Bernat Style No. 690-66

Finally a picture I feel justifies one of my favorite sweaters. I knit this sweater last year and wear it frequently. Last night I wore this outfit to Reverend Horton Heat at the Metro. Great show!

Here is the picture from the original pattern. One down side of using black is that you can't see the lace detail at the top. It took me about 2 months to finish this sweater although it was not difficult. I've included the pattern below for any of you fellow knitters.

Finished!

I finished my vintage sweater girl pattern and love it! Its still drying at home right now or I would have worn it to work today. The picture below is a better pic in terms of showing the lace detail and true color. I hope that blocking will fix the sleeves from rolling up like they are in these pics.

I so want to order more yarn to start another vintage sweater pattern but know I should wait. Stitches Midwest 2009 is a little more than a week away and I can't wait! I already have plenty of patterns I want to use so this will mostly be a trip to look for yarn. I am looking for yarn for stockings and a hat from Romantic Hand Knits as well as yarn for some other vintage patterns. In the next few days I'll be planning what exactly I want to look for so I don't go buying to much unnecessary yarn!
