I've been digging through my stash lately, and looking for a project for a sweater for myself. Decided to do this oversized cardigan with Linie 146 Montana yarn that I bought from
elann years ago. It calls for 19 balls of yarn which should really put a dent in the stash in one of my large Rubbermaid bins. All these old sweater patterns were enormously sized and called for a lot of yarn, including a couple of Rowan projects I have stashed away. Imagine if I just finished off a few of them; why there would be room for all the new stuff I have bought in the last year! Here's the sweater I'm working on:
And here's a picture of the yarn and an enlarged picture of the pattern, which I think could really work well with other types of variegated yarn:
I think it's going to look great with jeans and will get alot of use up here near Lake Tahoe. Have a great weekend everybody! It's Fiber Friday, check out what others are up to on

That looks like it's going to be one cozy sweater!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great color. My problem now is where to put all the sweaters after I move them out of stash. Guess it's a good problem to have.
ReplyDeleteI'm hosting UFO meeting in March. Hope you can come!
Oooh, I think that's going to be super in that yarn, and I'd wear it over jeans as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment about my box - it's truly appreciated.
19 balls of yarn?!? Yowza!
ReplyDeleteI think this project will be fun to watch. :-)
That is a gorgeous pattern ... looking forward to the WIP!
ReplyDeleteLooks to be toasty warm -- lots of trapped air in all that lovely texture.
ReplyDeleteMakes me think perhaps I should pull out one of my well-aged bulky sweater jacket projects. I love the idea that you can seriously bust some stash at the same time!
oooh, LOVE the pattern and that yarn being used.
ReplyDeleteYou should be nice and toasty. The yarn is lovely!
