She was begun in August and finished today, Nov. 4. This pattern is Elesbeth Lavold's Tilia, knit in Hempathy. I used #2 Addis for the entire piece (except the picked up neckband on #0).
I think the fit is pretty good, just feels a little big around the neck.
Mr. Greenjeans is getting close too.....
I am knitting this in Charcoal Cotton Ease on #7 needles. It is fast and seems like it will be cozy and casual for fall. The cable bottom:
It looks wonderful on you!! What a great fit, I had no idea you were knitting it on #2's, now that's commitment (and totally worth it). I'll be interested to know of your experience with greenjeans, I'm very tempted by that knit.
ReplyDeleteYou did a beautiful job on the sweater. The fit is great.

It's gorgeous! I also didn't realize that was all on size 2's. It looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteLovely! The fit is wonderful. I think the neckline looks good on you. (I am totally braindumping the word I'm looking for... what's the word when something looks attractive, compliments the person...argh! I hate it when the word is *right there* but it's still miles away. Maybe starts with an A?)
ReplyDeleteYay! Very flattering sweater on you! I like the scoop neckline too. Wow, size 2's...you are one strong woman! ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job on Tilia! It looks great on you...and dang, that really IS commitment. I have trouble finishing my very basic sweater on much larger needles!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Tilia sweater Ceci - it looks beautiful on you - and the Mr Greenjeans is coming on well too ! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sweater!
ReplyDeleteSize 2s! Wow. It really paid off, though. The sweater is great.
ReplyDeleteHey~
ReplyDeleteTilia is beautiful..the fit and neckline look great!!
Your Mr Greenjeans is cruisin'
Happy knitting.
Wow! That is impressive! Knit on 2's and 0's? The fit is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to start Mr. Greenjeans too. Glad to hear it's "quick" ;-) I don't think I have the attention span for tedious right now.
Ooops... I posted my comment on the wrong day. Tilli looks great on you!
