Finally, Aidez


I cast on this sweater as part of the Aidez KAL hosted by celticcaston, 
but I just got majorly distracted by, well, life I guess. 
I'm glad my mojo finally decided to grace me with its presence again because it's finally done.
i.love.this.sweater.

I knit mine in Malabrigo Worsted, colorway Vaa.
It's difficult to capture the color properly, but I like to think of it as a sea monster colorway. 
My seaming was quite wonkified, esp. in the neck area. 
But hey, no one is coming at me with a magnifying glass or anything.
Super helpful Helpful seaming tutorial by Kelly of celticcaston
Pretty front panel. 
I'm such a dork but i love how the ktbl (knit through the back loop) stitches really set off the cables.
The sweater was knit with zero ease for me and as you can see the sleeves are a bit long. However, this adds yet another cozy element to the sweater.
I never want to take it off.
If I had a fireplace, this would be the sweater to curl up in, read my book, and drink the mommy juice. ha.
Check out all the lovely Aidez that were knit up as part of the KAL here. And thank you Kelly for hosting, even though I'm months late in saying so!

  6. Your Aidez is making e feel knitter's ADD. I want to do too many things at once! It really is lovely, especially in the malabrigo. I'll make note of the tutorial for when I finally have a chance to try this.
