Purple Pain

Here's the finished Rowan sweater. I actually completed knitting the body last fall, but just really didn't want to dive into finishing it. The Berocco yarn is great, but in hindsight, I should've chosen a less bulky yarn. Back stitch on the seams would have made it even bulkier, so I used mattress, but finding consistency with mattress was tough because of all the increases and decreases. Like the argyle cape, I will likely never wear this sweater. Oh- it's also very short. I should've guessed, since the model in the magazine was sitting down and you couldn't see the length. It's too short for my taste, but maybe one of my friends will want it!

Creeper

Last night I grabbed some Berrocco Peruvia Quick and decided to knit up the Creeper from Rowan 38. Seriously one of the best Rowans I've ever purchased. I've knit several designs from it in the past few years and continue to go back to it. I should be working on other things, but I haven't knit in ages, so I'm giving myself this project.


Creeper is the sweater on the right.
