off the needles
Sweater finish and blocked. The yarn is Iron Horse which is 75% Merino and 25% silk fingering. I bought it at the Polka Dot Sheep in Montana last summer the color is Crystal Park. It was wonderful to handle so soft and it feels even better on I may never take it off. The pattern is Anker's Sweater by PetitKnit. I knit it on size 7 needles. I started this pattern last summer using 2 strands of fingering of leftover yarns on smaller needles like the pattern said and it was going to be uncomfortably snug. So I ripped and put the yarn and the pattern away. Then I started this yarn with a different pattern and did not like the fit so I revisited this pattern since the gauge was right I also went up a size, it was only 4 more cast on stitches, and love it. Now to concentrate on the Christmas knitting. --Ann--
