Good for you! It would make a nice dress. Good luck with it!

Surprise! I love your sweater. I am still knitting mine...and in fact, because it turned out sort of long, and because I have lots more yarn left, I am going to keep going and make a dress. Will post a picture when done...watch this space. LOL

The yarn is not really pilling much and I have hand-washed it. It may be ok in the washer, but I hand wash most knitted items.

Hi Vehuddle,

I was wondering how your yarn is wearing. Is it holding up without pilling and/or is it a washable yarn?

ZassZ:

Hi Vehuddle,

I was just looking thru and came across your sweater pic. I love the way it turned out and the yarn is gorgeous. So glad you had the discontinued yarn - it was just perfect for this project and I love the color.

I think all of the knitters did beautiful work on their sweaters and it was a pleasure to see all the pics everyone put up.

vehuddle:

Thank you! I have worn the sweater several times now and really like it. The sweater was very easy to make and I have thought of making another one sometime.

Oh BessT!,

You did find the pic and this sweater looks very nice with the striping. Love the colors and thank you for your pic. You should do another!

Hi sjc,

Thanks for answering. I did not do the KAL, but I enjoyed looking thru all the pics put up. Glad you are enjoying "both" of your sweaters. I imagine it looks pretty in lavender too.

Hi bess T,

Wow that was quick! That would be great to see the pic and thank you in advance.

I was also wondering if SJC did do another sweater in this pattern in more colors. She mentioned that she was planning to do that. I think the first one was in a blue shade.

Nice to hear back! Here is my completed sweater. I wondered if the variegation would make too wide of bands on the sleeves. I like the changes. I'm looking for yarn to make another

Hi old KAL buddies. I just happened to be at the computer. Yes, I did do a second one but didn't get a pic taken of it. It's done in a color called almost lavender in Classic Elite Portland Tweed. I'd bought the yarn for a sweater in the book "Textured Stitches" then didn't like the pattern. I like it much better in this Lapis Yoke pattern. I love both of them actually and wear them a lot. I remember the blue one was knit in Knit Picks Gloss with two strands held together. It's a deep royal blue. I need to get busy and post pictures on Ravelry, I'm way behind. Nice to hear from you both, this was a really popular knit along and I hope everyone enjoys their sweaters.

Oh my, so you did! I finished it and I've been wearing it *and wearing it* ! I will try to find a finished picture...

Yvonne,

Really lovely color for you and the fit is perfect. I wear mine but it's a little too big. I love it anyway. Congrats on getting it finished, it really is pretty!
