These are self-timer shots and they aren’t great because I don’t have the sweater on just right and I’m not posed just right and the sweater was still a little damp from blocking but I wasn’t sure how long I would have sunlight, so you get what you get. And to appease those few of you who heckle me about not wearing my knits in my pictures and never posting a picture of myself **cough**Cynthia**cough** please note that I did indeed include a head shot. It’s even a crappy head shot where I am squinty eyed and only sort of smiling and with a shadow that looks like a second chin, but I am going to leave it on the blog and not complain about it too much more.
Particulars:
Yarn: Cestari 2-Ply 100% American Merino minimally processed in Coxcomb, approx. 3 skeins, but I only used about 2.75 skeins
Needles: US 10 1/2 Valley Yarns Interchangeable Bamboo Circulars and US 10 1/2 Clover Bamboo DPNS
Pattern: Liesl by Ysolda Teague, the only modification that I made was to make it much longer in the body and sleeves; I love where it hits on my hip and hand, it’s exactly what I wanted
It’s also a State Fair entry and I know that it won’t place, but the fair was great motivation to get it done. I have a new sweater!! ![]()














It’s beautiful and looks great on you! (and that’s a nice photo of you)
wow super duper quick!!! It looks fantastic! Have you decided on a romi??
Lovely! Thank you for the pictures.
Well, I think it should place. It’s gorgeous!!!
aww, kelli, you look great and so does the sweater! you shouldn’t put yourself down so much! : )
Very nice - what a great sweater and it looks really nice on you!
Beautiful!! Whew, that’s a lot of blocking to do!
Absolutely beautiful! I love the color.
You so make me want to knit a knee-length version of that.
It’s lovely! Funny, I was just looking at the pattern yesterday and wondering about giving it a go. I like the extra length that you added.
Loving the length on the sleeves! It’s just lovely. As is its model.
You look cute! Great sweater, too. Pretty color.
You and your sweater both look wonderful. :o)
