes, i ripped out the refined raglan, after not really wearing it and reknit the sweater that was meant for me – for me!

Ja, ich habe den refined raglan gefroggt (Hilfe hier, wie wurde man das richtig sagen?) und als Pulli für Mich gestrickt!

pumpkin

Yarn: Elsebeth Lavold’s Silky Wool in Black
Needles: Various, 6mm/US size 4
Beer: Wasatch Brew Pub’s Pumpkin Ale
Verdict: I love the way the sweater fits (finally) and the beer is reminiscent of spicy pumpkin without being overwhelming or sweet.

cabled cardigan

cable-cardigan

you might find it hard to believe, seeing as it hasn’t really been mentioned, but the cabled cardigan is done! Honestly, the only reason I take so long to finish a sweater is that, with beer being taxed at 86% in utah, i have to save up to buy the celebratory drink!

Man wird vielleicht erstaunt, da ich ihn kaum erwähnt habe, aber der Cabled Cardigan ist fertig!. Leider muss ich langsam stricken um mir meinen feierlichen Umtrunk zu leisten, da Bier im Utah auf 86% besteuert ist.

Pattern:
Cabled Cardigan VogueKnitting Winter 05/06
Designer:
Kathy Zimmerman
Yarn:
Beaverslide Wool in Charcoal
leftover from this sweater for sop
changes

likes
this has a super broad collar that will keep the back of my neck warm once the temperatures have dropped 30 degrees
dislikes
bobbles are not necessarily my thing
