Before cold weather comes, I quickly made one final warm-weather sweater. It's a short sleeved top with a drapey sort of cowl neck, and it has a side tie at the waist. It was featured on the Knitscene magazine cover of the
Winter/Spring 2011 issue, and I've wanted to make it ever since. My mom, a newer knitter, made it as her first sweater, and it was a wild success, so I just had to have one of my own! I also had a Groupon coupon to
Sit 'n Knit, a local yarn shop, so I was able to buy the
Bebe Cotsoy yarn I used at a discount. It's a very wearable soft 50/50 blend of soy and organic cotton. I love how it turned out! It's soft and drapey and comfortable. It didn't take too long either; I finished it in about three weeks.
