Since I Have Declared 2012 "The Year of the Sweater"

May I present the first 5 sweaters of 2012.....actually, the first one is in the previous post.  These are 2, 3, 4 & 5...


I have finished 2 more, but one is a testknit so it is a secret for the time being, and the other is blocking as I type this. I feel so accomplished actually knitting beautiful, wearable, flattering, form-fitting sweaters.  So far, they have all been for me, but I will probably make my mom and daughter each one for Christmas.

I am having serious issues with my elbow at the moment, so I am laying off knitting with heavier yarns for now.
Drambuie in String Theory Merino DK
Water and Stone in Madelinetosh Pashmina
(probably my favorite so far)
Vodka Lemonade in Madelinetosh Tosh DK
Bulky V-Neck Pullover (highly modified) in
Spincycle BFL/20% silk handspun
