Christmas Sweater - after 2 years...







Well - after 2 years of on and off hibernating...the Christmas sweater is finally finished! Well, 99% of it anyway. I still need to find a tapestry needle to sew in the bottom tab of the zipper. It's like hard plastic and I can't get my needle through it. It's knit in Cascade "Venezia" bulky weight yarn (Silk and Wool blend) in the Hot Pepper Red and I absolutely love the yarn. Zipper was another challenge but finally found it at www.zipperstop.com and was very happy with the product and service. Now I need to write up the pattern and get it test knit in both bulky and worsted weight yarn. As soon as I get the tab seamed in better, I'll get a better picture of it.

This sweater is so incredibly beautiful. I think I might make myself one. The zipper adds such pazzaz...
