First Fair Isle Sweater

I finished this project at the end of last winter - with only enough cool weather to wear this once before spring sprung. This was knit with Nature Spun sport wool on size 4 circulars. The size was developed using EPS. I also made up French cuffs for this. This is nearly identical to the cream version in yesterday's post without the steeking and the buttons.

Camera obscura

Hey, the camera's not so tough! I took pictures of many of my projects this evening. The photos are alright, but I want to work on getting more accurate color. I thought I'd start by showing some of my earlier projects and work up to my latest and most favorite project to date. But it turns out that my most recently finished project had the best photos. So, here she is.....the Elizabeth Zimmerman fair isle yolk EPS sweater. I am going to post this on Zimmermaniacs and see what others think. It was a first for several things - my first crocheted steeks, my first buttonholes, an i-cord around the entire thing....all in all this took about 8 weeks and I think it is lovely. I wore it to work once - with jeans - and got a couple of compliments. Next stp.....more attractive/creative photos. Until next time....
