Update: Pullover Progress


I am working along on my Cozy V Neck Pullover, my first adult-sized sweater! This weekend I reached a point where I could put the top on scrap yarn to try it on and I am so happy to report that it fits! It actually fits pretty well.

I have moved on to the ribbing and would like to finish that this week so I can bind off and bring it home and model it for my mother. Then I will tackle the sleeves...

I love the yarn, itis Cascade Pastaza and although it is a little sheddy and a little splitty it is soft in my hands, knits up beautifully and is a gorgeous heathered red with flecks of black that make a very rich vibrant looking sweater, the picture does not do it justice.

I am loving my first sweater project!

When you get to where you think it's done, if you have enough yarn knit at least another inch. Trust me :)

Absolutely, I intended to make it a little longer. Thanks!
