AW: Lowry Sweater
Finally! I feel like this one took ages! It has an allover honeycomb cable pattern, so that's not really surprising. The pattern is Lowry from the KnitScene Fall 2011 issue. Love the way it came out, though! The yarn is super soft and I feel like it hugs me in all the right places:
The only complaint I have (and it looks like a lot of people on Ravelry have the same complaint) is that the sleeves are super tight in the forearms. You can see how stretched out they are in this picture.
And a little bit in this one:
Fortunately the sleeves were knit separately from the torso piece, so I could just take them off and try again, but that will have to wait until after Christmas knitting. I'm about up to my eyeballs in Christmas knitting!
Good news though: I've finished the torso section on DH's enormous sweater. Just the sleeves now...and all my other projects...

Fabulous! I like that it is not super-bulky. What yarn did you use?
Thanks! I used Knit Picks Stroll Sport. I don't usually use sport weight, but I might have to more often!
