It’s not February…
January 26, 2009
but I have the sweater for it.
I jumped on the bandwagon and knit the February Lady Sweater. It has 3730 projects on Ravelry.
I used Cascade 220 handpaints in colourway 9930. It used 4 skeins. Every last little bit of 4 skeins.
If I did it again, I would do a few more rows before starting the lace pattern. I think the bunching under the arms is caused by not having enough length there.
Enough writing. You want pictures.
I had to crop my head out. I had horrible expressions as it was about -15C while we were taking pictures.

It looks fabulous! Fabulous color. I think I need to start mine… Thanks for the inspiration and the bunching under the arms advice, I think you’re right. But, honestly, it’s not bad at all. If you hadn’t said anything, I wouldn’t have noticed anything. It fits very, very nicely.
Did you knit it with negative ease? How much positive or negative ease is there?
