Fall colors

As the leaves outside turn a happy yellow and red, here are some shots of my yellow and red sweater. I think I am going to need these happy colors soon, so yesterday I finally started finishing it.

Armholes were stitched,



armholes were cut,


and shoulders were grafted.


One sleeve is almost attached.

Left to do:
Attach the second sleeve, darn in all the ends, and pick up and knit the neck edging. At my speed this could take all week.

Brrrrr, I need to hurry.

  5. OH! So So beautiful! I just love all the red and yellow and then the touch of green at the shoulders. She will be your constant companion come the cold... My mum leaves tomorrow (insert sad face here) and I will be catching up and replying to all things soon!

  9. Stunning sweater!! I'm so glad your comment on my blog brought me over here!

    I bet I'm one of your few readers (from the US, at least) who knows how your name is pronounced. Not that I *can* pronounce it correctly, exactly, but I do know how it's *supposed* to sound. :-)
