Wow, has it really been over two months since I last finished a project? Despite knitting nearly every day!?! But no matter. I am just so happy to be wearing my new Vasa and showing it off to you today.
Knitting this was loads of fun. I set out with the goal of using up some knit picks palette that have been in the stash for a good long while. Very proud of myself for showing some restraint and choosing just five different colors (2 shades of blue and brown plus a dark midnight heather to tie everything together). I also wanted to experiment a little bit with a simple color work pattern. The wavy stripes seemed appropriate and were easy & fun to knit.
Very happy with this one but my plans to use up stash kind of backfired when I ran out of the midnight heather. There was just no way I could go onto the knit picks website and order a single ball of yarn. So now I have quite a few more colors of palette in the stash. And more opportunities to play with color. Not such a bad thing, right?
i adore this!!!!! and it looks perfect on you! great colors. (the knitting gods were smiling on you….forcing you to add to the stash!!!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pullover! I love the colors and the little scallops. Just WOW!
ReplyDeletesuper cute!
ReplyDeleteI knit a similar pattern in a hat, it's a fun colorwork design!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Just like when I decide to find a use for a yarn in my stash and they realize I have to order more yarn to use with it because I find the "perfect" pattern for it! Love it!
ReplyDeleteAdorable- I can't imagine knitting a whole sweater in fingering weight yarn. I have a ton of palette in my stash too..wonder what to make of it?!
ReplyDeleteLovely ! Absolutely Beautiful. I adore this top and now I want one. The colors are great and will go into Fall and Winter as well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What a great idea for destashing, too (well, in an ideal world)!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the colour combination.
ReplyDeleteWow, it look amazing. It's never a bad thing to play with lovely colours and some websites are just irresistible.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute top!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you didn't plan that? (smile) I love it, and agree the colors are great. It's pretty tough to finish a large project entirely from stash.
