A Finished Handspun Pullover!

 

I finished my Niamh pullover.  This was made from my handspun yarn and I loved knitting with it.  Seeing the stripes appear as I knit was so interesting and even though I still can't explain why the sleeve stripes are in the same width range as the body stripes, it was fun to knit.  I followed the pattern exactly, with no modifications.  This was designed by the designer of Ravello and I've knit several of her patterns, so I know from experience they work perfectly for my body type.  This was my first time using the contiguous set in sleeve technique and that was interesting.  I liked it!

The finished pullover is lightweight and soft and should be perfect for fall and winter weather around here.  I think it will work on its own as well as layered when it gets cooler.  I actually want to knit another one of these in dark blue - possibly handspun for that as well.  Someday...
