Raglan sweater finished and new project!

At last the raglan sweater is finally finished having had to extend the length. It just needs another steam to help the stitches set a bit more, but other than that it is DONE!!!

Hope you all like it.



I have also this weekend started my next project on the Bond - finally a jumper for me to wear! It is going to be a saddle shoulder sweater as I have never made one before, so it is quite exciting to see how it turns out. I decided to put a cable design up the sleeves and along the saddle patch.

Here are the sleeves:



Here is a close up of the cable pattern design I chose to use:



I am hoping the sweater turns out really well. Ive also done it slightly larger than I would normally make for myself as I want this to be more of a comfy fit sweater for the winter.

Just the back and front to do now!

Thats all for now

Happy knitting everyone!

    The finished sweater looks great. Is is a machine washable yarn? I always find that washing and tumble drying helps a lot . The stitches seem to always go nice and straight after a wash.

    The saddle shoulder sweater is looking good too. Great job on the cable.

    Everyone is so much more prolific with their knitting than I am. Hopefully I will speed up in time.
