I’m hardly ever wishing for cold weather, despite having an arsenal of sweaters. Right now I’m longing for temperatures with a wee bit more chill. Hovering around the 50’s and 60’s Fahrenheit would really be my cup of tea. That’s good playing outdoor weather and is just barely sweater weather. I’m at least ready to wear this Carpino.
I used Cascade 220 Fingering in Olive Oil. I have almost 6 full skeins left out of the 10 I purchased since I wasn’t sure if I’d be doing a larger project with it. If you’re interested, I’m offloading the rest on Ravelry. I love this color but I can’t imagine having two sweaters in the same color since it’s pretty distinctive.
The raglan shaping is a little more interesting than the standard every other row increases, but definitely not difficult. The lace is four rows and memorizable fairly quickly. I enjoyed knitting this, but towards the end I was ready to move on. I didn’t get a great shot of the back, but it’s all stockinette, so you’re not missing much.
I knit the 39″ chest. I’m really missing my pre-baby bust size. Nursing is a fabulous thing that I’m not longing to end anytime soon, but I miss the days of a less ample bust line. I am often struggling to pick a sweater size that will look good on me now and later when the rest of the baby weight and baby-related bust have gone away. Up next is Keaton!
That sweater is absolutely gorgeous! Great work!
It looks beautiful! The colour really suits you. 🙂 I think it’s a cool thing that you’re breastfeeding, and I’m sure all will be “back to normal” later. 😉 Have a wonderful autumn!
Lovely color! Makes me wish I could wear a pullover but unless we travel, fingering weight cardigans it is.
I’m a sucker for that color! Beautiful product, and post!
It is gorgeous, Cassy. Pretty photos. Impressed you finished this and your brothers sweater with two kiddos!
This is a beautiful sweater Cassie, and this color looks very good on you.
I love autumn as well – in that sweater is just adorable, the color is great!

it’s so beautiful!! Looks fantastic on you, and I’m sure it will still look amazing post-baby nursing, too! I hear you on knitting sweaters and adjusting for the bustline like that, my bustline changed very dramatically this pregnancy, and I’m not sure what it’s going to be like once the dust settles. Makes me reluctant to commit to pullovers.
This is gorgeous! The color is really, really nice on you.
How can you just be so productive? Wow!
Really pretty my mom knits alot so I can appreciate it! love the color too 🙂
