No More IHS, Let's Start a Sweater.

I'm nearly done with one sleeve of the Cobblestone Sweater from Brooklyn Tweed.

I good knitter friend, ICon, who taught me my first knit stitch gave me (A WHILE AGO) some gorgeous heathered wool that looks grey at first glance, but up close has some highlights of blue and red.

Not enough for the Cobblestone Sweater, but enough to get me started.

She (much later) also sent me the link to the Cobblestone - which I really like. That Brooklyn Tweed guy certainly knows what male knitters like.

So, this entire project is ICon's fault, or inspiration.

I also heard about a knit shop in Hedgesville, W.V. so as soon as I found use for all the pre-existing crappy acryllic, I zipped out there and bought four skeins of another heathered wool, same gauge as the grey.

So the yoke of the Cobblestone will be a purplish (but not PURPLE!) with the same kind of red highlights as the grey.

I don't know if I'll be up to the yoke before school starts again, but it's the perfect time to start it.

Chat soon!
