Out with the old and an FO

And in with the new... fireplace screen, that is.


The old:


The naked...

The new:


In use:



Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Where's the hot chocolate?


Here is hubby in his finished Cobblestone:



The yarn is Sirdar Country DK and the gauge was 22 sts = 4" so I had to fudge the numbers for a size that fit. I think it came out pretty well. Whew. There was a lot of stockinette but the short row shaping held my interest.

I think Jim will stay warm and I hope you do too.

The sweater looks great, and it looks like it fits him perfectly! And I love the new fireplace too!

I'm late commenting. The new screen is nice, but the Cobblestone is outstanding. The color is beautiful, and you did a great job with both the pattern and the fit. Happy Nutcracker!
