I have a couple of pre-blog knitting projects to share with you. Here I am in 2004 modeling my just finished sweater. The shape of the sweater is from The Complete Book of Raglan Sweaters. I used Elsebeth Lavold's silky wool and needed to adjust the pattern to add more rows between the increase rows at the arms.
The rose design is from Hawaii in Dalegarn booklet 122.
I like the matching design on the sleeve. If I were to knit this now, I would use larger needles. The yarn bloomed a bit with washing and doesn't have the same drape as before washing. Yeah, I know, I should have knit and washed a swatch.
The next sweater is Capri from the Dalegarn booklet 122. It is a simple sleevelss design with a band of colorwork at the bottom.
This sweater is knit with Svale.
