pattern: based on Zimmermann's seamless raglan construction, including the neck shaping on page 74 of Knitting Without Tears. instead of the EPS, upper arms were calculated to measure since i wanted negative ease around the bust but postive ease around the upper arms. body knitted from the bottom up; sleeves top down from provisional cast-ons at the yoke. the sweater was knitted in the round then steeked open as Zimmermann favors, and as i do now. sleeve shaping was trial-and-error.
yarn: four skeins (100 grams) of Araucania Nature Wool in color #03 (100% wool).
Just lovely! One day maybe I will attempt a sweater for myself (a la EZ), hopefully as nice as this!
ReplyDeleteWowzers, that's gorgeous. I have been toying with the idea of treating myself to some Nature Wool for some time and you may have just swayed me.
ReplyDeleteGreat work!
That is really lovely.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those sleeves! Beautiful Sweater.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat's gorgeous, I've been wanting to try a steeked front cardigan since I share EZs distaste for purling.
ReplyDeleteI love how you make the sleeves blossom - do you have your percentages posted? I would be interested in how you calculated that out. Thanks
That is very cute. I love the 3/4 sleeves with the puff at the cuff.
ReplyDeleteSmashing!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my. I love it. The color, the shape, the everything. I want one. Wish I could knit faster. Great sweater!
ReplyDeleteLovely. Did you alternate skeins every few rows with the Araucania Nature Wool? I have a ton of it in my stash and was just wondering if you felt it necessary to alternate to avoid pooling. Thanks for sharing the entire process with us!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful and a great fit on you!
ReplyDeleteOut of this world! You've accomplished one of my goals: to knit a steeked cardigan I really like. Lovely sweater, lovely color, lovely yarn.
ReplyDeletebeautiful fit, and nice call with the bloused sleeve, it really adds character.
ReplyDeleteGreat job and cleean sqeaky steeking.
gorgeous color and fit. wow. makes me want to make one, too!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely cardigan. Colour and fit are great!
ReplyDeleteDaniela
Love the colors. Going to have to chase that yarn down and look at it closer.
ReplyDeleteEZ would be proud how you tweaked it with the various ease to fit you. :)
Beautiful all around -- color, shaping, style, and photos too!
ReplyDeleteoooh! I love this sweater, especially the sleeves. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to attempt an EZ pattern (math scares me) but it sure is tempting, especially after seeing this.
You look great in this seamless raglan!
ReplyDeletei absolutely looooove it!! the sleeves are super fantastic...did the pattern call for those billowy sleeves or did you design them yourself? awesome job!
ReplyDeletethat sweater is so cuite! i love the little poof above each cuff . . .
