Over the summer I finished knitting two short sleeved
cardigans ~ this is my favorite of the two:
I salvaged the super-soft sport weight wool yarn from a Goodwill sweater,
which apparently I never photographed
before ripping apart.
It is a great summer sweater and also works well
with a long-sleeved t-shirt underneath.
Don't you love Drops free patterns?
... and I see
they have a long-sleeved pullover version
as well...
Deb
wow ... I so admire your amazing creativity.
ReplyDeleteIts Beautiful... I really love it! Looks so soft.
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful and it is a frugal sweater too since you've crafted it with "old" wool. Sadly, I don't think it would suit my larger form though it looks beautiful on you.
ReplyDeleteDeb so sharp! Is that the February girl sweater?
ReplyDeleteI love your sweater!! VERY nice!
ReplyDeleteWow... it's Madeline Tosh's Tea Leaves Cardigan, which I'm working on right now. I wonder which came first? Wish I'd known about this free one...
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!! Plus you wear it well!
ReplyDeleteI can picture you with a long sleeve tee under your sweater, drinking a cup of tea, and being so proud of your creation.
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteI have the long sleeved cardigan version planned with wool at the ready if I can find the time to start it. I have made many Garnstudio patterns and I love them all.
I can't hardly believe you made it from a old sweater you took apart.
ReplyDeleteHow great is that!
It looks very nice.
That is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have never knitted a sweater for an adult...I would like to, though, one day! :) You do wonderful work!
Cute sweater! And it looks comfortable. I need to get back to knitting but have lost a bunch of weight and am waiting to get closer to my goal so I'll know what size to knit. Hate to go to a lot of work and have something I can't wear very long. Thanks for sharing your work with us. It's very inspiring!

Love love LOVE the sweater! I keep trying to convince myself that it is time to "graduate" to knitting sweaters...even went so far as to buy the yarn....it is sitting in my yarn cubby laughing at me as I knit wristwarmers and dishcloths instead!
ReplyDeleteDeb, the sweater is lovely, well done, glad to hear it's thrify too!
ReplyDeleteI bet it looks great with a long sleeved tee, Claire
OK-- I'm lusting after this--- too cute....great colors too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sweater! Thank you for letting me know about Drops, really appreciate it.
ReplyDeletePerfect fall sweater. I love the idea of wearing a long sleeve tee underneath. Just adorable.
ReplyDeleteLove the colour wool you've chosen for your sweater Deb ~ it turned out beautifully! Thanks also for the Garnstudio link - I had a quick look and spotted quite a few things I want to make :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks also for the apple and pear breakfast custard recipe link - want to make that too :-)
Have a great weekend Deb ♥
Oh, so beautiful - to make the time... and I think it is so neat how it is recycled wool yarn.
ReplyDeleteWhat a BEAUTIFUL sweater! I love the pattern and the color! So, very talented and gifted you are! Thanks for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteThat sweater looks great and yes I love the Drops free patterns:-)
