Needs to be washed so the white pattern lays flat, but besides that my first lopapeysa-style sweater is done!

Last selfie with my fierce kitty phone, better make it a good one!

I'm loving how this sweater knit up.  Just need to block and sew in those ends and I'm done!

Instagram screenshots to commemorate the moment Dianna Walla found out we exist.  We are on the map!

Blocking.  Almost done!!

I'm getting close enough to the end that I can't stop knitting.  Whenever I sit down to knit I think I can finish the whole thing -- I dream of binding off.  You know how that is!  I just want to wear my beautiful new sweater!

This is my first time with color work, so I'm just hoping I got the tension correct.  I think it looks like it will work out.  The pattern is so beautiful, and switching yarns feels meditative.

Sundottir!

I think this is the one!  You won’t believe it, but they had Sundottir at Knit Purl also, and I got to try it on.  Not just any Sundottir, but the one in the photo!  The famous one!  I was starstuck by a sweater. 

It’s so beautiful on.  I knew you would trump all my silly tenty sweater ideas. Sundottir is so classic and flattering on our body type. 

I think we should do it.  

Love,

Michele -

This may sound ambitious, but I've had my eye on Dianna Walla's Sundottir (for Brooklyn Tweed's Wool People 6) for, like ever.

Pros:

a) I want to learn colorwork. b) It's gorgeous. c) So wintery and classic!

Cons:

a) Harder than what we've done so far. b) Shelter is expensive. c) ... I don't know any other cons.

Thoughts?

Love,

S
