| This is my first sweater ever! I bought the green thick & thin yarn on sale in a clearance basket for only $2.oo. I think it was so cheap because it is such a bright grass green -- It's a little overwhelming. I had intended to make a solid color sweater. Then halfway through the project, I realized I wouldn't have enough, so I bought these two colors of mohair & learned fairisle on-the-fly, to finish the front. I really like the play of textures in the combination of mohair and nubby thick & thin yarn. I'm also pleased with the way the blues tone down and harmonize with the vivid green. One thing I learned about fitting on this project was how I don't like overly dropped shoulders. This was a bit bigger than I expected & for a while, it really bothered me. Now, a year later, I can't remember the preconception I'd had originally, so I like it much better! |
