WooHoo!!!

Let's start celebrating.......................... Sam's Christmas Sweater 2010 Joe's Christmas Sweater 2010           The last of the Christmas sweaters are complete! I'm blocking them now and they will soon be in the mail and then under a tree. Pattern: Wonderful Wallaby with a Western Sea by A&J Starmore flair Yarn: Cascade 220 in Ecru           Plymouth Classic Wool in Denim Needle Sizes: US size 6, US size 8 What can I say…I LOVE this pattern! This time I’ve added a Gansey pattern from A&J Starmore’s book The Children’s Collection (The pattern is: Western Seas). I began with a tunic bottom, knit the lower border pattern from the Starmore pattern rather than ribbing and then attached the front and back of the body adding the charted pattern points in the round. When knitting the sleeves, I knit 4 inches short of attaching the sleeve to the body and then repeated the Gansey pattern....
