future object
Isn't she lovely? This sweater invokes slow nighttime walks along quiet stretches of beach. A very serene image indeed. This design is #11 from Vogue Knitting's spring/summer 2005 issue. This particular color of yarn seems to be sold out where ever I look, but no matter, it comes in lots of other colors too. What I don't like is the fact that the yarn is dry clean only. That is a phrase that usually doesn't exist in my world. Trendsetter Yarns Spiral (acrylic/polyamide) in #96 aqua. Anyone have any suggestions for a non dry cleaning substitute yarn?
I haven't been doing much knitting lately. I also still haven't gotten to the laundromat to felt my bags. Its been a very long week and its only Wednesday!

That's a beauty! I need to wander through the pages of that issue again soon...
I am very intrigued by this one as well...but I am not sure my skills are up to the challenge! Do you think you'll make it? I will try and think of good subs and send them your way!
That one is cool. I Like that it has a hood. I really like the sleeves also. I would agree with Lauren and maybe try to find a cotton substitute.
I'm planning on doing this design too, but like you I'm looking for another yarn.Mostly because it is hard to get the original yarn here in Sweden. Maybe a blend of cotton and microfibre would be the best, I think the draped lace hem might get too heavy in a 100% cotton yarn...
