janestarzTaking this along on our train trip to London was a wonderful idea, and by the time we got back it was just a matter of finishing the last bits. I never got around to posting about it here, but the Snowflake jumper is done, and I've already worn it to two visits to various parents around the Netherlands.
The best part about a warm wool jumper is that it's wonderful to sit around in, as you often do when visiting parents, and you don't get cold.
Aside from that, it's a pretty dang spiffy jumper, and I am very happy I started over in January. Having picked up gaming most evenings I don't spend nearly as much time knitting, so this took me 9 months and two weeks to finish all in all.
This was knit from the top down, and I started out with a size M neckline, kept increasing until I hit the stitch count for size L, and then after the waist shaping continued increasing to a size XL for the hips. The fit is lovely, and I couldn't be happier!
I omitted the buttons at the neckline and just knitted the lace yoke in the round. I might just have to make this one again with a DK yarn at some point.
