A Sweater to wear with his Kilt
It took me 2 years and 2 months to complete this hand spun and hand knit Aran for Tom and I finished it last night...finally!!! We talked about it for years, then decided on the pattern and that I would spin the yarn for it as well.
It's a Drops design, not the easiest to follow, but not the worst I've ever tried either!
I spun 5 pounds of natural Ecru Blue Faced Leicester for this sweater and have enough left over to knit...some day soon...a pair of matching kilt hose.
I do believe Tom is pleased with the sweater! I enjoyed the knitting of it but I'm glad it's done and looking forward to knitting the hose-perhaps they'll be done in time for SMHG!
