Cobblestone Pullover FO and Nomad Hat and Scarf FO
Cobblestone PulloverI like it when it only takes 9 days to knit a sweater. Of course it doesn't hurt that My Fella usually fits one of the smaller sizes. This Cobblestone Pullover pattern by Brooklyntweed is a beaut. It's very easy to read and all of it is knit in the round which I love! The only seams to be sewn are under the arms, another plus for me since I dislike sewing seams. My Fella is so sweet he has been very careful his green zip-up skull sweater for fear that he might wreck it somehow. It was the first sweater I had ever knit for him so I appreciate and understand how he feels. But this time I have given him strict orders to wreck this sweater. Pilling, threadbare, worn. I want him to wear it so often that people start asking him why he doesn't change clothes. *haha* Okay, maybe not that much...
I knit this sweater with Rowan Felted Tweed (50% Merino wool/ 25% Alpaca/25% Viscose/Rayon). 6 1/2 balls @ 50g each (175m/191yds).

Nomad Hat and ScarfAnother quick knit FO I've got is the Nomad Hat and Scarf pattern by Kat Coyle from the same Fall 2007 issue of IK. I knit it with Patagonia Nature Cotton from Araucania.
Now all we have to do is wait for fall.

Lovely knits! My DH won't wear sweaters, but I might just find a willing victim to knit Cobblestone for anyway - it looks like a very satisfying project! Love yours in the red... and the nomad hat looks so cozy! Come on fall!!!!
Oh man - you guys are soooo cute!
The FOS look great but petting them today was even better!
I love the sweater you made for him. It looks fantastic. Here's to him wearing it out!
you are the poster knitter for the IK fall issue!! great knits! I just love the Cobblestone. Okay, you talked me into it. I need to make this one for my man...
Wow! You're the Fastest Knitter in the West! I love the sweater in red. It's nicer than the one in the mag for sure. And the socks are great too (even if I don't like short-row heels). Love the curvy top edge.
