A gallery has been in the planning stages before I even made my first post. Its gone from I will complete my gallery before I start blogging to I'll get to it when I get to it. So now I have decided to just do it one project at a time and maybe I won't feel so overwhelmed by the process.
So here it goes.
I love this sweater and the relaxed comfy fit and the fact that it was knit all in one piece from front to back. I thought it looked easy to knit and decided to just go for it missing the "worked in once deceptively simple piece" in the brief description. Sometimes overlooking details works out. If I had known what I was getting into I would have not attempted it, but I am so glad I did.
Here's the neck opening and the cable.

Love the pattern pic; I may need one in blue, too.

A seam dream.

FYI: I am starting my gallery with some knits from last year. This is not a recently completed knit. I wish I could knit that fast, lol! I'll have to note completed 2003 on entries that have specs for knits completed prior to blog creation. I just want to include pattern notes, etc. in an entry in case I want to refer back to a particular pattern or modify it in the future.

You must be the world's fastest knitter. I swear you have a new FO nearly every day! The sweater looks fab on you.

I love your sweater. Green is very becoming on you. This sweater is on my wish-list. I'm bumping it up to make it this year - I hope :)

Gallery tip: Take your photos as you complete your projects even if you don't add the pic to the gallery right away. Works for me.

I have the same gallery issues! I guess it just takes time. BTW, you inspired me - I did a bit of work on Anouk this weekend. Come check it out!

Hi Froggy! I love the sweater, it looks so confy! I have subscribed to Interweave Knits now, too, so I am looking forward to getting new ideas.

Posted by: Marta at June 21, 2004 11:18 AM

Yes, the color is great and very froggy-like. Heh heh. Looks like a great, comfy sweater!

It looks fabulous! Wonderful color and the perfect thing to wear with jeans. It looks roomy enough to wear over tops, too.

I'm intrigued by the interesting construction. How cool it looks all spead-eagled with its need for minimal finishing on the blocking board.

Love that green! I made this in brown Lion Brand T&Q in dark brown and it looked a little, well, bearish on me. But yours looks great.

Great sweater! Wonderful job. The color is great!
Your projects are all very nice. :)
