Cobblestone Pullover
Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed / 12.5 balls / 43.5 chest size
Size 7 needles
Raveled
I love this sweater! It's been stupidly warm here so he probably won't be able to wear it until we hit Yosemite in May, but I like to cuddle up in it on the couch.
I had a bit of a dyelot issue that I didn't notice until I started photographing it. Oh well. Let's just hope he never gets photographed in this thing.
One word of advice is to reinforce the neck. Both M and I thought it was way too floppy and loosy-goosey, even though I followed the directions to a T. I wove some heavy elastic through it a few times and it made it much more to our liking.
The sleeves turned out too long for his tastes (damn Silkroad Tweed grows like CRAZY), so he's going to fold them up for now.
