Back To Basics

Here is a sweater that I made from a pattern.  I found a wonderful French sweater book with very fun patterns.  It had loads of really great things, & this was one of them.  Actually, the only one I've made from the book..so far!  Of course, none of the yarns are available any longer & the patterns had some interesting translation terms.  It made it a little more challenging!

I used a lovely heathery wool in a deep burgundy.  The sweater has a cable "V" down the front, with seed stitches in the middle of the "V" & a block type stitch on the outside of it.  It makes for an interesting effect, & I think it makes the "V" stand out more. 

This sweater came out well, it fit very well, & is a great snuggley winter sweater.  Being as it was made many years ago, I don't think I made any mistakes on it...none that I can see at least!  Unfortunately, it is too small for me at this time, so I can't wear it anymore.
