My knitting has been fairly sporadic as of late.
But I did manage to finish this sweater for the Winter season!
The pattern is the Gibson Ruffle Blouse from Fabel Knits and it caught my eye as I have been drawn to more Victorian inspired designs as of late.
The pattern suggests using a mohair silk blend for the ruffle. I have a bunch of Rowan Kidsilk Haze stashed away, but it wasn't a color match for the wool I had chosen. So I decided to hold two strands together for the entire sweater. This creates a halo effect, which I think ended up looking great.
The knitting was fairly straight forward.
The ruffle didn't end up looking quite as ruffled as the designer's version. I think I followed the instruction correctly, so not sure what happened there . . .
But maybe I prefer it that way?
I'm definitely pleased with how this particular knit turned out. And that's the most important part!
