It feels like I finished this a really long time ago. it has taken me two weeks to show you the finished jumper - and it only took a week to knit! I'm not sure why the delay. This is Elizabeth Zimmerman's Seamless Yoke Sweater. Now that I've got the hang of how she writes her patterns, they seem so simple and straighforward. I remember the first one I knit though. So stressful. This was extremely relaxing.
I wasn't sure that a plain yoke would be nice, but I just love how it looks.
This was knit in stunning yarn from the Great Ocean Road Woolen mill, and the pattern really lets the yarn shine.
It was a quick (very quick, it only took a week) and very pleasant knit. I'm really happy with the fit, and Leon seems very happy wearing it through this coldest part of winter. A bit of a win all around. I loved the yarn so much I might make Leon's winter set out of it. Minimally processed, maximimumly local and just delicious.
We walked down to St Kilda Beach on a grey afternoon to take these photos. There is nothing like bot being allowed more than 5 kilometres from ones home to make me grateful for living so near beautiful places.
