FO: Stripes

Oh my, I can't believe more than two months have already passed. This whole thesis-writing-thing really cuts into my knitting/blogging time.

It has been a while since I've managed to convince my housemate to take pictures of all my knitwear, so I have a backlog of 4 jumpers and some other stuff to blog about. I could spam you with them all at once, but because I won't have much time to knit and photograph for another week or two, I'll spread them out. (For the truly curious, all pictures are already on my Ravelry page)

First up is the one that has been waiting for photographs for the longest. I already finished this in February.

Yarn: Malabrigo Sock (ca. 1,6 skeins of Lettuce, 0,8 skeins of Eggplant and 0,8 skeins of Natural)
Needles: 3mm
Pattern: None - or if there's enough interest maybe eventually my own.

I absolutely adore this jumper, it is nice and warm but not too hot. I knit it in the round from the bottom up with seamless set-in sleeves and a steek for the neckline. It was dreadfully scary to steek a yarn like Malabrigo, because it is quite slippery, but I handstitched a couple of layers around the edges. So far, it has survived a few trips through the washing machine with no signs of loosening up.

I really want to make another one with only two colours - perhaps a way to use up two of my single skeins of Wollmeise?
