A Knitting Affair

First FO of 2007



Hold onto your hats people. There is a finished object. Your eyes are not deceiving you. Let me present to you all …

finished emerald
Emerald by Amy Swensen.
Knitty Winter 2006″Esperanza”
70% lambswool, 30% alpaca
One 8 oz. skein – 280 yards (sweater quantity is 5 skeins) but I used just under 4.

Started: December 20, 2006
Finished: January 13, 2007
Bulky weight – 3-3.5 St/in.
Needle size: US #10.5
Color: Clara Barton

I had initially hoped to get this sweater done in time for the holidays for my mom. It did not happen. However, it was done in less than a month AND it is actually complete. Right down to the sewing on of the button. Since one of my goals this year is to have a FO a month this definitely counts. I will be knitting this sweater again for me in Sheep Shop 2 yarn. But I won’t be starting it until I finish the green cardi I’m working on.
