Yarn: Sundara's Sport Merino burgundy over raspberry
Pattern: Tatami
Adjustments: I did knit it as is for the purpose of test knitting. Then, I shortened the ties and tied on the inside of the sweater and then on the sideseam on the outside. I didn't like the ties all wrapped around me. I find it more flattering this way.
The pattern was simple to knit. I do love knitting all in one piece....but for some reason it seems to take longer.
The yarn is absolutely fabulous. I am so grateful to be able to do some test knitting for Sundara...you would have to be crazy to not work with this yarn!
It looks absolutely gorgeous on you! A fabulous color and flattering fit!
ReplyDeleteWOW. How beautiful!!! It looks great on you too!!
ReplyDeleteOMG.. I have to have one! That thing looks great on everyone! btw... thanks for the socks! ;) I love them!
ReplyDeleteWOW.. I LOVE IT. Fits perfect on you and well, I am almost off to get me a copy of the pattern myself :)
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, you are one lucky knitter, getting to knit for Sundara with her gorgeous yarns.
ReplyDeleteWOW carolyn, it looks really amazing on you. And how about that color?!?!? I'm glad you finally got to share it in all of its glory. Thanks!
ReplyDeletegorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so fantastic! I want one!
ReplyDeleteTres sexy, daaaahling!! Alluring without screaming "Here comes a knitted skanky ho!" the way that, unfortunately, some like to display their outfits.
ReplyDeleteYou described in your answer to my question about time management that you used to weigh a bit more than you do now. I hope that you can look at this picture and burst with pride at how beautiful you are.
Technically, I like the pattern a lot. She must have taken some inspiration from the Clapotis, no? The yarn is a lovely choice, too. Non-pooling, subtle in its effect and well suited to the pattern itself. An excellent job - and I agree with others re: the ties.
Gorgeous! The color and fit look great!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for pointing out that this was knit on Size 5s, I'm totally going to do it now! I honestly think your version is the prettiest sweater I have ever seen. And I love your urban aran, someone in my SNB group is knitting it out of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted in Charcoal and it is beautiful.
