kitty: A new fall sweater

Pattern: Pumpkin Pie
Designer: Heather Dixon
Yarn: Blue Sky Alpacas Worsted Cotton

I haven't had a lot of time for knitting as of late, but I did just finish a fun pattern by Heather Dixon called Pumpkin Pie. It had been on my list of things to knit for awhile. So when Wendy of Knit and Tonic fame listed a lot of 12 skeins of Blue Sky Alpaca Worsted Cotton on her destash list this summer I jumped on the listing.

The yarn feels like a teddy bear, but sadly is already piling after just one wearing.

  3. That's a lovely pullover; I love the details of the cables along the sleeves and the neckline. Pity about the pilling… let's hope it stops soon.

  5. I find that a trip through the washer usually stops BSA Cotton from pilling. Hope it works for you!

  6. I haven't felt much like blogging...and needed something to talk about. Glad you like my sweaters. That Bohus yarn is decadent--angora/merino.
