Here's the picture, which was difficult to take without a model:
This is a sweater I knitted sometime before I was married. I can't remember when, but keep in mind our 23rd wedding anniversary is coming up in May. This sweater is probably one of the most complex sweaters I have ever knitted. It has a hood and built-in side pockets which are knitted into the garment, not sewn on after. I slipped in a calculator into one of the pockets so you can see it better.Well, I'll leave you with this. I am working diligently on the baby blanket and hopefully I'll have a picture to post soon!
Happy Knitting :)
that looks really nice! i'm curious, is it something you still wear?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWOW!! Do you still wear it - it looks like it's in excellent condition.
ReplyDeletewow, it's too bad you don't still have the pattern. it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteRen and Nora,
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question...I do occasionally wear my sweater, not all the time mind you, but it is a good in between jacket. In fact it's hanging on my kitchen coat rack!
happy knitting :)
What a gorgeous sweater. Too bad you didn't keep the pattern :-) I hope to eventually make something I'll still have twenty some years later.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love that sweater! I can't believe how amazing and fashionable it still looks after all those years!! What baby blanket pattern are you using if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking for a pattern for my cousin's baby this spring.
ReplyDeleteTammy,
ReplyDeleteI'm using one of my mother's patterns for the baby blanket. (Picture of it in progress is in my previous post) I definitely know she didn't design it. Probably one of her friends passed it along to her. If you email me(address is in profile) I'll be happy to type it out for you if you are interested for your personal use. Very easy...I think you would enjoy the pattern.
The sweater is gorgeous!! I love the design...it is too bad you don't still have the pattern. I hope to knit a sweater someday..... We will celebrate 24 years this May :-) My husband still wears the rain coat I made him before we were married!! (Remember the Frost Line kits????)
ReplyDeleteOne of those timeless classics. I love it when you can knit something that you can wear for years. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sweater! Happy knitting on the baby blanket. I'm starting mine this weekend. Oh, and another pair of socks (of course)! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great sweater. I can't believe it's more than 23 years old.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous sweater!!!
