FO no. whatever 2006! Hourglass sweater
Clap-clap happy dance! I actually totally finished something!:
details:
pattern: hourglass sweater from last minute-knitted gifts by joelle hoverson
yarn: noro cash iroha shade 10 (spruce-ish), less than 9 skeins for second-smallest size, 50 g pr. skein. (this yarn comes both in 40 and 50 g skeins - beware!!)
needles: 4,5 mm circular for body and yoke, 4,5 mm dpns for sleeves
modifications: picot edges and a couple more repeats around neck to avoid shoulder-show-off.
satisfaction: very, very big!
While knitting I was worried it was getting too small, but I knit on, as I know that noro-yarns have a tendency to stretch a bit. After finishing and doing a little steam-blocking, the fit was perfect- just as I wanted it! Cash Iroha is an amazing yarn - very rustic looking - yet softer and more comfortable than most yarns I've ever used. Why on earth did Noro discontinue it? To anyone wondering and pondering: get it while you can!!

I usually don't like picot edges, but they look great on this sweater! If I ever knit it, I may add them too! | |

You have done a great job, this is absolutely gorgeous! Love those picot edges, too. And it reminds me that I have always wanted to knit that sweater, so I'm off to get some Cash Iroha :-)

it's perfect! Very flattering. I think it's a good idea to knit sweaters a bit small to ensure a good fit. | |
