FO: Cobblestone Sweater
I actually finished this sweater over a month ago, but I made Matt wait until closer to his birthday to see it!
Project Details:
Pattern: Cobblestone Sweater by Jared Flood
Yarn: Peace Fleece DK weight yarn, Sheplova Mushroom, 5 skeins
Needle Size: Size 7 Denise circulars
Pattern Modifications: None!
Time to knit: August 2007 - September 2007
Final impressions: The yarn is a little bit scratchy, but it makes a nice knit fabric that is really warm. (Oh, and the yardage is amazing!) I think the final product fits Matt well. I did some weird bind-off that makes the neck a little inflexible, but he says it's fine once it's on. I'm already thinking about Matt's next sweater - knitting it all in the round really makes it go fast!

That is a great pattern and you did it justice! Matt looks so happy in his new sweater and the color is perfect for him.

It looks wonderful on him! Great job. I also finished a Cobblestone for my husband. Pics on my blog. It's a perfect pattern for a guy, eh?

The sweater looks like it fits Matt very well. The color is so pretty. He's one lucky guy.

It turned out great! I agree the yarn is a bit scratchy but I hope it softens up with some washing.

Matt's cobblestone sweater looks great.

Your husband is a lucky guy. This is the first Cobblestone I've seen in a color other than beige or brown. It's very very becoming!
My poor husband has given up on his Cambridge Jacket ;)

Fabbo! I am working on my husband to try to gently encourage him into choosing this pattern for his next sweater!

It really is a fabulous sweater, and it looks great on M! I like knitting for my husband too - I am thinking about his next sweater... maybe it should be this one ;)

Okay, I have to get you to help me pick a sweater pattern. I have tried knitting two, wasted hundreds of dollars, and for the life of me cannot seem to get the hang of sweaters. Darn it!
That is just lovely. Good for you Z!
