Tonight I am sharing Mary's masterpiece sweater, which totally bowled me over. First of all with the colors. I marvel at her ability to put these colors together in such a pleasing manner. The right combinations of dark and light and bright and subtle.
In addition to all that, the shaping is flawless, the neckline and placket where the buttons go perfectly coordinate with the rest of the striping.
Not too baggy and not too fitted. Just right to go over a turtleneck or blouse.
Sweater perfection. That's what this is.
Bravo Mary!
Amazing work, Bravo Mary! Thanks for sharing Carol!

Beautiful sweater but that great smile is what sets it off beautifully. Way to go Mary!

Takes a person with vision to choose so many disparate colors and combine them in just the right way. One of my top 10 ever hand knits - Bravo, Mary!

Thanks for the kind words, Carol! It was a fun way to combine yarns I had acquired at different times. I used a "color evaluator," translucent red or green plastic strips, to make sure the colors I put together had enough contrast in value.
