compliments


i got a compliment on my jumper today, that's right it's a jumper, not a sweater or a shirt, a jumper, i'm in london.

normally this is not something worth noting, but since i knitted this jumper (yeah, i said it again) with very expensive wool, even some mohair! it is pretty awesome that it was noticed and appreciated by someone who didn't even know that i spent hours and hours crafting this particular jumper with my own two hands.

    I could never say jumpers without thinking of corduroy dresses worn over turtlenecks by elementary school art teachers.

    Your sweater, however, is BEAUTIFUL. I'm very impressed. How long have you been knitting?

    i think i officially started in 2002 or 2003, probably 2003. this pattern is actually really easy it just uses an interesting yarn combination three strands of worsted weight held together for two rows and then one strand of lace weight for the next two rows and so on throughout, it gives it a lacy and complicated look. it also makes it very very soft!

    thank you for the compliment as well!
