OK so as promised here is Ingenue too. If you recall back in the fall I made myfirst version of this sweater which I love. The colors are a bit flashy on it and I wanted a more subtle one. So I grabbed up some Classic Elite Waterlilly and started.
So the stats:
Pattern: Ingenue from Custom Knits by Wendy Bernard I knit the 40" bust (and of course threw in a few short rows for the bust.
Needles: Size 8 knit picks options
Yarn: 12 skeins of Classic Elite waterlilly which is a wonderful yarn! so soft and springy. I started out with 8 skeins of this yarn, and quickly realized that that wouldn't be enough. So I ordered 2 more, and as I was nearing the end of the body I needed to order still two more! I started to panic a bit because 1. I didn't swatch and 2. because I didn't swatch I didn't wash my swatch & I worried that the sweater was going to turn out gigantic when I washed it, but nope all was fine!
I was relieved!
Can't you tell? Raveled here!
I (almost) can't wait for fall so that I can wear it! It is now neatly stored away awaiting it's official debut!
