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

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought this random arm picture was funny – I was trying to show my mom how to take pictures on my phone.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a>. We’ll see!<\/p>\n
