A Finished Sweater!

I finished up Order and Chaos yesterday after I popped the turkey in the oven! I gave it a quick steam blocking and then spent the rest of the day wearing it. I'm just loving it. It totally works for what I had hoped - as an easy layer to toss on around the house when I get chilly and it looks so much better than the huge, ratty hoodie I had been wearing (think bag lady chic). I will have Mickael take a picture of me wearing it later, but right now I'm still running around with crazy hair and pajamas, so no picture right now.

All the details if you care: Order and Chaos from Inspired Cable Knits by Fiona Ellis. Knit in Knitpicks Sierra Mist. (Mist is the colorway. This is still cracking me up.) I knit the smallest size which is a 40 inch finished chest size I think. I modified a couple of things from the pattern though. I added back neck shaping (the pattern has the back neck straight across) and instead of doing sleeve increases on the RS (which would have been in Reverse Stockinette Stitch), I did the increases on the WS in Stockinette Stitch because I was too lazy to look up how to increase in purl stitches. This really was a pretty fast project. Bulky yarn works up quickly. I love how cuddly the sweater is - its just the right weight to really snuggle into. At this point I don't think I'm going to add a button to the front, I like the way it hangs without one, and if I get really cold I can always close the sweater with a pin.
