FO Friday 1: Idlewood


I finished my Idlewood sweater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think this is the fastest sweater I've ever made. It took me 1 1/2 weeks. Of course the fact that it only used up 3 1/2 skeins of yarn helped but still. I was very pleased with myself.



The sweater was done yesterday morning, just in time to be worn on a snow day. It snowed the whole day yesterday, high temperature was 25 degrees.

I wore it with a black long sleeve t-shirt underneath and it made me feel plenty warm. I love the big cowl that can be sort of a hoodie.

Additional notes: I am using Cascade Yarn 220 Heathers in Cranberry color. You can check out more detail notes on my ravelry project here.


As you can see, I had a lot of fun photographing it this morning.


Up close and personal on the cowl.

    Wow, that is SUPER cute! Would you share a link to the pattern so I can be a geeky fan girl and knit one up, too?

    Paula, thanks for your comment! I just updated the post with the link. Pattern is available on Ravelry. It is not free, but I think it's worth the $, :).

    That turned out really good, Jenn. Your stitches are so neat and perfect. I can see how this would be pretty with a black long sleeved shirt. Congrats on making the deadline for finishing this knitting project :o)

    JayNic, the yarn is Cascade 220 Heathers in Cranberry.

    Hanaa, thanks for the compliments. It is a really easy pattern to do. I'd suggest it for a 1st sweater.

    Mendy, LOL! It is my fault. I should've posted something "knitty" from the get-go and not wait 2 years to do it.

    Jenn, You are so crafty! That sweater is so cute - love the cap sleeves. I have to tell you... I just started knitting again after a three year hiatus. I saw a pillowcase at a shop for 500 bucks. I decided to go buy some yarn and get to work. So satisfying!
