Remember that beautiful yarn from Elsawool that I was scared to dye (but did)? It has now been knitted with natural white and natural dark grey cormo yarn into a sweater.
The pattern is Ravello by Isabell Kraemer, a casual stripy number in fingering weight yarn.
I wanted a sweater that I will reach for all the time…I seem to love stripes, and knit in a light weight yarn, this ought to be a 3 season sweater. The sleeves are bracelet length, a bit on the shorter side, so I don’t have to worry about them getting in the way as I knock about. There’s absolutely no shaping in the body, so this will be a true sweatshirt replacement.
It’s a beautiful summer day outside, so I will have to put this sweater in a closet for now and wait for a bit of cool weather.
I am particularly excited about the single red stripe on the sleeve…
…which was only added because I was too anxious to see what the watermelon red yarn would look like knitted up against the dark grey. And it looks just like Neapolitan Ice Cream!
Now I think I will concentrate on some garments I can wear in warmer weather!
