Sweater and color magic

I made a real yoked sweater with two different colors! Level up indeed! And I liked doing it!



My God, who would have thought... I hated doing color work, and I didn't do big projects because I tend to get bored. But this sweater rocked it all the way :)

It is Paper Dolls by Kate Davies. It is worked in the round and the body part is so easy it can be doing while in transit, in work meetings and while waiting. And then the dolls part comes, and it is so much fun I did it in three evenings!  The yarn is the uberpretty Dream in color starry, and yes it has glitter in it! Me likes glitter :p The color combo has a certain "delfts blauw" feeling to it, so I will wear it proudly, and the girls seem to have "klompen" (clogs) on their feet, I'm a proud Dutchie...



And look at the back: even that is pretty!



And I made one boy with huge feet. He doesn't know which one of the girls is his girlfriend, there are so many to choose from :) Maybe one day he will know, and then I will let you know okay?


And let me tell you.. this sweater is comfortable! Yum yum yum, worth every stitch in it.

  1. That is amazing :) the colours are just perfect and agree that they have clogged feet. I've only recently discovered to delight of stranded colour work and I am loving it :)
