I am obsessed with this sweater. LOVE IT! Of course, I did not have the pattern for it as it was published when I started knitting. I refuse to pay $15 for one pattern in a back issue. So, I put a shout out on a knitter's message board & voila'.. Greta came to my rescue.. A big shout out to GRETA "You are the BEST!!"
The pictures in Vogue do not do this sweater justice - really. Can you believe it and it's Vogue. The Premier fashion magazine, Fashion Bible, etc.. crappy color, crappy pictures (in my opinion, of course). Now, I just have to figure out what color to knit it in first. I want red, burnt orange, taupe, gray, and I am sure there are a few more colors as well.
The sweater pictured was made using Malabrigo. One of my all time favorite yarns, soft, warm great colors choices and yardage BUT it pills - pills terribly. On a sweater it would be even worse but I still want that color. So, I am on the search. I wonder if Deb at my favorite LYS has any suggestions. Anyway, I will post my own pics as soon as I knit up my very own but until then here is my inspiration. Pictures from Veronique.
