sneak peek: off the needles, indefinitely


off the needles, indefinitely
i've finally finished the bat-wing  sweater (vintage inspired mix of 40s & 80s knit wear), in a final fourth version knit, now i'm wondering should i knit a shorter version of this cropped, for those brave lot?

edited to add:  the wool is a luxurious merino thick & thin spun creme, that is unbelievably soft worn right next to the skin & also is dyed naturally.
i'm shipping this off to brooklyn  soon, so how it looks on & also soon to the shop for pre-orders, as the wool on these items (including the merino wool for the bra/halters is limited & must be ordered). also knitting up some more pembroke like tanks of this merino wool, only the openings will be less exposed, which is also perfect for everyone.

  3. Wow, looks great! Love the effect from mixing a chunkier yarn with a thinner one.

  4. The cropped jumper is so beautiful - I'm a crocheter and constantly wish I could get the hang of knitting, there is just so much more versatility. I love your armchair too :)

  8. thanks for all the supportive comments!
    the wool is merino wool from Uruguay that is spun thick & thin, its unbelievable soft next to the skin, & is hand dyed naturally.
    also the sweater is not short, & won't bare your belly, its the perfect length i think. so its for everyone.
