Work in Progress

I need a new sweater. I love tweed. I don't have any brown sweater. Hand-knitted sweaters are warmer than store-bought sweaters. I had this single skein of Noro sitting alone in my stash. This tweed is gorgeous (95% merino, 5% mohair). The pattern is easy and flattering....etc.

There's always at least one good reason to begin another knitting!


Inspiration: Hourglass Sweater de Joelle Hoverson (knitted top-down, instead of down to top)
Needles: Addi Turbo 4.5mm (have I already talked about my love for Addi?)
Yarn: Fonty, Super Tweed (chocolat) and Noro, Kureyon (164)
