One of the five knitting books I got for Christmas (oh yes, it was a very kitting Christmas) was Brave New Knits. Zillions of blogs have done a much better review job than I could do, so I'm not even going to try beyond telling you to check it out if you have yet to. Over our week at home my mom and I dragged the family to our favorite yarn shop, which just happened to be having a sale on green and red yarn. I picked up a sweaters worth of Berroco Ultra Alpaca in this gorgeous heathered green. I'm using it to make the Milk Maiden Pullover by Teresa Gregorio. Now, don't ask me why I've decided to knit a sweater on size US 4 needles. I think I may have lost my mind. But it should be pretty. I love the construction, the length of the sleeves, and, of course, the square neckline. Hopefully I'll finish before it is too hot and humid to wear wool.

OMG, that's gonna be gorgeous! I love garments knitted on small needles... they make a very fine fabric. And that pattern is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCute sweater! I can't wait to see what it looks like finished :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up! I'll have to check out the book. Love that color of green by the way!
