We're headed to Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival today for the weekend. It's appropriate to put this picure up today since I knitted practically the entire sweater in the bus last year on the way to and from last year's festival. It's a 5 hour bus ride each way and our local guild arranges a trip almost every year. 10 hours is a lot of knitting time and I always like to pick a different NEW project. This year my husband and I are going by car and meeting friends and spending the weekend. Since I help with the driving, I won't have as much knitting time, but you know I'll share what have have done when I get back. The forcast is rain but I know we will have a great time.
The yarn used in the sweater shown is Universal's Classic Tapastry Worsted. They must be very generous with the yardage, because I barely went into the 5th skein and used an additional skein for the trim. Less than 1200 yards is sort of impossible for me to make a sweater my size. EXTRA BIG! I wore this most of the winter and everyone loves it. It's one of my favorite as well.. You can recognise the neck down pattern by Knitting Pure & Simple.
