My test knitter for my original sweater design-Lil' Charlee's Sweater- finished the larger size and it came out perfect. Their was only one mistake in the pattern which was easily fixed. I really like the yarn: Lamb's Pride Wool/Mohair Blend. I chose these colors because they were more "masculine" and I wanted to demonstrate that the sweater is really a unisex design. The bias stitch pattern is one of my favorites to knit and the welt in garter as opposed to purl is what really makes the sweater stand out. The very top picture shows the blocked yellow/brown version which is size 2-4 and the as yet to be blocked larger version in size 6-8. This picture was taken before blocking, which you can see I did in the bottom pictures. I would like to submit this design for publication but having only two sizes may not be desirable, so I will need to get some opinions from publishers. If any of you readers have an opinion as to whether I can publish successfully in only two sizes or not, please comment below. If you wish to download this pattern, please see the link under "Free Patterns" in the sidebar. Thanks. Next, I am going to talk about modular knitting or multidirectional knitting and one of my favorite knitters. ;)
