Colorful Sweater

 

Modeled photo of a top in multicoloured yarn and several stitch patterns knitted side to side

Pattern: my head

Started: May 27, 2009

Finished: September 8, 2009

Made for: Síle aka Me

Yarn: Noro Taiyo Aran (40% cotton, 30% silk, 15% wool, 15% nylon)
  • 5.25 skeins of "Colour 10 Lot A"; 1,155 yds

Needle size: 4.5mm/ US 7

Notes: I love how this turned out!!! There were a couple rough patches along the way (like when I had to frog almost the entire front…) Very proud of it. Wore to dance reg night on 9/08, just hours after doing the seams! 
Just a note that I only used 5 & a bit balls of Noro Taiyo, which was lovely to work with.
