My Knitting Life

African Violet in Full Bloom!

OK, you caught me on a knitting binge. Sometimes I’m just so motivated to get stuff done, and this project was one that motivated me! So, here are the pictures. It looks great on, but I don’t have anything to put on underneath it since I’m on vacation and have a limited color/shirt selection. I’ll post pics of me wearing it in a few days! By the way, if you want to see the pattern I used, I’ll post a link in the right column. Look for Knitty: Leaflet!

Remember! Check your gauge if you decide to use worsted weight yarn! This fabric on this sweater is a lot looser than the one on Knitty! So if you desire a stiffer fabric, you’d best choose an Aran weight yarn.

Recent empty nesters relocate from house in middle of Indiana cornfield to condo near downtown Salt Lake City. I'm the knitter, he's the diner. Together we explore the city!

  1. Cute sweater, wonderful color. I saw that you queued Jeny Staiman’s Double Heelix. I want to knit it, too. Any chance that you’ll be at Knitting Today anytime soon?

    1. Thanks for the compliments. Yes, I’m going to knit Double Helix. I need to find some yarn I’d like to use. What about you? What will you use? I’m working at LYS on Mondays and Thursdays 12-4 and this Saturday for the next few weeks.
