Knitted Sweater

A year ago I purchased some beautiful marino wool yarn to knit a sweater.  This summer I worked on it during our vacation and ran out of yarn.  I was lucky enough to be able to find some more at the yarn shop where I purchased it. For those non-knitters out there, it is very important to be able to use the same dye lot or the finished product might appear to be slightly different shades.

I thought I'd show off the finished sweater.  It is very soft.  I normally can't wear wool next to my skin, but this wool is different.  It doesn't itch and is very comfortable. When the weather turns cold, it will keep me toasty warm.

It's gorgeous! And it really was a blessing to get the same dye lot months later! I'm so glad you can knit again. Still love my sweaters!
