three

A three-day FO! And one of my favourites to date!

Minisweater
Pattern: by glampyre
Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Worsted, "vera", 2 skeins
Needles: Denise US9
Started: August 5, 2005
Finished: August 7, 2005

I had some fun with a self-timer photoshoot.

Next small sweaterish thing will be Elspeth, which I’m going to focus on for the next little while.

Have I mentioned that I’m on a yarn fast for the month of August? I’m doing well so far, and I think I can actually do it! Main motivation is the Kitchener-Waterloo knitter’s fair in September, so I’m gonna save up my money from this month to spend there! Excellent.

    Laura it looks fantastic. Great job. I can’t wait to see it in person. And I’m also on a yarn fast….maybe we should have a support group!

    It’s beautiful! You are such an inspiration (and I think you can knit faster than I can talk!). Love checking your blog – but it sure does make me feel slow. Happy Knitting.

    I can’t believe how fast you kniw! Your minisweater is way cuter than mine…I used the wrong yarn, and I didn’t dig the puffy sleeves. Yours looks great!

    Looks fantastic. You completely amaze me how fast you knit. This must be a stupid question, but how did you get the sleeves NOT to be puffy like the original design?

    Simply gorgeous! Looks great on you! And so quick, too! I love all those self-timer shots, especially the fourth one down where you’re puckering your lips – so Rowan-esque!

    I love how you’ve modified it into a wrap! I’m close to finishing the same pattern (minus your adaptation) and you’ve really inspired me to get that bad boy finished, stat. Cute cute!

    Great job on the minisweater! I do have a question on how you modified it into a wrap sweater? I am very interested in making this minisweater and like your modifications. Thanks!

    So, I know this was posted ages and ages ago, but I’m just now starting my own minisweater, and as Lisa wanted to know, I was curious how you made the sleeves ‘un-puffed’, and if there were any other modifications you made to the pattern aside from adding the tie. Thanks in advance for any info!

    Oh, and of course, I love the way yours turned out! Seeing pics of it was what inspired me to knit my own :)

    […] I realized on Thursday that the post office is closed tomorrow due to a holiday so I had to finish my niece’s sweater quickly and had to mail it without blocking it first. I’m not so thrilled with it and I think it might be too small so I sent her other gifts just in case the sweater doesn’t work. I have another niece with a birthday next month so I quickly started that sweater so that I won’t be rushing to the post office without blocking it first. I’m knitting Glampyre’s mini-sweater without the puffy sleeves and instead of a button maybe with ties like this one for the closure.I really like this particular Manos colorway and I have to tell myself that I shouldn’t be selfish and keep this for myself. I have the really pretty Malabrigo that Susan gave me that I could turn into this for myself so I have to resist. Sometimes Manos for me is like Koigu–I love the progression of colors and I cannot wait to see what color the next stitch will be. […]

    […] The pattern is based on Stefanie Japel’s Mini-Sweater Pattern. I need to thank Sara G for pointing out how cute this would be as a wrap sweater. I think she found it on the blog of Laura, aka Cosmicpluto. And anyhow, here it is. I’ve written up some notes for the changes I made, and have them available at the store. […]
