A New Sweater

As soon as I finished the Sous Sous pullover I started another sweater.  This one is top down, from a designer whose patterns I've knit before, with a more traditional shaping - so there's no (mostly unnecessary) second guessing on my part.  This is the Keera pullover from Isabell Kraemer.  I'm knitting it in Blue Sky Fibers Extra in the Lei colorway.   The fiber content of the yarn and the feel of it are identical to Berroco Ultra Alpaca.  I haven't compared them side by side (or even the labels) so I don't know if they're the same weight or not.  I've always loved the feel of Ultra Alpaca in my hands while I'm knitting, so it's nice to have a second option with a different color range.

As you can see, the sweater looks pretty simple from the front.

The back has a little more going on!  It's still a simple knit and the lace isn't difficult once you get a few rounds into it so you can see what it's doing.

As it turns out, this is exactly what I need right now because my non knitting life has just gotten crazy.  I'll blog when I can and when I actually have something to show, but I may not be as regular as I try to be around here.
