WIP Wednesday: New Fall Sweater

1

I started a new sweater this week!

Imperial WIPadore it so far (to the point where I’m having to restrain myself from dropping everything else and just working on it 24/7). The yarn, Imperial Columbia, is so luscious that I’m already contemplating buying another sweater’s worth. It’s rustic-looking, but incredibly light and soft. And at a gauge of 4 sts/in, this is working up really quickly.

Here’s what I’m thinking the sweater’s going to look like. 3/4 sleeves with a fat cable, slight waist shaping, and a scoop-neck with garter edging:

As you might have noticed, I’ve been on a garter stitch edging kick recently. It’s just so squishy and awesome!

    Looks lovey! There is just nothing quite like squishy garter stitch. The design concept is great, can’t wait to see how it turns out.
