In my $1 bin buys, I got a few skeins of mohair. I really wanted to do something cool with it. I got 5 black and silver ones, and 7 coal colored ones. I looked at some free patterns and found a sweater that used 4 skeins of the two colors. I also needed some ribbon yarn, but that was easy enough to get. Here is the back and the start of the front:
It's not much to look at right now, but I hope it will be cool when I finish it! This is my first pull over sweater. My short cardigan came out so well that I feel like I could tackle a pull over. The pattern said it was "easy". HA HA... so far it is.... I read thought it and some of the directions for the neckline are a little confusing. I'll do the best I can and if I have to rip it out to fix it, then that's what I'll do. My goal is to get the front up to where the shoulder shaping starts tonight.
Today, I also went to ravelry to try and get an account. It looks like I'll be waiting a while.... 7558 people were ahead of me waiting to get on. There were only 3 people behind me. I read about this site on Ysolda's blog. She's from the UK and she is an AMAZING knitter! I love seeing her knitted goods. I hope someday that I can be that creative with my knitting too!
