I had been eyeing up this sweater for a few years. It's been on my long list of what to knit and it finally made its way on my needles. I LOVE it! This is the Weekender Sweater by Andrea Mowry.
I've made many of her patterns and she is a wonderful designer. I love her patterns, knitting them, wearing them, all of it. This sweater feels like a big, comfy, squishy, knitted sweatshirt. It's a boxy style (aka hides all the stomach stuff!!!). I knit this one up very quickly. I think I knit it in a month.
My only changes were to knit a size 5 body but switch so size 4 for the arms. I also didn't do the tubular cast on. I used long tail. I didn't do the tubular bind off on the sleeves. But other than that, followed it exactly.
I also read this book while I was knitting. I loved the book. What a great, fun, mystery story. I can see it as a great movie. I hope someone makes it into one!
I LOVE THIS SWEATER!! if i ever knit a sweater, it would be this one because this is something i would wear!!! loved the book too, i have a few pages left. i don't knit or read as quickly as you do!!
ReplyDeleteis this something i could make??!!
DeleteAbsolutely. There is only one part that you might need my help but it's at the neck line and it's not hard. Just something you've never done before. I didn't do the cast-on in the pattern. I just did my regular one.
