i love you golden blue
Photo swiped from Peter.
Specs: Stefanie Japel's "cardigan with leaf ties" from Fitted Knits. I made the sleeves a little shorter than called for because I didn't like the unsightly flare of the hem when I bent my arms. I also eliminated the leaves from the ties and used 4 stitches instead of 5 for the i-cord.
The sweater used exactly three 200-yard skeins of worsted weight wool from Rabbitworks Fibre Studio, dyed for me by Rabbitch in the best blue ever. It kicks all kinds of ass paired with this dress. Many hapless Windsor carnival-goers were blinded; a cop on a bike was so blinded he nearly ran into me.

Looks great, I was thinking of making one in red for a red dress of mine but looking at yours, the contrast is so great, i need to consider other colours.

Cool! I always like to see my yarn in the wild once I've set it free ...

Very cute, Jodi. The perfect cover up for such a dainty, summery dress.

nice, nice. and a custom dye-job by someone other than yourself - that's exciting.
i considered it myself, but i need to put on the blinders and focus on the on-a-deadline lace knitting that i've got going right now (i'll be writing about it - along with my first food post in more than a month - tomorrow, chez domestic affair).

Dude, that looks wonderful! You look fantastic in that picture. I lovelovelove it. Methinks I need to find some yarn in the old yarn closet for that.
