Details:
- Pattern:
- Lady February Sweater by Pamela Wynne (Ravelry Link)
- Yarn:
- Cascade 220 Heathers in 9452 Summer Sky
- Needles:
- US 8 (5.0 mm), US 10 (6.0 mm)
- Date Started:
- June 22, 2008
- Date Finished:
- July 9th, 2008
- Modifications:
- Flexible sweater design and direction gives you a lot of room to make as you’d like. So, even though I made it mine, there were no mods. However, next time around, I would redistribute my increases so more where up on the chest, and much less in the arms, so that it wouldn’t be so puffy. Lesson learned.
- Will I make it again?
- Very likely! It’s super quick and easy knit. Might make another one in cotton.
I loved knitting this sweater in just about every aspect! Loved the yarn. Cascade 220 in my opinion is everything everyone says it is. It’s great yardage for the price and a lovely yarn with more colour choices than similar yarns in the worsted family. Patons and Ella Rae both are super, but the colours in Cascade appeal more to my liking.
It took nearly two months to find a day not so humid so I could block this one. Crazy. But it’s done, and in time for the Fall. I’m so looking forward to getting more wear out of it. I think it’ll be perfect for layering in class.

Love your sweater, and you look so cute in it!
Wow! Its really cute, although I see what you mean about the raglan shaping. Those decreases don’t really want to be quite so far in, do they? Still a great looking sweater though!
Congrats, it’s a great sweater! I especially love the color!
