...one slender and tall adolescent to model sweaters for the Akkol and Urupinka orphanages in Kazakhstan. Unfortunately, none to be found in this family. Therefore, all sweaters are displayed on a hanger or in a chair.
All my knitting for our Spring Drive for the
Mittens for Akkol group is completed. I knit for sweaters and several pairs of socks.
OK, this one needs some steaming. Knit with Peace Fleece yarn. This was my first use of Peace Fleece. I was not too impressed with the yarn. Way too much vegetable matter in the yarn. Knitting was slowed down considerable since every foot or so I had to stop and pick out bits of straw.
Lyon Brand Yarn's
Top Down Pullover knit with
Jojoland Baritone 100% wool yarn. This a nice and easy top down pattern which I may knit again.
Knit with 1 strand of worsted weight Knit Picks Wool of the Andes and Knit Picks Suri Dream, a brushed Alpaca (no longer available from Knit Picks) after a pattern from Dawn Leeseman called
Merino Stripes Leaf Pullover . The original was knit with a Crystal Palace Yarn. I felt a belt would go well with it since the yarn is not striped.
Similar in construction to the first sweater, this one was knit with Berroco Ultra Alpaca. I liked knitting with this yarn. It is a soft, easy to knit with 50% Alpaca and 50% wool yarn.
Knit on Merrily!
All very nice knits! I especially like the "leaf sweater" and the blue one pictured below it. >)
