Sometimes small knitting miracles do happen.
When EVERYTHING (and you know lots can go wrong) works out the way you wanted it: the yarn, the drape, the color, the fit, the pattern, the instructions and last but not least that comfy and cozy feeling when you put in on … and again … and again.
I’m totally in love with it!
I used two yarns held together, Northbound knitting and Isager Alpaca 1. They made a very happy couple.
More details and pictures can be found on my Ravelry project page.
I admire Regina Moessmer for this design, I could not do this. I think textured sweaters must be amongst the most complicated patterns to design, because the mathematics need to be spot on! I was lucky to participate in the testknit of this beauty, so thank you Regina for making this one of my TOP favorites!!!
Another beautiful sweater ! I really like the models you choose and the yarn you use – and this pattern (too) will go into my Ravelry queue. Wonderful!
Thank you my dear!! I like simple patterns most, with perhaps some interesting detail here and there. In the end they’re more wearable than the multicolor ones (but I LOVE making those too!).
I know what you mean. Idem for me 🙂
Yup, that’s beautiful. I can absolutely see why you’re so pleased with it.
Thanks! I love wearing it so much. It’s so rewarding when you get the feeling all of it is just “right”. Happy Saterday!
Gorgeous! I do love the drape and the way the sweater fits. Well done!
Thanks, I think those are exactly the two elements that are most important to get that top sweater : FIT & DRAPE!
Fabulous sweater – it’s perfect!
Thank you my sweetie!
A beauty! The yarn & colour are spot on. I can see why this is a favourite 🙂

Thank you so much! NBK and Isager have been a great discovery. Especially the Isager has stolen my heart!
Happy Sunday to you!!!
It really does look like a good fit. Seems like a very serviceable sweater. I hope you get to keep your test knit.
I already had a lot of wear from it, I could live in it 🙂
It does look like a dream to wear! Lovely, lovely. It’s always great when the knitting stars align. xx
What a wonderful way to put that in words “when the knitting stars align”. Love that, I’ll try to remember that one! xx
Its a beauty! I love the colour it turned out in. Absolutely stunning.
Thanks!! I’m so pleased with it all, it has everything to be a favourite.
hmm, yes, I can see that. It is superbly beautiful. 🙂
What an elegant sweater, and obviously it was a pleasure to make. Knitting at its best!
I want it! Putting it in my favs, thank you for knitting it!
I love wearing it a lot, it’s sooooo comfy 🙂
Wow! I just love it. I have some yarn in my stash that wants to play with that pattern. Thanks so much for the ravelry link.
Thank you! I can really recommend this pattern a lot, it takes just a little bit of concentration for the shoulder parts and after that it’s just TV knitting. Enjoy your day!
