...a finished sweater!
It took me just under a month to knit this cabled pullover for Liat. I got the pattern as a bonus inside the summer 2009 issue of Simply Knitting (a British magazine), which I bought at Borders.
The pattern was a disaster, full of mistakes and very unclear. If you are on Ravelry, you can find my detailed notes on the knitting of this sweater in my Projects (my name there is amysamin).
In spite of my frustration with the pattern, I love the finished product. I changed the pattern in a couple of ways, including using a thicker yarn (Cotton Ease) than called for, and making both the body and sleeves longer. Those belly-baring sweaters are SO last year, know what I mean?
Now, I wonder how far I can get on the next sweater Liat has requested before she leaves for Poland next month?

You are such a good knitter Amy.
What a beautiful sweater on a beautiful girl - and it speaks to your knitting prowess that you figured out a pattern full of mistakes. :)
You are so lucky to have her request sweaters from you...
