my favorite knit

Bells in Australia posted a picture of her favorite knit and suggested we do the same. Good idea!

This is the cable sweater I designed and knit for Master Knitter's Certificate. It's got some clever details to it. I had to put in bobbles, but I hate bobbles, so I put in fourteenm bobbles - seven on each sleeve in the warrior princess armbands. The sweater is knit from bottom front, over the shoulders, and down to the bottom back. The collar is knit in garter stitch as part of the shoulder fronts. The sleeves are picked up along the sides of the front/back piece and knit down to the cuffs.

I had to reverse the cables when I went over the back,so the side seams make a pretty horseshoe. Clever me!

I always try to put XO cables in every cable sweater I make because I love to give hugs and kisses. It was fun to set the three of them on a half drop so they tuck together nicely. And I put in the garter stitch ladders next to the cables to help me keep track of my rows. It's so easy to count garter stitch.

I named this sweater, "Little Nell." It was so virginally vanilla. But it was so much fun to knit that I did it over in color.

I call this one, "Intarsia, Warrior Knitter!"
