FO: SO FADED

It took me several months to get around to finishing my So Faded Sweater by Andrea Mowry, but it was worth it! I was able to complete it in time to wear to Stitches West.

This was kind of a boring knit but the end project is worth it! I have worn this a lot and it made me realize that fingering weight sweaters are more appropriate for the mild California weather that I live in. I also really like working on “fades” so I might put together another one, maybe using more yarns to up the interest factor.

The color is kind of blown out here, and this is NOT the most flattering picture of me ever taken (can I stand normal? Can I pose in a natural position? Clearly not. I don’t even look like myself)… but you can definitely see how it fades from pink to purple to grey/black.

I thought this random arm picture was funny – I was trying to show my mom how to take pictures on my phone.

So anyway, I’ve worn it all over. It’s really comfy and I love the colors. I MIGHT make another one with this pattern, but I might also use the fade technique that I learned with another pattern, such as Pavement by Veera Valimaki. We’ll see!
