The Lazy Weekend Sweater

Readers, the third in my series of weekend sweaters, all knitted from my (seemingly never decreasing!) stash.  This one is Nikhol Lohr's design, knitted from the remains of a value ball of Windermere Aran in tweedy, flecked cream.  It's a free pattern on Ravelry.

I love it, although it is more fitted than I anticipated, and I lengthened the sleeves and bottom by a few rows each, as I am tall.  I decided not to do the hood as I thought it wouldn't suit the fit, and it got it's first outing last weekend, with a dark denim skirt, black slip ons and subtle red lipstick, for a slightly vintage vibe.


So - the hoodie that I thought this would be remains yet to be done, although I am very happy with this result!
