Finished: Stripey Buttony Cardigan
This is a warm and cozy one, for sure. Icelandic wool (purchased in Iceland!) will do that. You know what else it'll do? Require layering. Wow, that's some itchy yarn.

I've always wanted to make that pattern. Sadly, I still have a Fitted Knits WIP waiting for me to finish the arms, so starting a new sweater isn't gonna happen any time soon. I'll be thrilled to find time to work on a hat!
For what it's worth, Buttony is fantastic TV knitting (or multitasking knitting in general).
Which Fitted Knits sweater is it?
Does it breath or will you probably have to wait until winter again to get to wear it? It looks heavy.
Icelandics were the sheep we entertained getting, but decided against because, well, we don't spin! And it's such an overcoat type/weight we didn't think it would be as popular for just selling as raw fleece. And now we don't want sheep at all, so there. :D
Justin: it certainly isn't a summer sweater! I cab probably use it a bit longer, especially in weekends if I'm outside and I'd otherwise wear a jacket.
Crow: I don't spin either (and I can't start! got enough hobbies as it is...). If I had a farm with critters for fiber, though, I would definitely go with angora bunnies instead of sheep: adorable and space-saving. (Though I did LOVE the sheep we drove by outside of Reykjavik.)
I know I'm a few days behind -- but wow, that sweater is pretty much adorable. Wish I had your knitting skillz.
Oh, compliments are welcome at any time. :) Thanks, Katie!
That sweater is beautiful, even if a bit itchy! :) You have a knitting gift
Thanks so much, Made of Sun and Farmer Jo! :)
