Kerrera! I made a couple modifications, leaving off the hood (I never wear them and I didn't have enough yarn anyway).
and putting buttons all the way down since the flyaway look is super trendy but a bit breezy.
And I made sewn button loops instead of crocheted, and backed the buttons with buttons since the double garter is a bit flimsy.
(plus, I love buttons and doing this meant that I got to use two of my very favorite ones!)
I finished the sweater (sans buttons) the day before I left for Australia, and I have worn it all day, every day since. I am so glad that I made the trip on many levels, not least because it meant I found some wintertime to appreciate this sweater in. It fits perfectly, the style is so easy and elegant, Gudrun is a genius. 'Nuff said. Thanks to my dad for taking pictures on our last day down under!
Oh how I covet. It is quite scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, I sent you a package!
I've already gushed all over this sweater, so it just remains to be said that I blame you personally for the way I fell down and swiped my credit card at the Plucky Knitter booth with a de-hooded Kerrera's worth of yarn on the line...
ReplyDeleteAs well you should, you will not regret it! That yarn is well worth the falling down for, indeed.
ReplyDeleteI have plans for Kerrera in DIC Classy colorway In Vino Veritas. With full buttons. That would look so much like yours. I knew I liked you and your style!
