I didn't blog much about this sweater, but then I haven't blogged much lately period. It is made out of a lovely silk and alpaca yarn...Knit Picks Andean Silk in "Merlin". The pattern is called "Aquitaine." It is by Deborah Newton and appeared in the Winter 2009 Interweave Knits issue. The sweater was a fairly relaxing knit. The lace pattern around the yoke and sleeves was intricate enough to be interesting, but simple enough to not completely stress me out. I like the way that the sweater fits...the measurements in the pattern are dead on, which was a relief. It also didn't take very long, comparatively speaking...and speaking of comparisons, this sweater was an absolute job compared to the Clementine.
Also...this is a very very very very warm sweater. gotta be the alpaca.

Very pretty! I do love me some alpaca! :)
I just wanted to share my thanks with you for your free patterns. I made my mother some of your Movie Theater Discloths last year for her birthday. She loved them so much that she requested more this year. I linked to your pattern in my blog sustainablerick.blogspot.com. Thanks again.
Tiff
