Cabled Sweater

I introduced this dog sweater on the needles in an earlier post. It’s a Drops Design pattern and I finished it today!

    I used Drops Nepal yarn — a 65% wool/35% alpaca mix — in a wonderful warm orange. The pattern uses Karisma yarn, which is a lighter weight, but I decided to do a chunkier version. I’m so happy with how it has turned out (so is little jrt).

#soakphotochallenge Day 20: Favorite Project… I don’t really have a ‘favorite’ project because my inner perfectionist doesn’t allow it, but this #handspun Springtime Bandit was a labor of love. This was attempt number 3 and is a symbol of my growth as a knitter and the power of perseverance. #defeatisnotanoption #igknitters #igspinners #knitting #shawl
