Yarn Along

Hello! Hope you all had a nice holiday. I was very happy to have a few days off work and that meant lots of knitting time. My sore elbow and shoulder might not be happy, but I am!

I made a ton of progress on my Rose and Cross Pullover.
I modified this pattern with the help of my sister, Andee. The original pattern is very big and loose and I prefer a more fitting sweater. I added some of the mods on my raverly project page.
I'm on the bottom rib and then I need to knit the sleeves.

So far it's quick and quirky and I'm liking it.









Here are some photos of the past week...














Happy Knitting!

    Wow, I am in love with that sweater! I have had a lot of fun playing with a little bit of Fair Isle this past year and am planning to do more soon. This one is going on my favorites along with your modifications! Gorgeous! It looks like a cozy Christmas, and I hope you have a Happy New Year!

    That's so gorgeous, I love the yoke design and the colours :) I got a kit for Christmas to make a similar top so hopefully I'll have my own one soon!

    Love the colourwork! Your we looks a lot like ours, except we don't have snow. Or American football. But lego and reading and small children with tools? OH YES!
