This sleeve is in desperate need of blocking, but I think it will be okay. The sweater is mostly white when taken as a whole; the stranding on the sleeves offers a little punch of color which is softened by the field of snow around it.
Most of all, I love how my sleeve shows off the beautiful chart created by Julia Farwell-Clay. Her inspiration came from Bohemian embroidery, but the design reminds me of the hex signs from my Amish and Quaker roots.
Onward to the second sleeve...



I think it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks amazing!!
ReplyDeleteYour color choices are better than the ones in the original pattern! I can't wait to see all your pieces done and put together...though knowing you from your blog, that will probably be done in a couple of days. You are amazing!
