A while ago I decided I would like to knit myself a sweater. After searching high and low, I didn’t find anything that really captured my attention, and that would go with the lovely yarn that I had. I started with two skeins of JulieSpins 435 Silky Fingering in Polar Night. I got this yarn in a swap on Ravelry a few years ago, and I haven’t really known what to do with it, to show off all the different colours and shades in this yarn.
Combining the two, I thought it would be nice to let the yarn shine with a stockinette body. This way, the depth of the colours in hand dyed yarn like the yarn from JulieSpins can really be shown to its full advantage.
The sweater is, as you can see, not finished yet. But I’ve knit a large portion of the body. The yoke and chest portion is knit in Polar Night, and the waist is a contrasting Cerise colour. I think it brings out some of the purple from the Polar Night.
I’m looking forward to finishing the sweater and getting to wear it. Now that it’s snowing outside and winter is coming closer, I think it would be wonderful to warm up in this sweater.
