Show Item complete in 13 days

I have completed the jumper for myself knit for either Albion Park Show or Kiama Show. If I can pick my items up on the Monday after Albion Park Show then I will enter this jumper and other items, if not, then they will be entered in Kiama Show.

Started: Monday 28 December 2009
Finished: Sunday 10 January 2010
Patons Pattern Book "Shadow Tweed" Book 1263
Pattern: No. 13 (lucky number) Cable Yoke Sweater
Yarn: Shadow Tweed - 56% wool, 40% acrylic, 4% viscose - 133m
Colour: 6911
Needles: Addi Turbo Clicks size 7mm (pattern said 6.50mm but I didn't have any)
Amount of Yarn: 7 balls (as stated in pattern)



It was a quick knit as it is probably a 10 or 12 ply yarn, it will be a very warm jumper as it was terribly hot while knitting and having it rest on my lap. I guess you have to expect that knitting it in summer.

You are such a fast knitter, but no wonder you were hot!!! It will be lovely and warm to wear.

It's so cold here this morning, and although I'm still feeling a little unwell so not likely to ge tout of bed much-if I had a sweater like that I'd be motivated!! It's stunning!
